The seismic response of rocking frames that consist of a rigid beam freely supported on rigid freestanding rectangular piers has received recent attention in the literature. Past studies have investigated the special case where, upon planar rocking motion, the beam maintains contact with the piers at their extreme edges. However, in many real scenarios, the beam‐to‐pier contact lies closer to the center of the pier, affecting the overall stability of the system. This paper investigates the seismic response of rocking frames under the more general case which allows the contact edge to reside anywhere in‐between the center of the pier and its extreme edge. The study introduces a rocking block model that is dynamically equivalent to a rocking frame with vertically symmetric piers of any geometry. The impact of top eccentricity (ie, the distance of the contact edge from the pier's vertical axis of symmetry) on the seismic response of rocking frames is investigated under pulse excitations and earthquake records. It is concluded that the stability of a top‐heavy rocking frame is highly influenced by the top eccentricity. For instance, a rocking frame with contacts at the extreme edges of the piers can be more seismically stable than a solitary block that is identical to one of the frame's piers, while a rocking frame with contacts closer to the centers of the piers can be less stable. The concept of critical eccentricity is introduced, beyond which the coefficient of restitution contributes to a greater reduction in the response of a frame than of a solitary pier.  相似文献   

Detecting,sourcing, and age-dating dredged sediments on the open shelf,southern California,using dead mollusk shells

Molluscan shell debris is an under-exploited means of detecting, sourcing, and age-dating dredged sediments in open-shelf settings. Backscatter features on the Southern California shelf are suggestive of dredged sediment hauled from San Diego Bay but deposited significantly inshore of the EPA-designated ocean disposal site. We find that 36% of all identifiable bivalve shells > 2 mm (44% of shells > 4 mm) in sediment samples from this 'short dump' area are from species known to live exclusively in the Bay; such shells are absent at reference sites of comparable water depth, indicating that their presence in the short-dump area signals non-compliant disposal rather than natural offshore transport or sea level rise. These sediments lack the shells of species that invaded California bays in the 1970s, suggesting that disposal preceded federal regulations. This inexpensive, low-tech method, with its protocol for rejecting alternative hypotheses, will be easy to adapt in other settings.  相似文献

Upper Carboniferous stratigraphy of the West Midlands (UK) revised in the light of borehole geophysical logs and detrital compositional suites     

B. M. BESLY  C. J. CLEAL 《Geological Journal》1997,32(2):85-118

The existing lithostratigraphic nomenclature of the late Carboniferous succession of Staffordshire and Shropshire is reviewed in the light of boreholes drilled since 1950. Four lithostratigrahic units are recognized on the basis of sandstone composition, assemblages of detrital clay minerals and geophysical log response. A regionally developed lithostratigraphic marker formed by a palustrine sequence with a distinctive gamma ray response is identified. Recognition of these features permits the identification of former incorrect correlations, and allows revisions to the lithostratigraphy to be proposed. A revision of the macroflora indicates a late Westphalian D to Cantabrian age for the higher part of the succession. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Three-dimensional distribution of larval fish assemblages across a surface thermal/chlorophyll front in a semienclosed sea

The oceanographic processes involved in marine fronts and their effects on the plankton are still a challenge in the understanding of marine ecosystems. This study examines the relationship of the three-dimensional distribution of larval fish assemblages (LFAs) with hydrography on a tidal-mixing surface thermal/chlorophyll front in the highly productive midriff archipelago of the Gulf of California during summer (August, 2005). Zooplankton samples were obtained on both sides of the front with an opening–closing net (505 μm) in 50-m strata from the surface to 200 m depth. The Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index defined three strata groups with different LFAs. On the cool side of the front, characterized by high chlorophyll, salinity, and dissolved oxygen, an LFA with the lowest larval abundance (97 larvae/10 m²) and low taxa number (44) was defined. On the warm side of the front, where the lowest concentrations of surface dissolved oxygen and surface chlorophyll were recorded, an LFA was defined on the pycnocline, with the highest mean larval abundance and number of taxa (927 larvae/10 m² and 109 taxa); it was composed of epipelagic, mesopelagic, and demersal species. Also on the warm side of the front, but below the pycnocline, an LFA was observed with medium larval abundance and taxa number (126 larvae/10 m² and 28 taxa), formed by mesopelagic species. This assemblage was absent from the cool area to the northwest of the front, mainly from 150 to 50 m depth, where maximum-salinity water from the Northern Gulf was found. We conclude that the surface thermal/chlorophyll front had a profound effect on LFAs distribution in the surface layer, while the southward intrusion of maximum-salinity water from the Northern Gulf bounded the LFAs distribution in the deeper layer under the pycnocline. Therefore, in addition to the surface thermal/chlorophyll front, the hydrographic processes associated with the Gulf's seasonal and thermohaline circulation affect the LFAs three-dimensional distribution. Similar relationships may occur in other ocean ecosystems.  相似文献
