Estimation of a multidimensional covariance function in case of anisotropy     

Leon Borgman  Li Chao 《Mathematical Geology》1994,26(2):161-179

A model of a multivariate covariance function with an ellipsoidal directional correlation scale has been developed. The axes of the ellipsoidal scale are related to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix B which characterizes the ellipsoid of the range of influence. The matrix B is found to be related to a matrix T which can be estimated directly from sparse sampling data and can be used to determine estimates of the matrix B. The method has been applied to both two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases. The numerical results show that the satisfactory accuracy is obtained with sparse sampling data from an anisotropic random function.  相似文献   

Transient loading-related settlement of a square foundation on geogrid-reinforced sand     

B. M. Das  A. Maji 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》1994,12(4):241-251

Summary Laboratory model test results are presented that determine the effectiveness of using layers of geogrids as reinforcement in sand to reduce the settlement of square surface foundations subjected to transient loading. The model tests were conducted with only one type of geogrid at one relative density of compaction of sand. The maximum intensity of the transient load applied always exceeded the static ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation when supported by unreinforced sand. The settlement reduction factors for various depths of reinforcement have been determined.  相似文献   

吉林腰英台油田油水分布特征及成因探讨     

殷红 《江苏地质》2005,29(1):28-31

腰英台油田是东北地区新发现的油田，目前刚开始勘探开发，在勘探开发初期遇到不少问题。其中之一是开采时高含水：就油田的实际油水分布特征进行了分析，分析油水同出的可能原因，认为这是受油藏储层物性及构造幅度和实际油柱高度的影响，由于储层低孔、特低渗。实际构造幅度低，实际油柱高度大多低于油藏产纯油所需的油柱高度，致使油藏大都处于油水过渡带。故开采时多含水，油水同出。根据这一分析，认为进一步的油气勘探重点考虑西部水下冲积扇的有利部位。此处储层物性好，有利于接受更多油源。  相似文献   

三角形量测法在隧道变形监测中的应用研究   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

曾鼎华  张永兴  阴可  陈建功 《水文地质工程地质》2005,32(5):113-115

通过对隧道变形监测中三角形量测法原理、计算公式的分析,认为公式中的三角形三边长度并不是收敛计的读数,两者相差一个收敛计本身的附加长度,这是使监测数据产生误差的原因之一。同时探讨了忽略收敛计附加长度引起的误差对监测结果的影响,并结合工程实例介绍了在实测过程中应注意的问题及误差原因。  相似文献   

Space,Place, Population and Census Analysis in Australia     

Graeme Hugo 《The Australian geographer》2007,38(3):335-357

The Australian Census of Population and Housing is a census of people not places. However, where people live and work can be of major relevance in our search for explaining and understanding their behaviour. This paper argues that the place dimension in the Australian census has not been exploited very effectively in this respect. Three dimensions of the issue are addressed. Firstly, the spatial units commonly used for analysis of census data often are not appropriate to the problem being investigated. The spatial units in the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) used for census data rarely represent meaningful social, economic and environmental regions. Secondly, the use of a simple urban/rural dichotomy is criticised as being a very blunt instrument to differentiate settlement types. Thirdly, the relationship between people and place in the census is discussed. While for the most part the census relates people to a single location—their place of usual residence—this is only one of the places with which people regularly interact. It is suggested that there is a need to adopt practices in the census which allow a range of population geographies to be defined. In conclusion it is argued that innovation in the Australian census, especially with the introduction of meshblocks and contemporary methodology and technology in Geographical Information Systems, makes it possible to analyse spatially referenced data in ways that can address these three issues.  相似文献   

Performance of surface footing on geocell-reinforced soft clay beds   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Sitharam G. Thallak  Sireesh Saride  Sujit Kumar Dash 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2007,25(5):509-524

This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests carried out to develop an understanding of the behaviour of geocell-reinforced soft clay foundations under circular loading. Natural silty clay was used in this study. The geocells were prepared using biaxial polymer grid. The performance of the reinforced bed is quantified using non-dimensional factors i.e., Bearing capacity improvement factor (I_f) and Percentage reduction in footing settlement (PRS). The test results demonstrate that the geocell mattress redistributes the footing load over a wider area thereby improving the performance of the footing. The load carrying capacity of the clay bed is increased by a factor of up to about 4.5 times that of unreinforced bed. From the pressure-settlement responses, it is observed that the geocell-reinforced foundation bed behaves as a much stiffer system compared to the unreinforced case indicating that a substantial reduction in footing settlement can be achieved by providing geocell reinforcement in the soft clay bed. The maximum reduction in footing settlement obtained with the provision of geocell mattress of optimum size placed close to the footing is around 90%. Further improvement in performance is obtained with provision of an additional planar geogrid layer at the base of the geocell mattress.  相似文献   

National and transnational borderlanders’ attitudes towards the security fence between Israel and the Palestinian Authority     

Alon Gelbman  Ofra Keinan 《GeoJournal》2007,68(4):279-291

The subject of the security fence between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank has become a major issue in Israel and in the world in the last several years. The main aim of this research is to reveal the attitudes and thoughts about the fence held by local residents living in settlements (borderlanders) in the proximity of a part of the security fence that has already been completed. The research concentrates on the western-Israeli side of the fence, as it aspires to delve into and understand the meaning and implications of the security fence on matters such as personal security, safety of property and freedom of movement, the possibility of maintaining social and economic ties between the two sides and feelings about living in the area in the future. Underlying this research is the transformation occurring in the border area as a result of its closure by construction of the security fence, after many years in which it was open partially. This process has many diverse consequences, some of them contradictory, on the two populations residing near the border in Israel: the majority Jewish population (the national borderlanders), and the minority Arab population (the transnational borderlanders).  相似文献   

一种研究城市化发展的新方法     

姜玲  黄家柱 《地理与地理信息科学》2007,23(4):107-109

以南京市1988年TM影像为信息源,组合影像4、5波段得到建筑用地指数(NDBI),采用决策树分类方法对NDBI进行修正,分类提取建筑用地;对照TM影像修改误分的地块后转化为栅格数据,生成50×50个像元大小的格网,统计每个格网单元内的建筑用地率,将该值赋给各个格网单元的几何中心点;采用距离倒数方法由点数据插值得出整个影像范围内的建筑用地区域分异情况,进而反映出不同建筑用地率的辐射影响范围。该方法可定量提取不同建筑用地率的辐射边界,有助于根据单张影像数据分析城市的扩张趋势,可在一定程度上预测城市的发展;对于需要跨江发展的城市(如南京),该方法可以辅助桥梁等过江通道的选址。  相似文献
