This article explores the possibility to measure deformations of building foundations from measurements of ambient noise and strong motion recordings. The case under study is a seven-storey hotel building in Van Nuys, California. It has been instrumented by strong motion accelerographs, and has recorded several earthquakes, including the 1971 San Fernando (M_L=6.6, R=22 km), 1987 Whittier–Narrows (M_L=5.9, R=41 km), 1992 Landers (M_L=7.5, R=186 km), 1992 Big Bear (M_L=6.5, R=149 km), and 1994 Northridge (M_L=6.4, R=1.5 km) earthquake and its aftershocks (20 March: M_L=5.2, R=1.2 km; 6 December, 1994: M_L=4.3, R=11 km). It suffered minor structural damage in 1971 earthquake and extensive damage in 1994. Two detailed ambient vibration tests were performed following the Northridge earthquake, one before and the other one after the 20 March aftershock. These included measurements at a grid of points on the ground floor and in the parking lot surrounding the building, presented and analyzed in this article. The analysis shows that the foundation system, consisting of grade beams on friction piles, does not act as a “rigid body” but deforms during the passage of microtremor and therefore earthquake waves. For this geometrically and by design essentially symmetric building, the center of stiffness of the foundation system appears to have large eccentricity (this is seen both from the microtremor measurements and from the earthquake recordings). This eccentricity may have contributed to strong coupling of transverse and torsional responses, and to larger than expected torsional response, contributing to damage during the 1994 Northridge, earthquake.  相似文献   

Identification of the Hualien soil-structure interaction system     

C. -B. Yun  J. -S. Choi  J. -M. Kim 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》1999,18(6):689

This article demonstrates how system identification techniques can be successfully applied to a soil-structure interaction system in conjunction with the results of the forced vibration tests on the Hualien large-scale seismic test structure which was recently built in Taiwan for an international joint research. The parameters identified are the shear moduli of several near-field soil regions as well as Young's moduli of the shell sections of the structure. The soil-structure interaction system is represented by the finite element method combined with infinite element formulation for the unbounded layered soil medium. Preliminary investigations are carried out on the results of the static stress analysis for the soil medium and the results of the in-situ tests to divide the soil-structure system into several regions with homogeneous properties and to determine the lower and upper bounds of the parameters for the purpose of identification. Then two sets of parameters are identified for two principal directions based on the forced vibration test data by minimizing the estimation error using the constrained steepest descent method. The simulated responses for the forced vibration tests using the identified parameters show excellent agreement with the test data. The present estimated parameters are also found to be well compared with the average value of those by other researchers in the joint project.  相似文献   

厄尔尼诺海区海温季节预测比较   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

余锦华 《南京气象学院学报》1999,22(3):374-380

利用奇异值分解方法建立多项线性统计气候预测模型,对厄尔尼诺海区各季节海温进行了短期气候预测试验,并采用历史资料独立样本检验的方法,评定不同预报时效的预报技巧。结果表明,不同海区各季节的预报效果相差很大。赤道西太平洋（ Ｎｉｎｏ ４区）有最高的可预报性,在夏季末做冬季海温预报的技巧最高,多数条件下,这个区域的预报性能比较稳定。以海温和南方涛动指数作因子场的预报效果最好,大部分预报以单季的海温和南方涛动指数为预报因子效果较好,但有些预报以连续２季或３季的海温和南方涛动指数作预报因子的预报效果更好。  相似文献

气温气候资料是一个含有月、年、十年、百年等时间尺度的分形客体．大尺度上是冷暖之分,而每个冷（或暖）又分为较小尺度上的冷暖,形成层次结构．利用它的子波变换的尺度α－时间位置ｔ０表述,可以构造出分段线性一维映射动力系统,这个映射表征气候的层次结构,反映气候变化的突变点时间位置的规律和标度不变性．文中讨论了构造一维动力映射的基本原理,并以中国气温为例进行了验证．  相似文献

用Ｊｏｎｅｓ、Ｗａｌａｃｅ等人全球年平均气温距平和全球陆地和海洋月平均气温距平格点资料,通过相关和趋势分析及Ｍａｎｎ－Ｋｅｎｄａｌ趋势检验（以下简称ＭＫＴ检验）发现：本世纪全球绝大部分地区增暖是显著的,而热带、副热带海洋,尤其是印度洋近百年来增暖最稳定．北大西洋近几十年来的显著降温导致了西半球３０°Ｎ以北大部分地区增暖趋势明显下降．与之相反,东半球欧亚大陆近几十年来冬季的强烈增温使地球增暖趋势大大增高,以致形成了东亚大陆和北大西洋－北美大陆东部地区在近５０年来变温反相的不均衡格局  相似文献
