Algeria is a country with a high seismic activity. During the last decade, many destructive earthquakes occurred, particularly
in the northern part, causing enormous losses in human lives, buildings, and equipments. In order to reduce this risk in the
capital and avoid serious damages to the strategic existing buildings, the government decided to invest in seismic upgrade,
strengthening, and retrofitting of these buildings. To do so, seismic vulnerability study of this category of buildings has
been considered. Structural analysis is performed based on a site investigation (inspection of the building, collecting data,
materials characteristics, general conditions of the building, etc.) and existing drawings (architectural plans, structural
design, etc.). The aim of these seismic vulnerability studies is to develop guidelines and a methodology for rehabilitation
of existing buildings. This paper presents the methodology followed in our study and summarizes the vulnerability assessment
and strengthening of one of the strategic buildings according to the new Algerian Seismic Design Code RPA 99/version 2003.
As a direct application of this methodology, both static equivalent method and nonlinear dynamic analysis are performed and
presented in this paper. 相似文献

Earthquakes constitute the natural hazard that is one of the main natural threats to the northern part of Algeria because of its geographical setting at the Eurasia–Africa plate boundary. Several active multi-segment reverse faults have been identified near urban areas that may rupture during characteristic earthquakes and produce earthquakes of magnitudes ≥7.0. Characteristic earthquakes are extreme seismic events characterized by long return periods, which can have great societal impact. Earthquakes in northern Algeria are destructive for two main reasons: firstly, the shallow character of the faults and secondly, the vulnerability of the building stock built essentially prior to the implementation of seismic design codes that take into account the level of the seismic hazard. That is why even moderate earthquakes are disastrous in this area. 相似文献

The published literature has revealed conflicting results regarding the effect of low plastic fines fraction (Ip?≤?5.0%) on the mechanical behavior of sandy soils. For this reason, the use of different sample initial structures as (initial relative density approach, global void ratio index approach, etc.) could explain these different mechanical responses of granular materials. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the quantitative aspect of the low plastic fines effects on the undrained monotonic response of sand-silt mixtures using the global void ratio approach. To achieve this goal, an experimental testing program through controlled monotonic triaxial tests was carried out on reconstituted saturated Chlef sand containing from 0 to 50% silt with an interval of 10% at three global void ratios (e?=?0.64, 0.66 and 0.68) and subjected to constant confining pressure (σ'3?=?100 kPa). The different samples were reconstituted using two different preparation techniques: DFP and MT. The obtained results show that the low plastic fines content appears as a very relevant parameter in the characterization of the mechanical response of sand-silt mixture samples reconstituted at constant global void ratios, where the steady state shear strength and instability shear strength decreased with the increase in low plastic fines content up to the limiting fines contents (Fc?=?40% and Fc?=?10%) considering both studied initial structures (Dry funnel pluviation and Moist tamping), respectively. Beyond these thresholds fines contents, a reverse trend was observed for all parameters under study. Moreover, the test results indicate that the brittleness index, flow potential (Vf), friction index, equivalent void ratio (e*) and equivalent relative density (Dr*) could be considered as reliable parameters in the prediction of the mechanical behavior of the silty sand soils under study.

Two-dimensional elastic full waveform inversion was applied to two lines extracted from a spiral three-dimensional vertical seismic profile data acquired in an oilfield offshore, Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. The lines were selected to be parallel and perpendicular to the plane defined by the deviated borehole. The purpose of the inversion was to derive high-resolution elastic properties of the subsurface. After pre-processing, the data were band-pass filtered with a minimum frequency of 3.5 Hz and a maximum frequency of 30 Hz. A sequential inversion approach was used to mitigate non-linearity. The pre-processing of the data consisted in the removal of bad traces, followed by amplitude and phase corrections. High-resolution P- and S-wave velocity models that show good correlations with the available sonic logs were obtained. The results of the inversion suggest that the oilfield consists of a stack of layers with varying lithology, porosity and possibly fluid content. 相似文献

The Pansharpening process aims to merge the high spatial resolution of the panchromatic (Pan) image with the spectral information of the multispectral (MS) images. The fused images should represent an enhanced spatial resolution and should preserve the spectral information simultaneously. In the two last decades, many pansharpening algorithms have been implemented in the literature such as IHS, PCA, HPF, etc. Therefore, in comparison with the various conventional methods, our contribution is the conception of a new fusion scheme by combining two different approaches: the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the NonSubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT). The hypothesis in this combination represent the use of PCA, in first, like statistical approach to obtain from the MS bands the main information, followed by the NSCT as a robust multiresolution and multidirectional approach, to give an optimal representation of the characteristics in the image compared to the classical methods (wavelets), in order to overcome the drawback caused by PCA with the spectral distortion. The focus of this study is to show a new way to combine differently from usual those two approaches, to find a compromise between enhancing the spatial resolution and preserving the spectral information at the same time. The quality of the resulted images has been evaluated by the visual interpretation and the statistical assessment to prove its efficiency compared to other conventional methods. 相似文献

Northwestern Algeria, Tell Atlas chain, belongs to the converging Africa-Eurasia plate boundary. Several active faults have been previously identified and several earthquakes occurred in the past. In the present study, seismites are observed in the Quaternary deposits. The identified seismites include injection sand dykes, pillar structures, pillow structures, load-cast structures, water escape structures, sismoslumps, thixotropic wedges, and thixotropic bowls. The following arguments support their seismic origin: (i) presence of active faults able of producing strong earthquakes, (ii) the granulometric characteristics of the deposits are favorable to liquefaction, (iii) the observed features, mainly those related to water escape structures, are comparable to those observed in modern earthquakes. Therefore, such features are evidence of the occurrence of earthquakes of M?>?5.5 magnitude in this study area, which may occur in the future. 相似文献

AbstractThis study aims to evaluate the relationship between saturated hydraulic conductivity with particle shape and packing density characteristics of silty sand soils. The article presents a series of hydraulics tests performed on three kinds of sand with different particles shapes (Chlef rounded sand, Fontainebleau sub-rounded sand and Hostun sub-angular sand) mixed with low plastic rounded Chlef silt in the range of 0–30% fines content. The sand–silt mixture samples were tested in the constant-head permeability device at a loose relative density (Dr = 18%) and a constant room temperature (T?=?20?°C). The obtained results indicate that the measured saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) correlates very well with the fines content (Fc), packing density in terms of [maximum void ratio “emax,” minimum void ratio “emin,” predicted maximum void ratio “emax”pr and predicted minimum void ratio “emin”pr] and particle shape characteristics ratios in terms of roundness ratio (Rr = Rhs/Rmixture) and sphericity ratio (Sr = Shs/Smixture) of the silty sand materials under consideration. Moreover, the analysis of the available data show a noticeable success in exploring the prediction of the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) based on the particle shape and packing density characteristics (Rr, Sr, emax, and emin) of the studied sand–silt mixture samples. 相似文献

The Algiers–Boumerdes region has been struck by a destructive magnitude 6.8 (Mw) earthquake on May 21, 2003. The study presented in this paper is based on main shock strong motions from 13 stations of the Algerian accelerograph network. A maximum 0.58g peak ground acceleration (PGA) has been recorded at 20 km from the epicenter, only about 150 m away from a PGA of 0.34g, with both a central frequency around 5 Hz, explained by a strong very localized site effect, confirmed by receiver function technique results showing peaks at 5 Hz with amplitudes changing by a factor of 2. Soil amplifications are also evidenced at stations located in the quaternary Mitidja basin, explaining the higher PGA values recorded at these stations than at stations located on firm soil at similar distances from the epicenter. A fault-related directionality effect observed on the strong motion records and confirmed by the study of the seismic movement anisotropy, in agreement with the N65 fault plan direction, explains the SW–NE orientation of the main damage zone. In the near field, strong motions present a high-frequency content starting at 3 Hz with a central frequency around 8 Hz, while in the far field their central frequency is around 3 Hz, explaining the high level of damage in the 3- to 4-story buildings in the epicentral zone. The design spectra overestimate the recorded mean response spectra, and its high corner frequency is less than the recorded one, leading to a re-examination of the seismic design code that should definitively integrate site-related coefficient, to account for the up to now neglected site amplification, as well as a re-modeling of the actual design spectra. Finally, both the proposed Algerian attenuation law and the worldwide laws usually used in Algeria underestimate the recorded accelerations of the 6.8 (Mw) Boumerdes earthquake, clearly showing that it is not possible to extrapolate the proposed Algerian law to major earthquakes. 相似文献
