Effect of soil crusting on the emission and transport of wind-eroded sediment: field measurements on loamy sandy soil   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Field data are reported for the horizontal and vertical flux of wind-eroded sediment on an agricultural field in northern Germany. Measurements were made during a windstorm that hit the region on 18 May 1999. The magnitude of both fluxes was significantly affected by the presence of a surface crust covering the test field. Measuring the physical crust strength at 45 locations with a torvane, the relationships between crust strength (τ) and the horizontal (F_h) and vertical (F_v) sediment fluxes were investigated. Both fluxes decreased as the surface crust became stronger. The decay behaved as an exponential function for both types of flux. The horizontal sediment flux over a crusted surface can be accurately predicted by completing Marticorena and Bergametti's [Journal of Geophysical Research 100 (1995) 16415] erosion model with a crust function. The vertical particle flux over crusted soil can be calculated by adding a similar function to Alfaro and Gomes's [Journal of Geophysical Research 106D (2001) 18075] dust production model. The study also suggests that the gradual bombardment of a surface crust by impacting particles does not immediately result in a decay of the crust's protective effect, provided that the crust has a minimum thickness. However, once the crust becomes perforated, its protective effect disappears very quickly, leading to much higher horizontal and vertical sediment fluxes than predicted for undamaged crusted soil.  相似文献   

Pleistocene ice and paleo-strain rates at Taylor Glacier, Antarctica     

S.M. Aciego  J.L. Kavanaugh 《Quaternary Research》2007,68(3):303-313

Ice exposed in ablation zones of ice sheets can be a valuable source of samples for paleoclimate studies and information about long-term ice dynamics. We report a 28-km long stable isotope sampling transect along a flowline on lower Taylor Glacier, Antarctica, and show that ice from the last glacial period is exposed here over tens of kilometers. Gas isotope analyses on a small number of samples confirm our age hypothesis. These chronostratigraphic data contain information about past ice dynamics and in particular should be sensitive to the longitudinal strain rate on the north flank of Taylor Dome, averaged over millennia. The imprint of climatic changes on ice dynamics may be discernible in these data.  相似文献   

Divergence of turbulent fluxes in the surface layer: case of a coastal city     

G. Pigeon  A. Lemonsu  C. S. B. Grimmond  P. Durand  O. Thouron  V. Masson 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2007,124(2):269-290

This study quantifies the processes that take place in the layer between the mean building height and the measurement level of an energy balance micrometeorological tower located in the dense old core of a coastal European city. The contributions of storage, vertical advection, horizontal advection and radiative divergence for heat are evaluated with the available measurements and with a three-dimensional, high-resolution meteorological simulation that had been evaluated against observations. The study focused on a summer period characterized by sea-breeze flows that affect the city. In this specific configuration, it appears that the horizontal advection is the dominant term. During the afternoon when the sea breeze is well established, correction of the sensible heat flux with horizontal heat advection increases the measured sensible heat flux up to 100 W m⁻². For latent heat flux, the horizontal moisture advection converted to equivalent latent heat flux suggests a decrease of 50 W m⁻². The simulation reproduces well the temporal evolution and magnitude of these terms.  相似文献

近几年来,复合土钉支护结构广泛应用于深基坑支护中。本文对一工程实例用SnEpFem土钉墙有限元数值分析软件,对土钉和预应力锚杆+土钉、微型桩+土钉、微型桩+预应力锚杆+土钉3种复合土钉支护结构的工作机制进行数值模拟,对比分析4种支护结构的坡面水平位移、坡顶沉降和沉降范围、坑底隆起、张拉区和塑性区范围等特点,发现:(1)与单纯土钉支护相比,复合土钉支护可以有效控制边坡变形,缩小边坡张拉区和塑性区范围,对提高边坡的稳定有利。(2)设置微型桩对坡面水平位移的控制比施加预应力的效果更好。(3)设置微型桩可以有效控制坡顶沉降,而施加预应力对坡顶沉降的影响很小。(4)4种支护结构对坑底隆起的影响趋势是一致的,量值变化很小。经过对比分析,在这一工程地质和水文地质条件下,最可靠的复合土钉支护结构是微型桩+预应力锚杆+土钉支护结构,该支护结构的变形、沉降以及张拉区和塑性区范围都是最小的,是最优的设计结构。  相似文献

Contribution de la gravimétrie à l'étude de la structure du bassin de Tadla (Maroc) : Implications hydrogéologiques

This study is based on the analysis and the interpretation of the gravity data of the Tadla basin. Its purpose is to increase the knowledge of this basin structure. A residual anomaly map was first calculated from the Bouguer anomaly data witch are strongly affected by a regional gradient. The computed map provides information on the ground density variation but it does not bring enough of new elements. Data filtering allows us to emphasize the structures affecting the basin. We chose the horizontal gradient coupled to the upward continuation techniques that permit to highlight news structures and to give information on their dip. The elaborated structural map of the study area constitutes a useful document for rationalizing the future groundwater exploration in the Tadla basin. To cite this article: A. Najine et al., C. R.

华北主要构造单元及边界带现今水平形变与运动机制   总被引：26，自引：3，他引：26       下载免费PDF全文

根据华北地区12，15，16，1年高精度GPS观测结果，给出了华北地区各主要构造单元间两个时段(12-16年和16-1年)的相对水平运动.其结果为：①相对于鄂尔多斯单元，阴山单元的运动为(0-2.3)±1.6mm/a，方向约0°-W13°N，属于相对较弱左旋走滑运动.②相对于鄂尔多斯单元，晋冀鲁豫单元的运动为(4.4±1.0)-(2.5±1.5)mm/a，方向约为S50°-30°E，属于右旋型拉张运动；相对于燕山单元，则为(4.7±1.4)-(4.3±1.4)mm/a，方向约为E37°-°S，属拉张型左旋走滑运动.③相对于晋冀鲁豫单元，胶辽鲁苏单元12-16年的运动显示了顺扭的运动特征；16-1年的运动为(2.6±1.5)mm/a，保持顺扭趋势，方向约为W11°S，总体上属于北张南压的右旋走滑运动.分析表明：现今地壳构造活动与现代地壳构造运动性质基本一致，但量值有所差别；地壳运动存在着数年尺度的较明显的波动性，这可能是大陆地壳运动的一个主要特征；16-1年的运动不同于12-16年，主要表现为鄂尔多斯单元北移态势增强，山西断陷带和燕山构造带两侧拉张性有所减弱，可能是张北地震后应力调整与华北地区边界力耦合共同作用的结果.  相似文献

Assessment of liquefaction-inducing peak ground velocity and frequency of horizontal ground shaking at onset of phenomenon   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M. V. Kostadinov  I. Towhata   《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2002,22(4)

It is recognized that soil improvement techniques are not economically feasible for mitigation of liquefaction-induced lifeline damages because of the large areas served. Instead, it is more practical to execute an emergency action immediately after an earthquake in order to prevent or minimize possible lifeline failures caused by the soil liquefaction. Essential element in the implementation of such a plan is the real-time identification of liquefied sites, which can be successfully achieved by analyzing surface strong motion records. In this paper, the thresholds of two ground motion parameters—the peak surface velocity and horizontal shaking frequency of the ground—that are associated with the soil liquefaction are assessed utilizing the theory of one-dimensional wave propagation in linearly elastic medium. Obtained simple expressions for both parameters are used to estimate their ranges and are examined against several case histories. Minimum level of peak ground velocity (PGV) is verified by experimental data from shaking-table test. Linear relationships between amplitude ground motion parameters at liquefied-soil sites are also developed. Results suggest that liquefaction is likely to take place when PGV exceeds 0.10 m/s and that the upper bound of horizontal ground vibration frequency after liquefaction occurrence is 1.3–2.3 Hz.  相似文献
