Large-scale shaking table model tests on seismically induced failure of Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dams     

《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2016

An increasing number of high Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dams (CFRDs) have been and are being built in highly seismic hazardous regions. Because there are few examples, the failure mechanisms for each damaged CFRD still remain unclear, which prevents a rational evaluation of aseismic performance of a CFRD. In this paper, a series of large-scale shaking table tests are conducted to determine the dynamic failure modes of CFRDs, especially the failure mechanism of the face slab. A type of model slab material is developed according to similitude rules. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is used and improved to track the motion of each grain and subsequently measure the entire velocity field of the deforming cross-sections of dam models. The failure processes of the dams, the failure mechanisms of the slab fractures and the slab dislocations are discussed based on the experimental results. The experiments indicate that large deformations of the uppermost part of the dam caused the face slab to curve upward and crack. Another important fracture morphology of the face slab is the dislocation of its joint. The change in the granular fabric caused the granular slope to slide down and thrust outward, eventually dragging the upper half of the face slab down against its lower half; this motion is accompanied by the formation of a joint dislocation. Therefore, the stability and anti-deformation ability of both the downstream slope and the crest region of the upstream slope should be improved to withstand earthquake. The results of the shaking table model tests are consistent with the numerical simulation, and both results support the prototype dam׳s seismically induced failure characteristics.  相似文献

采用多工况振动台实验研究液化对土层水平往返变形的影响.以干砂实验为参照,分析孔压增长与土层加速度和土层往返变形之间的关系.结果表明:液化将引起土表加速度显著降低,减小惯性力传递,但同时会引起土层往返剪应变明显增大.对往返变形而言,液化土层往返剪应变就可达到1%～5%的大变形状态,且液化土层往返剪应变沿深度呈下大上小分布.土层中孔压比0.4～0.8是往返变形出现放大的敏感段,在孔压比0.8左右而不是在1.0达到最大.作为其结果,土层液化将对刚性上部结构振动起减震作用,但同时增大的往返剪应变也易导致基础和地下结构破坏,特别是对液化层与下部非液化层交界处的构件更敏感.  相似文献   

Seismic upgrading of old masonry buildings by seismic isolation and CFRP laminates: a shaking-table study of reduced scale models   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

The efficiency of improving the seismic resistance of old masonry buildings by means of seismic isolation and confining the structure with CFRP laminate strips has been investigated. Five models of a simple two-story brick masonry building with wooden floors without wall ties have been tested on the shaking table. The control model has been built directly on the foundation slab. The second model has been separated from it by a damp-proof course in the form of a PVC sheet placed in the bed-joint between the second and the third course, whereas the third model has been isolated by rubber isolators placed between the foundation slab and structural walls. Models four and five have been confined with CFRP laminate strips, simulating the wall ties placed horizontally and vertically at floor levels and corners of the building, respectively. One of the CFRP strengthened models has been placed on seismic isolators. Tests have shown that a simple PVC sheet damp-proof course cannot be considered as seismic isolator unless adequately designed. Tests have also shown that the isolators alone did not prevent the separation of the walls. However, both models confined with CFRP strips exhibited significantly improved seismic behavior. The models did not collapse even when subjected to significantly stronger shaking table motion than that resisted by the control model without wall ties.  相似文献

地震引起的相邻建筑物间的碰撞过去多次强烈地震中出现,并造成了较为严重的结构破坏。为研究此问题,设计建造了两座缩尺钢质模型来模拟香港两座相邻的21层建筑,对其进行了一系列振动台碰撞试验,试验结果表明复杂结构间的碰撞可能是周期性的、群周期性的或混沌的,这主要取决于间距、结构参数以及地震动参数。碰撞引起的能量传递可能对较柔较轻的邻近建筑造成较严重的地震反应和破坏。  相似文献   

Shaking Table Test Study on Dynamic Characteristics of Bridge Foundation Reinforcement on Slopes   总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0

With the fast development of bridge construction in mountainous and seismic areas, it is necessary to conduct related research. Based on the design of a shaking table model test, here are the following test results:the filtering effect exists in soil and is affected by the dynamic constraint conditions, the amplitude is strengthened around the natural frequency and weakened in other frequency bands in the Fourier spectrum. Since the acceleration scaling effect occurred on a sloped surface, the acceleration response decreases from the outside to the inside in soil. The dynamic response is relatively strong near the slip surface in bedrock due to the reflection of seismic waves. The failure mode of landslide is decided by the slope angle and slipping mass distribution, and the test shows the front row stabilizing piles should keep a proper distance from bridge foundation so that seismic resistance can be guaranteed for the bridge foundation.  相似文献

为弥补试验的不足,对试验室里难以实现的情况进行研究,如大比例甚至足尺模型的动力试验,利用大型有限元软件MSC.MARC对钢筋-沥青复合隔震层建立了非线性有限元模型。利用钢筋非线性子程序UBEAM和非线性弹簧子程序USPRNG,分别模拟了钢筋和砖墩-上梁之间相互作用关系的非线性情况,引入了沥青油膏的温度影响系数。为验证该模型,在钢筋沥青隔震层试件振动台试验的基础上,对振动台试验中各试件的模态进行了计算、对各工况进行了三维有限元时程分析,并将分析结果与试验结果对比,计算结果与试验结果吻合较好,验证了该模型的准确性和合理性。最后利用该模型,建立了不同高度的砌体结构有限元模型,设计并建立了相应的墙下条形隔震层模型,对钢筋沥青复合隔震层在不同高度的砌体结构中的动力性能和隔震效果进行了数值模拟,并对计算结果进行了归纳和分析,得出了一系列有用的结论。  相似文献   

青藏高原大骨节病流行区环境、食物及人群硒水平研究     

王婧  李海蓉  杨林生 《地理科学进展》2020,39(10):1677-1686

为了解青藏高原大骨节病流行区环境、食物及人群硒水平的分布现状,论文通过CNKI、Web of Science和Google Scholar等数据库检索收集了2000—2018年间发表的关于青藏高原大骨节病病区土壤、粮食、饮水及人发硒含量的文献,按拟定标准共筛选出33篇文献并提取有效数据进行统计分析。结果显示,青藏高原大骨节病病区自然环境总体仍处于低硒循环状态,其中耕作土壤、饮水平均硒含量分别为0.147 mg·kg^-1和0.54 μg·L^-1,高原自产青稞、小麦、糌粑平均含硒量分别为9.27、19.08、11.07 μg·kg^-1;而病区儿童整体硒营养水平较1990年以前有明显升高趋势,发硒平均含量为0.234 mg·kg^-1,已基本脱离硒缺乏状态(<0.20 mg·kg^-1);外源性大米的硒含量为43.29 μg·kg^-1;病区儿童发硒水平与土壤总硒含量无明显相关关系(r=0.125,P>0.05,N=23)。青藏高原大骨节病流行区儿童发硒水平与自然环境硒水平不一致的变化趋势提示,随着社会人文因素的干预,外源性硒的输入有所增加,并在一定程度上降低了病区人群对当地低硒环境的依赖性,这可能是青藏高原大骨节病病情稳定下降并得到有效控制的主要原因。  相似文献

Variation in low food access areas due to data source inaccuracies     

《Applied geography (Sevenoaks, England)》2013

Several spatial measures of community food access identifying so called “food deserts” have been developed based on geospatial information and commercially-available, secondary data listings of food retail outlets. It is not known how data inaccuracies influence the designation of Census tracts as areas of low access. This study replicated the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service (USDA ERS) food desert measure and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) non-healthier food retail tract measure in two secondary data sources (InfoUSA and Dun & Bradstreet) and reference data from an eight-county field census covering 169 Census tracts in South Carolina. For the USDA ERS food deserts measure accuracy statistics for secondary data sources were 94% concordance, 50–65% sensitivity, and 60–64% positive predictive value (PPV). Based on the CDC non-healthier food retail tracts both secondary data demonstrated 88–91% concordance, 80–86% sensitivity and 78–82% PPV. While inaccuracies in secondary data sources used to identify low food access areas may be acceptable for large-scale surveillance, verification with field work is advisable for local community efforts aimed at identifying and improving food access.  相似文献   

Soil geochemical parameters influencing the spatial distribution of anthrax in Northwest Minnesota,USA     

《Applied Geochemistry》2016

Bacillus anthracis is the pathogenic bacterium that causes anthrax, which dwells in soils as highly resilient endospores. B. anthracis spore viability in soil is dependent upon environmental conditions, but the soil properties necessary for spore survival are unclear. In this study we used a range of soil geochemical and physical parameters to predict the spatial distribution of B. anthracis in northwest Minnesota, where 64 cases of anthrax in livestock were reported from 2000 to 2013. Two modeling approaches at different spatial scales were used to identify the soil conditions most correlated to known anthrax cases using both statewide and locally collected soil data. Ecological niche models were constructed using the Maximum Entropy (Maxent) approach and included 11 soil parameters as environmental inputs and recorded anthrax cases as known presences. One ecological niche model used soil data and anthrax presences for the entire state while a second model used locally sampled soil data (n = 125) and a subset of anthrax presences, providing a test of spatial scale. In addition, simple logistic regression models using the localized soil data served as an independent measure of variable importance. Maxent model results indicate that at a statewide level, soil calcium and magnesium concentrations, soil pH, and sand content are the most important properties for predicting soil suitability for B. anthracis while at the local level, clay and sand content along with phosphorous and strontium concentrations are most important. These results also show that the spatial scale of analysis is important when considering soil parameters most important for B. anthracis spores. For example, at a broad scale, B. anthracis spores may require Ca-rich soils and an alkaline pH, but may also concentrate in microenvironments with high Sr concentrations. The study is also one of the first ecological niche models that demonstrates the major importance of soil texture for defining the ecological niche of B. anthracis. These results will help improve our understanding of the soil geochemical conditions most suitable for B. anthracis as well as more reliably identify areas where anthrax may be found to focus prevention and remediation efforts.  相似文献
