Dynamic characteristics of marine soft clay under variable phase difference and initial static shear stress

Abstract

Under seismic loading, the soil layer is subjected to multidirectional cyclic shear stress with different amplitudes and frequencies because of the coupling of multiple shear waves and the soil element within a slope or behind a retaining wall is subjected to initial static shear stress before subjected to cyclic loading. Due to the complexity of seismic loading propagation, a phase difference exists between the initial static shear stress and cyclic shear stress. To investigate the influence of the phase difference and initial static shear stress on cyclic shear strain, cyclic modulus, and cyclic strength, a series of laboratory tests are performed on Wenzhou marine soft clay by multi-directional simple shear system, which can simulate the actual state better by controlling the horizontal cyclic stress in the x and y directions simultaneously. As the phase difference varies from 0° to 90°, the dynamic shear modulus increases and cyclic strain accumulation decreases with an increasing number of cycles. The shear strain increases with the initial shear stress.  相似文献   

Effect of microstructure on stress–strain and pore-pressure response of sabarmati sand under the influence of mica     

P. Seethalakshmi 《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2020,15(2):123-139

ABSTRACT

Micaceous soil is believed to be detrimental for civil engineering constructions due to the effect of high compressibility, low compacted density and low shear strength. Individual mica particle has numerous intact mica flakes foliated over each other making it flexible upon loading and rebound upon unloading due to its low hardness and resilient nature. Hence, micaceous soils with mica content more than 10% are considered undesirable for highway pavements, embankments and railway track constructions. When platy mica particles are sufficiently numerous to interact with spherical sand particles, bridging and ordering phenomena are augmented within the soil mass creating unique sand-mica particle orientation (MS microstructure) unlike sand-sand particle orientation (PS microstructure). The current experimental research was conducted to evaluate the variation in stress–strain, pore pressure and effective stress path response of Sabarmati sand under the influence of mica (sand with 30% mica and pure sand) with MS and PS microstructure respectively. Effect of particle crushing on stress–strain and pore pressure response was also studied on Sabarmati sand with MS and PS microstructure. Distinctive macroscopic response was observed in Sabarmati sand with MS microstructure under the influence of mica as well as mica particle crushing.  相似文献   

Effects of wave directionality on extreme response for a long end-anchored floating bridge     

《Applied Ocean Research》2019

Reliable design codes are of great importance when constructing new civil engineering concepts such as floating bridges. Previously only a scarce number of floating bridges have been built in rough wave conditions and only limited knowledge of the extreme environmental conditions and the associated extreme response exists. To form a better design basis an increased understanding of the sensitivity in the structural response towards changes in short-crested sea parameters is needed. Furthermore, acquiring the necessary accuracy in simulated extreme response is often a computationally expensive endeavour and the number of simulations needed is often based on experience. The present study investigates the wave-induced short-term extreme response of a simplified end-anchored floating bridge concept for several wave environments with a return period of 100 years. The study includes convergence of the coefficient of variation for the extreme response for different realization lengths as well as number of realizations. The sensitivity in the structural response towards different main wave directions and spreading exponents is investigated and includes both transverse and vertical displacement response spectra and extreme Von Mises stress in the bridge girder cross-section. The extreme response is based on an accuracy of 2% in the coefficient of variation equivalent to 40 3-h realizations and a low sensitivity in the response is found for natural occurring spreading exponents and for main wave directions within 15° from beam sea.  相似文献   

CHARACTERISTICS OF TECTONIC STRESS FIELD OF THE XIAOWAN RESERVOIR BEFORE AND AFTER THE IMPOUNDMENT          下载免费PDF全文

HUANG Hao  FU Hong 《地震地质》2019,41(6):1413-1428

Using the seismic waveform data of Xiaowan seismic network and Yunnan seismic network, we determined the focal mechanisms of 36 earthquakes(M_L ≥ 3.0)from Jun. 2005 to Dec. 2008 and 51 earthquakes(M_L ≥ 2.5)from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2015 by generalized polarity and amplitude technique. We inverted tectonic stress field of the Xiaowan reservoir before impounding, using the focal mechanisms of 36 earthquakes(M_L ≥ 3.0)from Jun. 2005 to Dec. 2008 and CAP solutions of 58 earthquakes(M_L ≥ 4.0)collected and the solutions in the Global Centroid Moment Tensor(GCMT)catalog; We inverted local stress field of the reservoir-triggered earthquake clustering area, using 51 earthquakes(M_L ≥ 2.5)from Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2015. Focal mechanisms statistics show that, the Weixi-Qiaohou Fault is the seismic fault. Focal mechanisms were strike-slip type in initial stage, but normal fault type in later stage. Focal depths statistics of 51 earthquakes(M_L ≥ 2.5)show that, the average value of focal depths in period Ⅰ, period Ⅱ and period Ⅲ are 8.2km, 7.3km and 7.8km respectively and the standard deviations are 4.3km, 3.5km and 6.0km respectively. The average value of focal depths is basically stable in different period, only the standard deviation is slightly different. Therefore, there is not positive connection between focal depth and deviation of focal mechanisms. What's more, there are 2 earthquakes(number 46 and number 47 in Fig.5 and Table 3)with almost the same magnitude, epicenter and focal depth, but they have different faulting types as normal and strike-slip. The focal mechanism of event No.46 is strike:302°, dip:40° and rake:-97° for plane Ⅰ, however, the focal mechanism of event No.47 is strike:292°, dip:82° and rake:140° for plane Ⅰ. Likewise, earthquake of number 3 and number 18 have similar characteristic. Therefore, the obvious focal mechanism difference of similar earthquake pair indicates the complexity of Weixi-Qiaohou Fault. Considering the quiet-active character of reservoir-triggered earthquakes, we discussed the change of local stress field in different period. The σ₁ of tectonic stress field was in the near-south direction, with a dip angle of 14° before the impoundment, however, the direction of σ₁ of local stress field changed continuously, with the dip angle getting larger after the impoundment. The direction of σ₁ of local stress field of reservoir-triggered earthquake clustering area is close to the strike of Weixi-Qiaohou Fault, and reservoir impoundment increased the shear stress in the fault, so the weakening of fault was beneficial to trigger earthquakes. Comprehensive analysis suggests that fluid permeation and pore pressure diffusion caused by the water impounding, and the weakening of fault caused by local stress field are the key factors to trigger earthquake in the Xiaowan reservoir.  相似文献

武安绪  陈学忠  李艳娥 《地震》2019,39(1):146-154

强震的发生与地壳中应力增加有关。 库仑破裂应力被用于研究由于某次强震发生所产生的应力变化。 2010年智利莫尔M_W8.8地震发生之后, 其破裂区以南地区没有发生M≥6.0地震, 而在其以北地区于2015年在智利发生了伊亚佩尔M_W8.3级地震。 在这两个地区地震活动性悬殊。 本文利用库仑破裂应力研究了2010年智利莫尔M_W8.8地震在这两个地区产生的应力变化。 结果表明, 2010年智利莫尔M_W8.8地震在其破裂区以北地区产生的应力变化为正值, 有利于断层错动发震, 而在其破裂区以南地区产生的应力变化为负值, 具有抑制断层错动发震的作用。  相似文献

宋春燕  高荣  刘建明  刘萍  郭寅  温少妍 《中国地震》2019,35(2):256-268

2018年9月4日新疆伽师发生M_S5.5地震，震中处于塔里木地块西北缘，位于1997~1998年伽师强震群震区内。此次伽师地震前发生了M_S4.7前震，截至9月30日最大余震震级为M_S4.6（M_L5.0），初步判定为前-主-余型地震序列。序列精定位结果显示，余震沿近NE向展布，主震震源深度与1997~1998年伽师强震主震基本一致，发震断层陡立。本文从区域的构造环境、地震震源机制解和余震分布特征等方面分析认为，地震发生在伽师隐伏断裂东南端部，为1997~1998年伽师强震群震区的一次新的构造活动。序列参数、视应力等计算结果显示，伽师M_S5.5地震的预测最大余震震级与最大余震震级M_S4.6接近，表明序列最大余震已经发生。  相似文献   

2015年四川乐山金口河M5.0地震孕震构造条件分析     

宫悦  龙锋  梁明剑  易桂喜  王宇玺  格桑扎西 《中国地震》2019,35(3):445-454

2015年1月14日乐山金口河M5.0地震发生在历史地震强度较低的川南山区与四川盆地交界一带。基于四川区域地震台网的震相报告与波形资料，采用双差定位法对地震序列进行重新定位，同时，采用CAP波形反演方法及HASH方法反演了主震及序列中8次M_L≥2.0地震的震源机制解。另外，利用Coulomb3计算了主震发生后库仑应力改变量，得到的结果如下：①重新定位结果显示，金口河M5.0地震位于（103.18°E，29.32°N），震源深度16.6km，略深于波形反演结果（12km）。序列分布在NNW向天全-荥经断裂和NE向西河-美姑断裂的交汇部位，余震序列在空间上呈NE向展布。②M5.0主震的机制解为节面Ⅰ：走向350°/倾角46°/滑动角107°，节面Ⅱ：走向146°/倾角47°/滑动角73°，表现为走向NW（NNW）、中等倾角的逆冲型运动方式。序列中其余8次M_L≥2.0余震大多以走向NE的逆冲型地震为主，个别为走滑或正断层类型。主震和大部分余震的节面方向不一致，主震节面方向与余震长轴方向也不一致。③主震后库仑应力改变量显示，余震主要发生在主震引起的库仑破裂应力增加的区域。综合分析推测，NNW向天全-荥经断裂为本次地震主震的发震构造，倾向NE的机制解节面Ⅰ指出了该断裂的几何产状；M5.0主震发生后，立即触发了其旁侧的NE向西河-美姑断裂，并激发了多次余震。  相似文献   

首都圈东部地区震群序列性质判定   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

岳晓媛  武安绪  冯刚  马梁 《地震地磁观测与研究》2019,40(4):8-15

采用传统方法和数字地震学方法（视应力），对首都圈东部地区2009-2017年发生的震群序列性质进行分析，分析结果表明：①使用传统方法不能确定震群序列性质，可以利用视应力方法进一步分析，该方法能够反映每个震群应力场的变化特征，可以进行异常性质判别；②通过2种方法的对比分析，可以提高震群序列异常性质判定结果的科学性和可信度，为后续地震活动趋势提供有力的参考依据。对2种方法进行震例检验，可知后续地震一般为中等以上地震，在震群（具有异常性质）发生1-7个月后发震，发震位置在震源区附近。  相似文献

选取晋冀蒙交界地区固定和临时测震台网记录的2014-2016年地震波形资料，采用近震Brune模型，结合遗传算法，反演计算298次M_L ≥ 2.0中小地震视应力值，分析震源参数之间的标度关系，并按照震中分区，分析不同地区视应力时序变化特征及不同震级区间视应力空间分布特征，发现该区多处存在视应力高值现象，地震多发生于视应力高值异常及附近地区，与断裂带有一定对应关系。  相似文献
