Extreme behavior in a triple friction pendulum isolated frame          下载免费PDF全文

While isolation can provide significantly enhanced performance compared to fixed‐base counter parts in design level or even maximum considered level earthquakes, there is still uncertainty over the performance of isolation systems in extreme events. Researchers have looked at component level stability of rubber bearings and on the effect of moat impact on behavior of structures isolated on general bilinear isolators. However, testing of triple friction pendulum (TFP) sliding bearings has not been done dynamically or incorporated into a building system. Here, one‐third scale laboratory tests were conducted to on a 2‐story 2‐bay TFP‐isolated structure. Input motions were increasingly scaled until failure occurred at the isolation level. As the superstructure was designed with a yield force equivalent to the force of the bearing just at their ultimate displacement capacity, there was minimal yielding. A numerical model is presented to simulate the isolated building up to and including bearing failure. Forces transferred to the superstructure in extreme motions are examined using both experimental and numerical data. Additionally, the effect of the hardening stage of the TFP bearing is evaluated using the numerical model, finding slight benefits.  相似文献   

Evaluating suspended sediment and turbidity reduction projects in a glacially conditioned catchment through dynamic regression and fluvial process-based modelling     

Kezhen Wang  Dany Davis  Scott Steinschneider 《水文研究》2021,35(9):e14351

Elevated turbidity (T_n) and suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) during and following flood events can degrade water supply quality and aquatic ecosystem integrity. Streams draining glacially conditioned mountainous terrain, such as those in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, are particularly susceptible to high levels of T_n and SSC sourced from erosional contact with glacial-related sediment. This study forwards a novel approach to evaluate the effectiveness of stream restoration best management practices (BMPs) meant to reduce stream T_n and SSC, and demonstrates the approach within the Stony Clove sub-basin of the Catskills, a water supply source for New York City. The proposed approach is designed to isolate BMP effects from natural trends in T_n and SSC caused by trends in discharge and shifts in average T_n or SSC per unit discharge (Q) following large flood events. We develop Dynamic Linear Models (DLMs) to quantify how T_n-Q and SSC-Q relationships change over time at monitoring stations upstream and downstream of BMPs within the Stony Clove and in three other sub-basins without BMPs, providing observational evidence of BMP effectiveness. A process-based model, the River Erosion Model, is then developed to simulate natural, hydrology-driven SSC-Q dynamics in the Stony Clove sub-basin (absent of BMP effects). We use DLMs to compare the modelled and observed SSC-Q dynamics and isolate the influence of the BMPs. Results suggest that observed reductions in SSC and T_n in the Stony Clove sub-basin have been driven by a combination of declining streamflow and the installed BMPs, confirming the utility of the BMPs for the monitored hydrologic conditions.  相似文献   

The impact of extreme turbidity events on the nursery function of a temperate European estuary with regulated freshwater inflow     

E. González-Ortegón  M.D. Subida  J.A. Cuesta  A.M. Arias  C. Fernández-Delgado  P. Drake 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2010

Estuaries are used as nursery grounds by numerous marine species despite being usually subject to strong anthropogenic disturbances. Abundances of marine recruits (fish and crustacean decapods) and their main prey (mysids) were monitored by monthly sampling, from June 1997 to February 2009, in the lower reaches of the Guadalquivir estuary (SW Spain). During that period, unusually high and persistent turbidity events (HPTEs) were observed twice. Both HPTEs started with strong and sudden freshwater discharges after relatively long periods of very low freshwater inflow. Data from this time-series were used to test the hypothesis that HPTEs may negatively impact the nursery function of estuaries either by decreasing prey availability or by decreasing survival/arrival of marine recruits. During HPTEs, the commonest mysid (Mesopodopsis slabberi), a key species in the estuarine food web, showed a significant decrease in abundance. Likewise, some marine recruits that prey on M. slabberi and whose peaks of abundance within the estuary occur in summer–autumn (Engraulis encrasicolus and Pomadasys incisus) were less abundant during HPTEs. It is also suggested that HPTEs might have triggered a shift in the distribution of the most euryhaline prey (Neomysis integer) and predator (Dicentrarchus punctatus and Crangon crangon) species, towards more saline waters. This could have contributed to an increase in the inter-specific competition (for food/habitat) within the estuarine nursery area. The results discussed in this study call attention to the need to reduce as much as possible the anthropogenic pressures that may stimulate the occurrence of high and persistent turbidity events (HPTEs) in order to preserve the nursery function of temperate estuaries.  相似文献   

渤海海效应暴雪的三维热力结构特征   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

杨成芳 《中国海洋大学学报(自然科学版)》2010,40(2)

采用烟台多普勒天气雷达、天气图等观测资料和中尺度模式(RAMS4.4)进行数值模拟,分析了2008年12月4~6日发生的一次海效应暴雪的时空分布和三维热力结构特征。结果表明:(1)渤海海效应降雪并非传统认为的仅发生在蓬莱以东的山东半岛地区,而是广泛分布于山东半岛、莱州湾、渤海中东部和黄海西部洋面上;降雪源地有暖海面和陆地,即莱州湾、渤海中部至渤海海峡和山东半岛。(2)浅层对流是海效应降雪的重要热力特征,当强冷空气流经渤海时,暖海面通过湍流交换等作用向冷空气底层输送感热和潜热,使得低层增温增湿,产生对流层中上层干冷低层暖湿的对流性不稳定。(3)冷空气的强弱影响渤海暖海面及山东半岛地区的垂直热力结构,导致降雪强度在不同时段存在显著差异。海气温差与热通量成正比,初期冷空气弱,对流层中低层的垂直温差小,海面上空的暖湿层浅薄,不稳定能量弱,产生的降雪量小;中后期冷空气强盛,对流层中低层的垂直温差大,暖湿层较为深厚,不稳定能量增强,导致降雪强度和降雪量大。(4)与单一要素温度和湿度相比,对流层低层相当位温的水平分布对强降雪落区具有更好的指示意义,强降雪发生在高相当位温脊线附近。  相似文献

轩春怡  吴春艳  刘勇洪  舒文军 《大气科学学报》2022,45(5):791-800

基于风险矩阵理论,初步建立了重大活动气象风险评估方法与流程,并以北京某重大庆祝活动服务为例,在多部门联合共同确定活动期间气象风险源的基础上,利用长时间序列气象资料及短期测风雷达观测资料,分析了庆祝活动期间各类气象风险的可能性,结合对活动可能造成后果的严重程度,利用风险矩阵开展了气象风险评估及风险控制研究。评估结果表明,庆祝活动期间主要气象风险依次为降水/阴雨、白天大风、雾-霾、夜晚大风、高温、雷电、低温等7类。其中,降水/阴雨、白天大风、雾-霾为高风险,夜晚大风为中风险,其余均为低风险,根据评估结果建立的风险控制原则和具体措施成功应用于庆祝活动风险控制中。与现有气象业务服务中天气风险评估相比,本研究实现了重大活动气象风险评估由仅考虑高影响天气出现概率向基于影响的风险评估的转变。  相似文献   

关于复合型极端事件的新认识和启示          下载免费PDF全文

余荣  翟盘茂 《大气科学学报》2021,44(5):645-649

近年来,极端天气气候事件频繁发生,且常常表现为多种事件交织形成的复合型极端事件。为了更好地认识复合型极端事件,IPCC AR6基于现有的新证据评估了复合型极端事件的最新研究成果,并取得一些新认识：扩展了有关复合型极端事件的定义,重点围绕高温干旱复合型极端事件、复合洪水和野火,评估了复合型极端事件的变化特征,探讨了复合型极端事件多因子之间的依赖性,对人类活动的影响进行了归因分析并给出了未来可能的变化。这些评估结果丰富了对复合型极端事件的基本认识。但根据现有的评估可以发现,目前在复合型极端事件发生发展机理认识方面还存在不足;同时,未来仍需进一步完善跨学科跨部门跨区域研究,加强对复合型极端事件形成机理、预估及其对生态系统,经济社会影响风险的评估,提高对区域气候变化的适应能力。  相似文献   

Box-Cox正态转换在长江子流域极端降水气候事件判定中的应用     

吴瑶  杜良敏  刘长征  张俊 《湖北气象》2022,41(1):94-100

利用1961-2017年长江流域700个气象站点逐月降水资料计算长江流域9个子流域面雨量,采用基于Box-Cox正态分布转换后的百分位法对长江流域不同时间长度的极端降水气候事件阈值进行界定。结果表明,在数据序列长度发生变化的情况下,面雨量序列经Box-Cox正态转换后,计算得到的极端降水气候事件阈值的变化相较于常规百分位法明显减小,具有更为稳健的特性,从而使得相应极端降水气候事件个例的挑选更为稳定。根据该方法得到的阈值,对2018年汛期(6-8月)长江各子流域极端降水气候事件进行判定,岷沱江流域发生了极端多雨气候事件,而长江干流重庆-宜昌段、汉江及中游干流区间发生了极端少雨气候事件。  相似文献   

升温1.5℃和2.0℃情景下中亚地区干旱耕地暴露度研究     

王安乾  陶辉  方泽华 《气候变化研究进展》2022,18(6):695-706

基于CMIP5中的5个全球气候模式统计降尺度的降水、最高和最低气温等数据,利用标准降水蒸发指数（SPEI）和强度-面积-持续时间（IAD）方法识别全球升温1.5℃与2.0℃情景下中亚地区干旱事件,结合30 m分辨率土地利用数据,探讨中亚干旱事件的演变及耕地暴露度变化。结果表明：相比基准期（1986—2005年),中亚地区的降水和潜在蒸发量均有所增加;全球升温1.5℃与2.0℃情景下,中亚地区的干旱事件频次、强度和面积均将增加,其中重旱和极旱事件的频次和影响面积大幅上升,而中旱事件的频次和影响面积持续下降;1986—2005年中亚地区年均干旱耕地暴露度约11.5万km2,全球升温1.5℃和2.0℃情景下,干旱耕地暴露度将分别上升到17.9万km2和28.6万km2,且暴露在极旱下的耕地面积增加最明显。全球升温1.5℃与2.0℃情景下,增加的干旱事件将会严重威胁当地农业生产和粮食安全,中亚地区需对干旱事件采取长期的减缓与适应措施。  相似文献
