Footings under seismic loading: Analysis and design issues with emphasis on bridge foundations 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2
George Mylonakis Sissy Nikolaou George Gazetas 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2006,26(9):824-853
The paper provides state-of-the-art information on the following aspects of seismic analysis and design of spread footings supporting bridge piers: (1) obtaining the dynamic stiffness (“springs” and “dashpots”) of the foundation; (2) computing the kinematic response; (3) determining the conditions under which foundation–soil compliance must be incorporated in dynamic structural analysis; (4) assessing the importance of properly modeling the effect of embedment; (5) elucidating the conditions under which the effect of radiation damping is significant; (6) comparing the relative importance between kinematic and inertial response. The paper compiles an extensive set of graphs and tables for stiffness and damping in all modes of vibration (swaying, rocking, torsion), for a variety of soil conditions and foundation geometries. Simplified expressions for computing kinematic response (both in translation and rotation) are provided. Special issues such as presence of rock at shallow depths, the contribution of foundation sidewalls, soil inhomogeneity and inelasticity, are also discussed. The paper concludes with parametric studies on the seismic response of bridge bents on embedded footings in layered soil. Results are presented (in frequency and time domains) for accelerations and displacements of bridge and footing, while potential errors from some frequently employed simplifications are illustrated. 相似文献

We propose a decision-making approach for optimizing the profitability of hydrocarbon reservoirs. The proposed approach addresses
the overwhelming complexity of the overall optimization problem by suggesting an oilfield operations hierarchy that entails
different time scales. We discuss system identification, optimization, and control that are appropriate at various levels
of the hierarchy and capitalize on the abilities of permanently instrumented and remotely actuated fields. Optimization is
performed in real-time and is based on feedback. We provide details on real-time identification of hybrid models and their
use at the scheduling and supervisory control levels. Case studies using field-calibrated simulation data demonstrate the
applicability and value of the proposed approach. Directions for future development are given. 相似文献

Environmental isotopes in determining groundwater flow systems, northern part of Epirus, Greece 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
On the basis of the isotopic composition of water in the northern part of Epirus, Greece, from springs at different altitudes with well-defined recharge areas, the altitude effect on the δ18O value of groundwater is –0.142±0.003ö (100?m)–1 and is uniform over the entire study area. Using the δ18O composition of surface water and groundwaters, the contribution of Ioannina Lake and the channel draining the lake water to the Kalamas River to the recharge of springs and boreholes was confirmed and quantitatively defined. In contrast, the Voidomatis and Vikos Rivers are not sources for recharge of the big springs along their banks. However, water from the Aoos River does replenish the aquifer in the unconsolidated deposits underlying the plain of Konitsa. In addition, limestones of Senonian–Late Eocene ages, dolomites, and limestones of the "Vigles" facies are hydraulically interconnected, and the limestones of the "Pantokrator" facies are hydraulically isolated from the other carbonate formations. 相似文献

A new method is proposed for the quantitative interpretation of SP field data produced by a polarized ore body and simulated by an inclined sheet. The theoretical concept is based on the study of the amplitude Spectrum. It is shown that the SP amplitude Spectrum is not continuous at zero frequency; this leads to the dip angle determination of the inclined sheet. It is also shown that the SP amplitude spectrum is practically nullified at a characteristic amortization frequency that depends on the depth of the polarized body. The maximum amplitude Spectrum value of the SP gradient is used to estimate the depth to the bottom of the polarized body. Thus, the geometrical parameters h and H, the depths to the top and bottom, respectively, as well as the dip angle of the inclined sheet, can be satisfactorily determined. Some problems may arise in the determination of these parameters, affecting their accuracy, whenever unwanted frequency noise is present. 相似文献

The dynamic characteristics of two representative R/C bridges on Egnatia Odos motorway in Greece are estimated based on low
amplitude ambient and earthquake-induced vibrations. The present work outlines the instrumentation details, algorithms for
computing modal characteristics (modal frequencies, damping ratios and modeshapes), modal-based finite element model (FEM)
updating methods for estimating structural parameters, and numerical results for the modal and structural dynamic characteristics
of the two bridges based on ambient and earthquake induced vibrations. Transverse, bending and longitudinal modes are reliably
identified and stiffness-related properties of the piers, deck and elastomeric bearings of the FEMs of the two bridges are
estimated. Results provide qualitative and quantitative information on the dynamic behavior of the bridge systems and their
components under low-amplitude vibrations. Modeling assumptions are discussed based on the differences in the characteristics
identified from ambient and earthquake vibration measurements. The sources of the differences observed between the identified
modal and structural characteristics of the bridges and those predicted by FEMs used for design are investigated and properly
justified. 相似文献

We review the origin and evolution of the atmospheres of Earth, Venus and Mars from the time when their accreting bodies were released from the protoplanetary disk a few million years after the origin of the Sun. If the accreting planetary cores reached masses \(\ge 0.5 M_\mathrm{Earth}\) before the gas in the disk disappeared, primordial atmospheres consisting mainly of H\(_2\) form around the young planetary body, contrary to late-stage planet formation, where terrestrial planets accrete material after the nebula phase of the disk. The differences between these two scenarios are explored by investigating non-radiogenic atmospheric noble gas isotope anomalies observed on the three terrestrial planets. The role of the young Sun’s more efficient EUV radiation and of the plasma environment into the escape of early atmospheres is also addressed. We discuss the catastrophic outgassing of volatiles and the formation and cooling of steam atmospheres after the solidification of magma oceans and we describe the geochemical evidence for additional delivery of volatile-rich chondritic materials during the main stages of terrestrial planet formation. The evolution scenario of early Earth is then compared with the atmospheric evolution of planets where no active plate tectonics emerged like on Venus and Mars. We look at the diversity between early Earth, Venus and Mars, which is found to be related to their differing geochemical, geodynamical and geophysical conditions, including plate tectonics, crust and mantle oxidation processes and their involvement in degassing processes of secondary \(\hbox {N}_2\) atmospheres. The buildup of atmospheric \(\hbox {N}_2\), \(\hbox {O}_2\), and the role of greenhouse gases such as \(\hbox {CO}_2\) and \(\hbox {CH}_4\) to counter the Faint Young Sun Paradox (FYSP), when the earliest life forms on Earth originated until the Great Oxidation Event \(\approx \) 2.3 Gyr ago, are addressed. This review concludes with a discussion on the implications of understanding Earth’s geophysical and related atmospheric evolution in relation to the discovery of potential habitable terrestrial exoplanets. 相似文献
