The detrimental effects of an earthquake are strongly influenced by the response of soils subjected to dynamic loading. The behavior of soils under dynamic loading is governed by the dynamic soil properties such as shear wave velocity, damping characteristics and shear modulus. Worldwide, it is a common practice to obtain shear wave velocity (V s in m/s) using the correlation with field standard penetration test (SPT) N values in the absence of sophisticated dynamic field test data. In this paper, a similar but modified advanced approach has been proposed for a major metro city of eastern India, i.e., Kolkata city (latitudes 22°20′N–23°00′N and longitudes 88°04′E–88°33′E), to obtain shear wave velocity profile and soil site classification using regression and sensitivity analyses. Extensive geotechnical borehole data from 434 boreholes located across 75 sites in the city area of 185 km2 and laboratory test data providing information on the thickness of subsoil strata, SPT N values, consistency indices and percentage of fines are collected and analyzed thoroughly. A correlation between shear wave velocity (V s) and SPT N value for various soil profiles of Kolkata city has been established by using power model of nonlinear regression analysis and compared with existing correlations for other Indian cities. The present correlations, having regression coefficients (R 2) in excess of 0.96, indicated good prediction capability. Sensitivity analysis predicts that significant influence of soil type exists in determining V s values, for example, typical silty sand shows 30.4 % increase in magnitude of V s as compared to silt of Kolkata city. Moreover, the soil site classification shows Class D and Class E category of soil that exists typically in Kolkata city as per NEHRP (Recommended provisions for seismic regulations for new buildings and other structures—Part 1: Provisions. Prepared by the Building Seismic Safety Council for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Report FEMA 450), Washington, DC, 2003) guidelines and thereby highlighting the seismic vulnerability of the city. The results presented in this study can be utilized for seismic microzonation, ground response analysis and hazard assessment for Kolkata city.

It has the following three five-phase points: 1) one occurring at Fo9Di49Lc42 and 1005 ± 5 °C, where liquid and vapour coexists with forsteritess, phlogopitess and diopsidess (phlogopite-bearing madupite), 2) the second one at Fo4Di50Lc46 and 990 ± 10 °C, where diopsidess, K-feldsparss and phlogopitess coexist with liquid and vapour (pyroxene-bearing minette), and 3) the third one at Fo3Di21Lc76 and 775 ± 5 °C, where phlogopitess, kalsilitess and K-feldsparss are in equilibrium with liquid plus vapour (kalsilite-bearing minette).
The experimental results of the join Fo–Lc–åkermanite (Ak) show that the join 40 penetrates the primary phase volumes of forsteritess, phlogopitess, kalsilite, K-feldsparss, diopsidess and merwinitess. The data indicate the presence of four five-phase points: 1) one occurring at Fo7Lc42Ak51 and 1165 ± 5 °C, where phlogopitess, forsteritess, diopsidess coexists with liquid and vapour (olivine-bearing madupite), 2) the second one at Fo3Lc49Ak48 and 1140 ± 10 °C, where a liquid is in equilibrium with phlogopitess, K-feldsparss, diopsidess and vapour (pyroxene-bearing minette), 3) the third one at Fo18Lc21Ak61 and 1255 ± 10 °C, where merwinitess, forsteritess and diopsidess are in equilibrium with liquid and vapour (merwinite-bearing wherlite), and 4) the fourth one at Fo5Lc73.5Ak21.5 and 770 ± 5 °C, where kalsilitess, phlogopitess and K-feldspar coexist with liquid and vapour (kalsilite-bearing minette). The present data suggest that high pressure heteromorphic equivalent of a katungite magma is represented by a kalsilite-bearing minette, a pyroxene-bearing minette, or an olivine-bearing madupite. 相似文献
