Then, numerical modelling was established to further study the slope dynamic stability under purely microseisms and the influence of five factors, including seismic amplitude, slope height, slope angle, strata inclination and strata thickness, were considered. The experimental results show that the natural frequency of the slope decreases and damping ratio increases as the earthquake loading times increase. The dynamic strength reduction method is adopted for the stability evaluation of the bedding rock slope in numerical simulation, and the slope stability decreases with the increase of seismic amplitude, increase of slope height, reduction of strata thickness and increase of slope angle. The failure mode of a mid-dip bedding rock slope in the shaking table test is integral slipping along the bedding surface with dipping tensile cracks at the slope rear edge going through the bedding surfaces. In the numerical simulation, the long-term stability of a mid-dip bedding slope is worst under frequent microseisms and the slope is at risk of integral sliding instability, whereas the slope rock mass is more broken than shown in the shaking table test. The research results are of practical significance to better understand the formation mechanism of reservoir landslides and prevent future landslide disasters.展开更多

Energetic typhoons generate abundant surface wave signals, prompting growing interest in utilizing these signals to investigate subsurface structures. This study explores the feasibility and application of using microseisms excited by strong typhoons for F-J transform surface wave tomography. By analyzing microseisms recorded by a broadband seismic array in Mongolia during energetic typhoons, we observed multi-mode surface waves with high signal-to-noise ratios. Our analysis revealed that the sources of these waves closely correspond to typhoon tracks, confirming that they were primarily excited by typhoons. We successfully extracted multi-mode dispersion curves for imaging the V_(S) structure beneath the array using the F-J transform. Additionally, we derived multi-mode dispersion curves from a two-year noise dataset recorded by the same array, which were also used to invert for the V_(S) structure. Comparison of V_(S) models derived from typhoon-induced microseisms and the two-year noise dataset showed negligible differences within the depth range of 0–140 km. Our findings demonstrate the potential value of microseisms generated by energetic typhoons in precisely probing the V_(S)structure of the crust and uppermost mantle.展开更多

Coupled with wide fluctuation of water level each year, it becomes more important to study the deformation forecasting of landslides beside TGR. As a famous active landslide beside TGR, Huangtupo riverside landslide is selected for a case study. Based on long term water level fluctuation and seismic monitoring, three typical adverse conditions are determined. With the established 3D numerical landslide model, seepage-dynamic coupling calculation is conducted under the seismic intensity of V degree. Results are as follows: 1. the dynamic water pressure formed by water level fluctuation will intensify the deformation of landslide; 2. under seismic load, the dynamic hysteresis is significant in defective geological bodies, such as weak layer and slip zone soil, because of much higher damping ratios, the seismic accelerate would be amplified in these elements; 3. microseisms are not intense enough to cause the landslide instability suddenly, but long term deformation accumulation effect of landslide should be paid more attention; 4. in numerical simulation, the factors of unbalance force and excess pore pressure also can be used in forecasting deformation tendency of landslide.展开更多

For all recordings, the site effect parameters(predominant frequency(f_(0)), amplification factor and unconsolidated sediment thickness(UST)) are obtained by Nakamura method and the DF spectra are classified into five groups in terms of the DF peak patterns and the recording locations relative to the coastline. The frequencies and energy levels of the DF peaks in horizontal direction and the amplification factors are associated with the UST which is resulted from seismic site effect. By polarization analysis, the primary vibration directions of the DF peaks are identified and presented as great circles passing through the recording stations intersecting mainly along the continental slope. Correlation analyses of time histories of the DF energy and the ocean wave climate observed at buoys show that the low(<0.2 Hz) and high(>0.2 Hz) frequency DF microseisms are generated in the deep ocean and the continental shelf respectively. It is concluded that the continental slope plays a significant role in the generation of DF microseisms as it causes reflection of waves from the open ocean, initiating standing waves.展开更多

From the basic equations of ideal and incompressible fluid a set of perturbation equations up to second order had been derived and solved. The pressure variation in the flow field had been calculated using the explicit solutions obtained, and which demonstrated a clear relation between the atmospheric pressure and the one at the bottom of deep ocean. It can be seen that there is a part of the pressure variation which is not attenuating with the depth. The result had been compared with those of Longuet-Higgins and Kadota et al. and all previous results are contained in the solution given in this artice. The restriction on the previous works with regard to the probability law has been removed, and all conclusions are deduced without specific assumptions. The flexibility of the proposed model allows for further generalization and extension in the physical aspects and statistical treatment.展开更多

When the surface waves have nearly equal frequencies and nearly opposite directions, a second-order pressure can be felt all the way to the sea bottom. There are at least two areas of applications: reflective structures and microseisms. Microseisms generated by water waves in the ocean are small vibrations of the ground resulting from pressure oscillations associated with the coupling of ocean surface gravity waves and the sea floor. They are recorded on land-based seismic stations throughout the world and they are divided into primary and secondary types, as a function of spectral content. Secondary microseisms are generated by the interaction of surface waves with nearly equal frequencies and nearly opposite directions. The efficiency of microseism generation thus depends in part on ocean wave frequency and direction. Based on the second-order expressions for the dynamic pressure, a simple theoretical analysis that quantifies the degree of nearness in amplitude, frequency, and incidence angle, which must be reached to observe the phenomenon, is presented.展开更多

In order to verify and test this phenomenon,a real-time tracking technical system was established by using continuous waveform records of more than 200 wide-band digital seismic stations in regional networks such as Gansu,Qinghai,Sichuan,Yunnan and Tibet.Through real-time tracking and dynamic monitoring of 24 earthquakes with M≥5. 0 occurring in the Qinghai-Tibetan block during the period of 2012-2014 and the observations of stations in some non-seismic areas,the reproducibility and objectivity of the impending earthquake phenomenon were verified. The main characteristics of the microseismic fluctuation phenomena immediately preceding the strong earthquakes are as follows:(1)the spectrum range is wider,the dominant frequency is 11-16 Hz,and the spectrum shape is more regular;(2)it appears 6-24 days before the earthquake,averaging about 15 days;(3)it is possible to be recorded by the stations within the epicenter distance of 50 km,and the stations with the epicenter distance of more than 50 km generally cannot record it;(4)this phenomenon is directional,i. e. the direction in which the activity degree,N-value,varies significantly may be related to the location of the seismic source,the seismogenic fault and the distribution of aftershocks of the strong earthquake. The preliminary study shows that the impending-earthquakes microseismic phenomena may be related to the pre-activity,micro-vibration and micro-rupture in the source region in the imminent stage,or the microactivity and micro-rupture associated with the active tectonics.展开更多

According to the time intervals technique we obtain the different coefficients and then add the correlative coefficients. Depending on this, we extract the group velocity of Rayleigh waves from the cross correlation of the ambient seismic noise between two seismic stations and figure out the group velocity' spatial distribution. The results show that the signal noise ratio (SNR) increases proportionally to the superposition times, but the results from different days are similar to one another. Synchronously, the arrival-time is also stable and there is no obvious change when coming across typhoons. It is found the velocity of the surface wave is 2.9~3.1km/s in Fujian Province, which is close to the observationally attained value.展开更多

Comparison of V_(S) models derived from typhoon-induced microseisms and the two-year noise dataset showed negligible differences within the depth range of 0–140 km. Our findings demonstrate the potential value of microseisms generated by energetic typhoons in precisely probing the V_(S)structure of the crust and uppermost mantle.
文摘Evaluating the seismic site effect by the ambient noise based horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio(HVSR)method is strongly affected by the spatial and temporal variations of the ambient noise sources.Therefore,it is necessary to locate the source regions of ambient noise and investigate the relationships between the source energy and HVSR values at the predominant frequency(HVSRf_(0))of the site.The generation mechanisms of the single-and double-frequency microseisms(SFMs,0.05-0.085 Hz and DFMs,0.1-0.5 Hz)in ambient noise are better understood than the noise in other frequency bands and they are dominantly composed of fundamental Rayleigh(Rg)waves.With this advantage,the recordings of SFMs and DFMs at 30 stations in the east coast region of the United States are used to demonstrate a study on locating their source regions with reasonable certainty and constructing the functional relationship between the HVSRf_(0) and the source energy of SFMs and DFMs.The recordings are processed in four sub-frequency bands(Fs)of SF and DF bands and a polarization analysis is carried out to select the ellipsoids approximating the particle motions of Rg waves.Then the probability density functions of the back azimuths of the ellipsoids’semi-major axes are computed for each F and station,and are projected on the ocean to determine their possible source regions.These regions are further constrained by(1)the correlation coefficients between the SFMs and the WAVEWATCHⅢ(WWⅢ)hindcasts of ocean wave spectra in the SF band,or between the DFMs and the modeled DF energy on ocean surface in the selected time windows in the DF band,(2)the energy contribution defined by(i)the average WWⅢocean wave energy and the ocean bottom topographical gradient in the SF band,or(ii)the average modeled DF energy on ocean surface and a frequency and water depth dependent coefficient measuring the conversion efficiency of DF energy from water to solid earth in the DF band,and(3)the percentile retained energy of Rg waves in both the SF and DF bands.Results of source regions reveal that(1)the SFMs recorded in eastern US result from the interactions of low frequency(0.05-0.085 Hz)ocean waves with the continental slope and shelf of western North Atlantic Ocean;(2)the source regions for long-(0.1-0.2 Hz)period DFMs are located in the deep ocean close to the continental slope;and(3)the short-(0.2–0.5 Hz)period DFMs are generated in the continental shelf.Finally,the correlation analyses between the simulated source energy and the HVSRf_(0) values at the stations whose f_(0) s fall in DF band are carried out revealing significant source effect on thick sediments at low frequencies.

文摘This study presents a systematic analysis of double-frequency(DF) microseisms recorded on the unconsolidated sediments in the eastern and southeastern coasts of United States. For all recordings, the site effect parameters(predominant frequency(f_(0)), amplification factor and unconsolidated sediment thickness(UST)) are obtained by Nakamura method and the DF spectra are classified into five groups in terms of the DF peak patterns and the recording locations relative to the coastline. The frequencies and energy levels of the DF peaks in horizontal direction and the amplification factors are associated with the UST which is resulted from seismic site effect. By polarization analysis, the primary vibration directions of the DF peaks are identified and presented as great circles passing through the recording stations intersecting mainly along the continental slope. Correlation analyses of time histories of the DF energy and the ocean wave climate observed at buoys show that the low(<0.2 Hz) and high(>0.2 Hz) frequency DF microseisms are generated in the deep ocean and the continental shelf respectively. It is concluded that the continental slope plays a significant role in the generation of DF microseisms as it causes reflection of waves from the open ocean, initiating standing waves.

文摘Based on repeated comparison studies of broadband digital seismic records before the Wenchuan MS8. 0,Yushu MS7. 1 and Qingchuan MS5. 4 earthquakes,the possible microseismic fluctuations before impending earthquakes were preliminarily identified. In order to verify and test this phenomenon,a real-time tracking technical system was established by using continuous waveform records of more than 200 wide-band digital seismic stations in regional networks such as Gansu,Qinghai,Sichuan,Yunnan and Tibet.Through real-time tracking and dynamic monitoring of 24 earthquakes with M≥5. 0 occurring in the Qinghai-Tibetan block during the period of 2012-2014 and the observations of stations in some non-seismic areas,the reproducibility and objectivity of the impending earthquake phenomenon were verified. The main characteristics of the microseismic fluctuation phenomena immediately preceding the strong earthquakes are as follows:(1)the spectrum range is wider,the dominant frequency is 11-16 Hz,and the spectrum shape is more regular;(2)it appears 6-24 days before the earthquake,averaging about 15 days;(3)it is possible to be recorded by the stations within the epicenter distance of 50 km,and the stations with the epicenter distance of more than 50 km generally cannot record it;(4)this phenomenon is directional,i. e. the direction in which the activity degree,N-value,varies significantly may be related to the location of the seismic source,the seismogenic fault and the distribution of aftershocks of the strong earthquake. The preliminary study shows that the impending-earthquakes microseismic phenomena may be related to the pre-activity,micro-vibration and micro-rupture in the source region in the imminent stage,or the microactivity and micro-rupture associated with the active tectonics.
文摘Proceeding from the statement about presence of the normal resilient medium in the cosmic space, the author concludes seismic nature of tides and a number of other aspects of this phenomenon. The analysis of contradiction of the theory of tsunami to empiric facts led the author to conclude that the tsunami are forced and not free waves, and that the key moment in their distribution is the seismic compression of water.

文摘This paper uses the 8 broad-band stations' microseism data recorded by the Seismic Monitoring Network of Fujian Province to calculate the vertical correlation coefficient between two stations at intervals of 5 minutes. According to the time intervals technique we obtain the different coefficients and then add the correlative coefficients. Depending on this, we extract the group velocity of Rayleigh waves from the cross correlation of the ambient seismic noise between two seismic stations and figure out the group velocity' spatial distribution. The results show that the signal noise ratio (SNR) increases proportionally to the superposition times, but the results from different days are similar to one another. Synchronously, the arrival-time is also stable and there is no obvious change when coming across typhoons. It is found the velocity of the surface wave is 2.9~3.1km/s in Fujian Province, which is close to the observationally attained value.
