After theoretical analysis, numerical evaluation and practical test, the loading assistant closure method is employed in Edong Yangtze River Bridge. The loading assistant closure method, with better thermal adaptability and less influence on bridge line and the forced status, can meet the requirements of the unstressed state control method. Based on the mentioned advantages, the loading assistant closure method is applicable to long span hybrid girder cable stayed bridges. The conclusion can provide a reference for the further design of the similar brid^es.展开更多

The zircon U-Pb dating results yield a mean ^238U/^206pb age of 512.1 ± 1.5 Ma, representing an emplacement time of the plagiogranites in the Middle Cambrian. The plagiogranites are interpreted to have derived from anatexis of hydrated amphibolites by ductile shearing during transports of the oceanic crust. Thus it is believed that the formation age of such type of plagiogranite was coeval to or slightly younger than the spreading of the Hongliugou-Lapeiquan limited oceanic basin. The new results from the plagiogranites suggest that an oceanic basin existed in the northern Altyn area during the Middle Cambrian.展开更多

High pressure- high temperature studies on natural albite from the country rock gneiss were undertaken to reveal the--in parts----complex mineralogical changes that occur in the jadeite quartzite during prograde metamorphism. Experiments were conducted at 800- 1200~C, in the pressure range of 2.0-3.5 GPa. One of the most intriguing results shows that the low pressure boundary of the jadeite＋coesite stability field is located between about 3.2 GPa at 1000~C and 3.4 GPa at 1200~C, thus about （0.2-0.3）_＋0.1 GPa higher than the quartz-coesite transition curve, given the uncertainty in the present study. Minor amounts of sodium and aluminum entering the structure of quartz and the intimate intergrowth texture of the run products may contribute to the ob- served pressure shift. Combined petrological and mineralogical studies on the run products and the natural rocks yield the fol- lowing prograde reaction sequence to have occurred： The protolith of the jadeite- quartzite from Dabie Mountain is an albitized siltstone/greywacke characterized by an albite＋quartz assemblage. During prograde metamorphism albite breaks down to form jadeite＋quartz and thus at this stage two types of quartz can be distinguished whereas type-I-quartz already existed in the pro- tolith, type-II-quartz represents a newly formed reaction product of albite. During further P-T-increase the pure type- I-quartz was transformed to coesite, whereas type-II-quartz （together with jadeite） was still present as a stable phase because of its im- purities of Na and A1. At a later stage during further subduction, type-II-quartz also decomposes to form coesite. These studies represent an important puzzlement for a better understanding of the evolution of jadeite- quartzite from the Dabie Mountain during continental crust subduction and thus contribute to a more complete knowledge of the formation of the Dabie Mountain UHP orogenic belt in general.展开更多
