Seismic Damage to Structures in the 2015 Nepal Earthquake Sequences

The 7.8 Mw Gorkha earthquake struck the east of Lamjung in Nepal, followed by a sequence of powerful aftershocks. Chinese Team Six including the authors inspected the seismic damage to civil structures along 10 paths in densely populated areas with a seismic intensity of VII to IX, 40 days after the main shock. The damage was categorized according to structure types and described in detail. Several conclusions are made: powerful aftershocks can significantly affect the failure patterns; geological conditions, structure types, and height have great influence on the level of damage; and the local risky retrofitting technique needs improvement badly.

唐、宋时期甘肃茶马互市与茶马古道

从汉代的丝绸之路到唐宋时期的茶马古道,古代甘肃在各个民族之间的贸易交往中具有得天独厚的便利条件。唐宋时期的茶马贸易,主要在甘肃地区与藏族之间进行。本文在前人研究的基础上,对唐、宋时期甘肃境内茶马互市的基本情形、形成原因以及茶马古道在甘肃境内的线路问题进行了论述。     

明代云南地区的饮食习俗

饮食的构成和方式是文化的重要部分。云南在建设民族文化大省和旅游大省的过程中,应该对云南各民族的饮食传统进行系统的研究,发现其中有用的成分,为今天的社会服务。本文对明代云南各民族的饮食习俗略作论述,并希望今后有更多的研究者关心这类问题。明代云南各民族已普遍以农作物为主食。滇西北普米族、藏族、纳西族以及滇中、滇东彝族地区畜牧业发达,肉类是其食物的重要补充,滇南、滇西南哈尼族、彝族、傣族、蒲人、佤族等居住地区植被丰富,狩猎和采集所得亦构成食物来源的重要部分。由于明代云南各民族生计活动的综合性,因而他们的食物种…

1954年河南省会由汴迁郑的历史考察

1954年10月,河南省会由开封迁至郑州。省会迁移的原因既有地理环境及交通条件的因素,也有经济及政治因素,而郑州由于位置适中、交通便利、经济发展前景良好以及便于领导全省工作等优势,使它取代了开封的省会地位。从1951年河南省会初步获准迁至郑州,到1952年正式确定迁移,再到1954年基本完成迁移,广大干部群众做了大量卓有成效的工作,省会迁移对河南省以及郑州、开封两市都产生了重大而深远的影响。     

帕米尔高原上的"太阳部落"--新疆塔吉克族人生活探秘

据《大唐西域记》记载,新疆帕米尔高原上曾有一个神秘的偈盘陀王国。国力最盛时,它管辖12座城,偈盘陀王曾远征北印度的咀叉始罗国,并大胜而归。其实现在的塔吉克族,就是他们的后裔。因山高路险,地处帕米尔高原上的偏僻之地,据说这里的塔吉克人如今仍过着夜不闭户、路不拾遗的“桃花源”似的生活,并被称做“太阳部落”。     

『来宝』:三川土族的民间傩舞

Seismic evidence for fluid migration pathways from an overpressured system in the South China Sea

Overpressured systems and intense, anomalously hot fluid expulsion in the Yinggehai Basin of the South China Sea offer an opportunity to understand the history of fluid flow and the process of hydrocarbon accumulation in overpressured environments. Fluid migration pathways from overpressured compartments in the basin are largely controlled by the distribution of faults and fractures. Episodic opening of these faults are related to the dynamics of an overpressured system and tectonic movements during basin evolution. At the crests of diapiric structures, fluid expulsion is seismically imaged as chimney‐ or plume‐like features, low to middle seismic amplitudes, and intermittently chaotic and blank reflecting seismic facies. These fluid pathways are controlled by vertical faults, which commonly penetrate overpressured and overlying normally pressured zones. Fluid expulsion is also observed near the main faults, such as the No. 1 Fault at the north‐eastern margin of the basin. Investigation by sidescan sonar on onshore and offshore Hainan Island indicates that there are more than 100 gas seepages adjacent to the No. 1 Fault. Migration pathways in the diapiric structures are controlled by three types of fault and fracture. Penetrative faults formed by dextral strike‐slip movement of the Red River faults commonly occur in the centre of the diapirs, and may have been a triggering factor for the diapirism, and controlled their distribution. Hydrofractures occur in certain mud‐rich layers and may have been generated by hydraulic fracturing. Radial normal faults occur at the top of diapirs and were formed by the intrusive process. These fluid migration pathways played an important role in regional hydrocarbon accumulation.
