The Relationship

when the ballast track stretch with the bridge, ballast which is near expansion joint will move confusedly. As a result, rail produced vertical deformation. The deformation will affect the running safety and comfortability of train. At present, there are two kinds of treatments which are cover board structure and baffle structure to deal ballast’s movement. Aiming at the different modes of stretching when the two kinds of structures and different arrangement condition of bridge plate are applied, the rail-sleeper-ballast discrete element model is developed by the method of two-dimensional granular flow. The relationship between rail deformation and bridge expansion is analyzed on the foundation of the model. Results show as flows: when bridge extends or shortens, rail always produced upwarp deformation. Bridge plate should arrange asymmetrically. Like this, the rail deformation decrease by 40%. And adopting the baffle structure can effectively reduce the influence of bridge expansion in ballast truck.

The Relationship

This study uses a test section of a highway, a study object, to explore the effect of thickness of the gravel base and asphalt layer on the vertical deformation of the road surface. The thickness of the asphalt layer and graded gravel base is changed. The nonlinear description equation of the relationship between the thickness (h1) of the asphalt layer and the vertical deformation (d1) is established: d1=a41−b4h1. The thickness of the asphalt pavement is then determined to reduce vertical deformation. Numerical calculation shows that the maximum vertical deformation of the foundation is within 8 mm, which is less than the 15 mm maximum vertical deformation of the embankment. This level meets the design requirements.

Abstract. In the Aguascalientes valley, middle Mexico, the demand of groundwater from the local aquifer system was suddenly increased after the late 1970s. Since then, several related problems have been occurring or become critical such as land subsidence, ground fissuring, and low-magnitude earthquakes. The most recent data of vertical deformation from PSInSAR, groundwater levels, and earthquakes, has provided critical information regarding the relationship amongst all these processes. In particular, that related to land subsidence, earth fissuring and seismicity. Regarding this, more satellite imagery and data from GPS stations are being revised as a possibility of a more generalized vertical deformation derived with low-magnitude seismicity. A particular seismic event recorded on 6 April 2019 has revealed critical information on the close association between vertical displacements occurred in active faults and low-magnitude seismic events.

Sangihe Islands is one of the districts located in the border region of the Republic of Indonesia precisely located in North Sulawesi Province which borders with the Philippines. Sangihe subduction zone is a subduction between the Sangihe plate and the Maluku sea plate. (Di Leo, et al., 2012). This situation causes the Sangihe Islands region to be very prone to earthquake and others disasters, so mitigation efforts are needed to minimize casualties and losses in other material forms. One of these efforts is mapping the potential of earthquakes through Geodynamic studies which are represented at the point of deformation control. This study is using four times GNSS observations epoch 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 tied to ITRF 2014. The data used for 3D deformation analysis with the multiepoch method to calculate the movement speed of the Sangihe plate and simultaneous tectonic plate strain observation. The results of this study are the coordinates and accuracy values of monitoring point also the plate movement speed and annual tectonic plate strain values. The movement speed of the Sangihe plate is SGH1 point is having horizontal deformation of 9.88 mm / year to the southeast and vertical deformation descend by 58.66 mm/year. SGH3 point is having horizontal deformation of 12.74 mm/year to the southeast and vertical deformation descend by 18.51 mm/year. SGH4 point is having horizontal deformation of 19.04 mm/year to the southeast and vertical deformation descend by 5.27 mm/ year. This research also proves the hypothesis of a change in the volume of the Sangihe Islands tectonic plate based on the values of normal strain parameters and shear strain in the fraction of 10-6 to 10-4 strains.

Abstract Postearthquake changes in elevation across the Tujunga segment of the San Fernando fault in the period March 1971 to 1973-1974 indicate deformation similar in distribution to, but on a much smaller scale than, the coseismic deformation (the maximum postearthquake uplift is about 60 mm compared to the 2 m of coseismic uplift). The postearthquake elevation change just east of the 1971 rupture is a nearly uniform increase in elevation to the north that reaches about 60 mm at the end of the profile. The postearthquake elevation change across the Sylmar segment of the San Fernando fault is more subdued and apparently in the opposite sense from the coseismic deformation; it may be due to local compaction. The horizontal deformation observed in the period August 1971 to March 1973 across a geodimeter network that spans the San Fernando fault is minor (displacement not more than 10 mm). If the explanation of the observed vertical deformation across the Tujunga segment of the fault is indeed afterslip, the deformation must have occurred chiefly in the period March to August 1971.
