Analyse pétrophysique et anisotropie de roches détritiques dans des systèmes compressifs en présence de failles actives : exemple des prismes de Taiwan et de Nankai / Petrophysics of sedimentary rocks in compressive regime near active faults : examples of the Taiwan and Nankai accretionary prisms

Humbert, Fabien 22 October 2010 (has links)
Analyse pétrophysique et anisotropie des roches détritiques dans des systèmes en compression et sous influence de failles actives : Exemple des prismes de Taiwan et du prisme de Nankai (Japon)L'objectif de cette thèse est l'étude de la déformation enregistrée par des roches d'origine détritique dans des domaines sujets au raccourcissement tectonique sub-horizontal (Layer Parallel Shortening) et à des failles actives. Cette étude est basée sur la caractérisation de diverses propriétés physiques et de leur anisotropie à l'échelle de l'échantillon dans le but de décrire à plus grande échelle la structure d'un prisme d'accrétion. Deux prismes ont ainsi été échantillonnés, le premier est le prisme inactif de Taiwan dans le cadre du projet TCDP et le second considéré comme actif celui de Nankai dans le cadre du projet NanTroSeiZE. La microstructure d'une roche sédimentaire, y compris en l'absence de déformation tectonique, présente toujours une ou plusieurs caractéristique(s) anisotrope(s) liée(s) à la forme, à l'orientation préférentielle ou à l'arrangement de ses éléments constitutifs. De nombreux travaux ont porté sur les conséquences de ces anisotropies sur les propriétés physiques, d'abord dans un but prédictif, puis selon une démarche inverse visant à caractériser, à l'aide de modèles, microstructures et histoire tectonique associée. Dans cette thèse la confrontation des résultats obtenus pour différentes propriétés physiques (principalement vitesses des ondes acoustiques, susceptibilité magnétique et aimantation rémanente) met en évidence des réponses sélectives liées à un fort contrôle de la lithologie.Au niveau de prisme de Taiwan, deux résultats majeurs ont été obtenus. D'une part, la comparaison des anisotropies magnétiques et acoustiques a permis de montrer une évolution différentielle de la déformation entre les roches riches en matrice (siltite) par et celles plus riches en grain sableux (grès). D'autre part, les résultats combinés de l'anisotropie des ondes P, l'étude microstructurale et la minéralogie magnétique, montrent un comportement particulier des échantillons situé dans le mur de la faille FZB1136, considérée comme responsables du séisme de Chi-Chi en 1999. Un réseau de structures dilatantes fortement perméable à permis la circulation de fluides, de néo-cristallisation de calcite et de néoformation de minéraux magnétique. Sur le prisme de Nankai, une estimation de la quantification de la déformation enregistrée par les échantillons du prisme est modélisée en utilisant le modèle de March et les paramètres de susceptibilité magnétique. Les différents travaux réalisés dans cette thèse mettent en évidence un couplage direct de certaines propriétés physiques mesurées avec certains effets de déformation, chaque propriété caractérisant un point précis de la fabrique enregistré dans les roches.Mots-clefs : Anisotropie, susceptibilité magnétique, vitesses d'ondes ultrasoniques, déformation, fabrique, microstructures, faille inverse, TCDP, NanTroSeiZE. / Petrophysics of sedimentary rocks in compressive regime near active faults: examples of the Taiwan and Nankai accretionary prismsThe objective of this PhD is to study the deformation recorded by detrital rocks in areas subject to sub-horizontal tectonic shortening (Layer Parallel Shortening) and active faults. This study is based on the characterization of various physical properties and their anisotropy at sample scale in order to describe larger-scale structure of an accretionary prism. Two prisms have been sampled, the first is the inactive in Taiwan prism (TCDP project) and the second active the Nankai prism (NanTroSeiZE project).Sedimentary rocks microstructures, regardless of the degree to which they were loaded tectonically, always present some anisotropic characteristic emerging from a preferential shape, orientation or distribution of its constituents. Numerous studies have focused on the effect of such anisotropies on physical properties, first for prediction purposes, then to conversely get diffuse strain insight through the use of various effective medium models. In this thesis, the comparison between results obtained in discrete samples for various physical properties (essentially acoustic wave velocities, magnetic susceptibility and remanent magnetization) reveals selective responses due to a strong lithologic control.In TCDP, two significant results are reported. On the one hand, comparison of magnetic and acoustic anisotropy showed a differential evolution of deformation between the matrix-rich rocks (siltstones) and those with coarser granular fraction (sandstone). On the other hand, the combined results of the anisotropy of P waves velocity, microstructural analysis and magnetic mineralogy, show a peculiar behavior of the samples located in the wall of the fault FZB1136, considered to be responsible of the Chi-Chi earthquake in 1999. A network of highly permeable dilatant structures allowed the circulation of fluids, neo-crystallization of calcite and neoformation of magnetic minerals. On the Nankai prism, an estimate of quantifying the deformation recorded by the samples of the prism is modeled using a simple March-type model and the parameters of magnetic susceptibility. The various work in this thesis show a direct coupling of physical properties measured with some aspect of deformation, each property characterizing a specific point of the fabric recorded in rocks.Keywords : Anisotropy, magnetic susceptibility, ultrasonic wave velocity, strain, fabric, microstructures, thrust fault, TCDP, NanTroSeiZE.

Geophysical Imaging and Numerical Modelling of Fractures in Concrete

Katsaga, Tatyana 13 August 2010 (has links)
The goal of this research is to investigate the fundamentals of fracturing processes in heterogeneous materials such as concrete using geophysical methods and dynamic micromechanical models. This work describes how different aspects of fracture formation in concrete can be investigated using a combination of Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques, ultrasonic wave velocity imaging, and high resolution Computed Tomography (CT). Fracture formation and evolution were studied during shear failure of large reinforced concrete beams and compressive failure of concrete samples. AE analysis includes studying complex spatial and temporal fracture development that precedes shear failure. Predominant microcrack mechanisms were analyzed at different stages of fracture formation. CT images were used to investigate the influence of concrete microstructure on fracture topography. Combined AE and CT damage evaluation techniques revealed different aspects of fracture development, thus expanding our understanding of AE events and their mechanisms. These images show how aggregate particles influence fracture nucleation and development. An emphasis has been placed on the role of coarse aggregates during the interlocking of fracture surfaces at transferring shear stresses. Ultrasonic wave velocity and AE techniques have been applied to uniaxial compression tests of concrete with various aggregate sizes and strengths similar to that of the concrete beams. AE parameters, p-wave velocities, and stress-strain data have been analyzed concurrently to image damage evolution under compression. Influence of material composition on microcracking and material state changes during loading has been investigated in detail. The results of compressive tests were used as building blocks for developing realistic micromechanical numerical models of concrete. The models were designed using a distinct element code, where material is modelled through the combination of bonded particles. A number of procedures were developed to transfer the exact microstructure of material incorporating its visual representation into the model. The models’ behaviour has been verified against experimental data. It was shown that these models exhibit realistic micromechanical behaviour. The results of the experimental investigation of concrete fracturing were expanded by modelling more cases with aggregate size and strength variations. It was shown that geophysical imaging techniques, along with advanced micromechanical numerical modelling, can help us understand damage formation and evolution.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Trinca_AlexJulio_M.pdf: 4149749 bytes, checksum: 34fcccdf02d4f1b0b171e121e4eb5ac3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: é praticamente toda exportada em sua forma in natura sem que a ela seja agregado valor de beneficiamento. Um dos problemas enfrentados pela indústria moveleira é o fato da madeira não ser submetida à classificação, dificultando a elaboração de projetos e a certificação da qualidade do móvel confeccionado a partir deste material. Nesse contexto as empresas moveleiras brasileiras buscam parâmetros para composição e certificação de seu produto, sendo atualmente a norma brasileira ¿Projeto de Estruturas de Madeira¿ ¿ NBR 7190/97, o único instrumento norteador para a caracterização de propriedades da madeira. No entanto, nesse setor as dificuldades para a obtenção de corpos-de-prova nas dimensões especificadas por esse texto normativo têm gerado dúvidas quanto aos resultados de caracterização de propriedades, de maneira que este trabalho teve como objetivo principal verificar se os valores do módulo de elasticidade e da tensão de ruptura no ensaio de compressão paralela às fibras podem ser considerados estatisticamente equivalentes, desde que sejam mantidas a proporcionalidade da dimensão do corpo-de-prova. Para isso adotou-se, como alternativa ao corpo-de-prova proposto pela NBR 7190/97, a dimensão 0,03 m x 0,03 m x 0,09 m. Os ensaios foram realizados utilizando-se 7 diferentes espécies de madeira com densidades variadas, buscando-se, com essa amostragem, a generalização dos resultados. Como objetivo secundário se buscou avaliar a influência das dimensões do corpo-de-prova e da freqüência do transdutor na velocidade de propagação de ondas de ultra-som na direção longitudinal. As espécies adotadas foram: Cerejeira (Torresea sp), Perobinha (Paratecoma peroba) , Cabreúva-vermelha (Myroxylon peruiferum), Angico-preto (Anadenanthera macrocarpa), Garapeira (Apuleia leiocarpa), Eucalipto grandis ( Eucalyptus grandis) e Pinus elliotti (Pinus elliottii). Todos os corpos-de-prova foram ensaiados com aproximadamente 12% de umidade e os ensaios foram realizados em ambiente controlado (21° C ± 1°C). Os resultados permitiram concluir que a hipótese foi verdadeira para todas as espécies estudadas quando se considera a tensão de ruptura / Abstract: Most of the exported wood in Brazil is unprocessed, without any aggregated value. To change this scenario technology for wood processing and qualification are required. One of the problems faced by the furniture industry refers to the non classification of the wood, which cause difficulties to projects elaboration and quality certification of the furniture made from this material. In this context the Brazilian Industries of furniture seek for parameters to certificate its products, and the NBR 7190/97 standard ¿Project of Structures of Wood " is, nowadays, the only instrument for the characterization of wood properties. However, for the furniture industry it is very difficult to obtaining the dimensions specified by the standard. This research had as main objective to verify if the means values of the modulus of elasticity and rupture in compression parallel to the grain can be considerate statistically equal, when smaller specimen are used, if the proportionality is maintained. For that it was adopted, as alternative to the specimen proposed by NBR 7190/97, the dimension 0.03 x 0.03 x 0.09 m. For the experiments there were used 7 different species with varied densities. The secondary objective was to evaluate the influence of the specimen size and of the transducer frequency in the speed of ultrasound wave propagation in the longitudinal direction. The adopted species were: Cerejeira (Amburana cearensis), Perobinha (Paratecoma peroba), Cabreúva vermelha (Myroxylon peruiferum), Angico-preto (Anadenanthera macrocarpa), Garapeira (Apulleia leiocarpa), Eucalyptus grandis, (Eucalyptus grandis) and Pinus ellioti (Pinus elliottii). All specimens were tested with approximately 12% moisture content and were accomplished in controlled atmosphere (21° C ± 1°C). The results allowed concluding that the hypothesis was true for all the studied species when the rupture in compression parallel to the grain was considered. For the module of elasticity this hypothesis was not confirmed for two species, from the seven evaluated (garapeira e eucalipto). Although, the mean difference between the results obtained in the tests using both specimens size was 10%, smaller then the maximum allowed variability in mechanical tests (18%). For the ultrasonic velocity propagation four species did not presents statistical variation with the modification of the size of the specimens - cerejeira, garapeira, pinus and eucalyptus while for the perobinha, angico and cabreúva the ultrasonic wave velocity propagation could not be considered statistically equal when the dimension of the specimens was modify. On average (considering all the studied species) the relationship among the ultrasonic wave velocity propagation (VLL) in normalized specimen and in proposed specimen was 0.99, being respectively the maximum and the lower relationships of 1.02 and 0.93. The velocity of wave propagation presents larger variations for values of length of wave percolation/wave length (L/?) up to 3, being more constant above that limit. It was also possible to verify, for the studied species, that the velocity of wave propagation increases with the increase of the transducer frequency. Key words: modulus of elasticity of wood; compression strength parallel to the fiber; ultrasonic wave velocity; dynamic constant / Mestrado / Construções Rurais e Ambiencia / Mestre em Engenharia Agrícola
