EMD-based random decrement technique for modal parameter identification of an existing railway bridge

Vibrational measurement data are often nonstationary and modal parameter identification based on these data is of practical value for structural health monitoring and condition assessment. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is a most recent tool for analysis of nonstationary signals. An EMD-based random decrement (RD) technique is presented to identify modal parameters from monitoring vibrational data. The nonstationary measurement data are first decomposed into a series of quasi-stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by EMD. The RD technique is then applied to the selected IMFs to obtain the free-decay response. The modal frequencies and damping ratios are finally identified from the free-decay response by minimizing the error between the measured free-decay responses and the predicted responses from a parametric model. The present method is applied to extract the modal parameters of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge from the measured responses. The identification result is compared to those from finite element analysis as well as from the experimental result identified with the peak-picking (PP) method. In addition, the modal frequencies of the bridge loaded with heavy trains are also identified and compared to the ‘empty’ bridge. The EMD-based random decrement (RD) technique provides an effective and promising tool for modal parameter identification for large bridges and other structures.

Decomposition of belowground litter and metal dynamics in salt marshes (Tagus Estuary, Portugal)

The concentrations of C, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd were determined monthly in decomposing roots of Halimione portulacoides, using litterbag experiments, in two salt marshes of the Tagus estuary with different levels of contamination. Although carbon concentrations varied within a narrow interval during the experiment, litter decomposed rapidly in the first month (weight loss between 0.051 and 0.065 g d(-1)). The time variation of metals was examined in terms of Me/C ratios and metal stocks. Ratios of Fe/C and Mn/C and their metal stocks increased in spring, presumably due to the precipitation of oxides in the surface of decomposing roots. Subsequent decrease of Fe/C and Mn/C ratios suggests the use of Fe and Mn oxides, as electron acceptors, in the organic matter oxidation. Zinc, Cu, Pb and Cd ratios to C were, in general, higher than at initial conditions implying that metal that leached out was slower than carbon. However, metal stocks decreased during the experiment indicating that incorporation or sorption of metals in Fe and Mn oxides did not counterbalance the amount of Zn, Pb and Cd released from decomposing litter. An exception was observed for Cu, since stock in the less contaminated marsh (Pancas) increased during the decomposition, indicating that litter was efficient on Cu binding under more oxidising conditions. These results emphasize the importance of litter decomposition and sediment characteristics on metal cycling in salt marshes.     

Land management as a factor controlling dissolved organic carbon release from upland peat soils 2: Changes in DOC productivity over four decades

Increasing DOC concentrations in surface waters have been observed across parts of Europe and North America over the past few decades. Most proposed explanations for these widespread trends invoke climate change or reductions in sulphate deposition. However, these factors do not seem apposite to explain either the fine-scale (within kilometres) or regional-scale spatial variation in DOC concentrations observed across the UK.We have reconstructed DOC concentrations and land use for one North Pennine and five South Pennine catchments (UK), located in three discrete areas, over the last four decades. Rainfall, temperature and sulphate deposition data, where available, were also collated and the potential influence of these factors on surface water DOC concentrations was assessed.Four of the six catchments examined showed highly significant (p < 0.001) increases (53-92%) in humic coloured DOC (hDOC) concentrations in drainage waters over the period 1990-2005. Changes in temperature and sulphate deposition may explain 20-30% of this trend in these four catchments. However, the rapid expansion of new moorland burn on blanket peat can explain a far greater degree (> 80%) of the change in hDOC. Far smaller increases in hDOC (10-18%) were identified for the two remaining catchments. These two sites experienced similar changes in sulphur deposition and temperature to those that had seen largest increases in DOC, but contained little or no moorland burn management on blanket peat.This study shows that regional-scale factors undoubtedly underlie some of the recent observed increases in drainage humic coloured DOC. However, changes in land management, in this case the extensive use of fire management on blanket peat, are a far more important driver of increased hDOC release from upland catchments in some parts of the UK. It suggests that the recent rapid increase in the use of burning on blanket peat moorland has implications for ecosystem services and carbon budgets.
