Assessment of Relative Active Tectonics in the Bozgoush Basin (SW of Caspian Sea)

, 2017
Geomorphic indices are useful tools for studying relative active tectonics of a specific area. In this study, the relative active tectonics of Bozgoush region (NW of Iran) has been investigated based on Geomorphic indices.

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Slit tube responses and rock fracture characteristics in slit charge blasting under high in situ stress

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this article, the finite element method‐smoothed particle hydrodynamics adaptive coupling algorithm is applied to numerically simulate and analyze the dynamic response of the slit tube and the crack propagation under high in situ stress. The dynamic response of the slit tube mainly exhibits radial response in the vertical direction of the slit and ...

Debris flow susceptibility in the Jinsha River Basin, China: a Bayesian assessment framework based on geomorphodynamic parameters [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
A major challenge in assessing debris-flow susceptibility at the scale of large mountainous river basins lies in the excessive reliance on simplified topographic metrics. Existing approaches often fail to account for the cascading and dynamically coupled

Experimental and constitutive modeling investigations on marble in Jinping Underground Laboratory

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The objective of this study is to reveal the underlying mechanisms behind the brittle‐ductile transition of the marble through a combination of experimental research and constitutive modeling. A series of triaxial compression and triaxial cyclic loading tests are conducted.

Active Tectonics of the Pyrenees: A review

Journal of Iberian Geology, 2012
The Pyrenees have experienced at least seven earthquakes with magnitude M > 5 in the last 400 years. During the last decades, several seismotectonic, neotectonic and paleoseismological studies have focused on identifying the main active structures of the areas experiencing damaging earthquakes.

ACTIVE TECTONICS IN THE HELLENIC VOLCANIC ARC: THE KOLUMBO SUBMARINE VOLCANIC ZONE

, 2017
This paper studies the rupture system of the Anydhros Basin, northeast of Thera island, and its re-lationship to the submarine volcanic activity along the Kolumbo line. Anydhros Basin is a N45 o Etrending elongate basin bounded by the Ios-Fault-Zone (IFZ)

Strain‐based modeling and analysis for rock blasting and geomechanics applications

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a novel strain‐based modeling approach for blasting and geomechanical applications, using measurable variables like particle velocity, strain, and displacement. By bypassing complex constitutive relations, strain‐based models capture critical blasting trends and full‐blast design parameters with minimal calibration.
