Active tectonics in Sabah – seismicity and active faults

open access: yes, 2017
The location of Sabah near the boundaries of three major tectonic plates, the Eurasian, India-Australia and Philippine-Pacific plates, makes it prone to seismic activities. Sabah is currently under a WNW-ESE compressive stress regime due to the effect of

Mechanism and disaster control new technology of strong ground pressure manifestation in ultra‐large mining face

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In response to the problem of strong mining pressure manifestation along the goaf roadway in a thick coal seam mining area, this study uses a new type of combined blasting roof cutting technology to effectively control the manifestation and deformation of mining pressure along the goaf roadway.

Active Tectonics and Alluvial Rivers [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2002
Flying into San Francisco, California, for the AGU Fall Meeting from the east coast of the United States, one sees an ever‐changing pattern of rivers below. From straight channels, the rivers take on a meandering pattern, become braided, and form oxbow lakes.

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Reevaluating historical tsunami hazards from the Makran subduction zone and local seismic sources along the Western Indian margin through numerical modelling

open access: yesGeoscience Letters
The western coast of India is highly vulnerable to tsunami hazards due to its geographical proximity to the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ), one of the most seismically active margins of the northern Indian Ocean.

Seismic analysis and design of tunnels within fault ground: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The research methods of seismic response of tunnels within fault ground, including field investigations, analytical solutions, physical experiments, and numerical simulations, and seismic countermeasures are discussed. The present study examines the shortcomings and limitations of the current research and design, and puts forward proposals for future ...

Active tectonics in the Kenya Rift

open access: yes, 2022
Magmatische und tektonisch aktive Grabenzonen (Rifts) stellen die Vorstufen entstehender Plattengrenzen dar. Diese sich spreizenden tektonischen Provinzen zeichnen sich durch allgegenwärtige Abschiebungen aus, und die räumliche Verteilung, die Geometrie, und das Alter dieser Abschiebungen lässt Rückschlüsse auf die räumlichen und zeitlichen ...

Unveiling spatial heterogeneity in urban underground space development patterns and mechanisms for differentiated planning: A points of interest‐based study of Shanghai

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigated the spatial patterns and development mechanisms of urban underground space (UUS) in Shanghai using underground points of interest data. It revealed distinct development mechanisms between the main city and suburbs, highlighting the need for differentiated UUS planning and policies to optimize underground space resources ...

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.
