Active tectonics of the Himalaya

open access: yesJournal of Earth System Science, 1989
The Himalayan mountains are a product of the collision between India and Eurasia which began in the Eocene. In the early stage of continental collision the development of a suture zone between two colliding plates took place. The continued convergence is accommodated along the suture zone and in the back-arc region.

Shear behavior of bolt–grout interfaces under constant normal stiffness: Influence of grout strength and thickness

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The effects of grout strength and thickness on the shear behavior of bolt–grout interfaces (BGI) under constant normal stiffness conditions are investigated. Shear strength, failure modes, and acoustic emission characteristics are examined. The findings reveal that grout strength exerts a significantly greater influence on BGI shear strength and ...

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

Multi-field Coupling Early Warning of Climate-induced Cascading Landslide Hazards: The Likan Landslides in the Upper Yellow River, China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Under a sustained warming climate, reservoir‐area landslides exhibit increasingly complex, non-linear interactions. The cascade “climate or seasonal variability-soil rheology-vegetation response/feedback-impulse-wave risk” constitutes an emerging safety ...

Seismicity and regional tectonics of the Estremadura, Southwestern Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
The RESTE Project was an integrated geophysical-geological study of the Estremadura, southwestern Portugal. The core of the programme consisted of the acquisition and analysis of microearthquake data.

The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

Exercise in Active Tectonics: An Introduction to Earthquakes and Tectonic Geomorphology

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1996
What should undergraduate tectonics students know about earthquakes? The thesis of Exercises in Active Tectonics is that they ought to have some familiarity with quantitative methods for determining earthquake size, location, repeat time, and effect on structures.

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...
