Erratum to Dynamic Stresses, Coulomb Failure, and Remote Triggering
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2009Figure 13h on page 84 in Hill (2008) illustrating the triggering potential of Rayleigh waves with strike-normal incidence on reverse faults at a depth of 10 km is incorrect. The corrected version of Figure 13 is reproduced here. The correction involves exchanging the stress orbits on the left-hand side of the Mohr’s circle in Figure 13h with those on ...

Fault Interaction in Alaska: Static Coulomb Stress Transfer
2013Between 1938 and 2002, most ofthe known major active fault segments in southern Alaska with estimated recurrence intervals of less than 700 years have ruptured. Static (coseismic) Coulomb stress transfer has been modeled from the nine largest (M ≥ 7.5) of these earthquakes. Stresses transferred from these sources, ranging from less than 0.001 MPa (0.01

Coulomb stress changes: From earthquakes to underground excavation failures
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2009Abstract Evidence from shallow tunnels and mines indicates that, in certain cases, deformation and failure are not confined to the vicinity of the excavation front, as is widely believed. This situation has recently been described as lateral strain propagation from a “source” to remote parts of the excavation through low-strength rocks.

Earthquakes and Coulomb stress evolution in a diffuse plate boundary
2016Diffuse plate boundaries are characterized by deformation distributed over a wide area in a complex network of active faults, and by low strain rates. These characteristics make it difficult to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of seismicity. The northern Basin and Range Province (BRP) in the western United States is an excellent example

Elastic Coulomb Stress Transfer during Injection Induced Seismicity
Proceedings, 2018Determining the dominant physical processes occurring during injection-related fault activation is a vital component in the monitoring and mitigation strategies employed by numerous industries. Fluid processes (pore-pressure changes, poroelastic effects) are significant, though some recent studies have shown that stress interactions due to elastic ...

The Tidal Coulomb Failure Stresses on Various Kinds of Seismic Fault
Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2011AbstractThe tidal Coulomb failure stresses (TCFS) on various kinds of seismic faults are calculated and their latitudinal variation characters are studied. We compute tidal Coulomb failure stresses at shock‐occurring times on 20395 earthquake faults and analyze the latitudinal distribution of various kinds of real seismic faults that are slip ...

Fault interactions and Coulomb stress-triggering in complex fault networks
Earthquakes on normal faults cause negative Coulomb stress transfer (CST) onto receiver faults located across-strike, which, in theory, delays or prevents rupture. Nevertheless, earthquakes on such across-strike faults are frequently observed. This study explores why, and how, large earthquakes can be triggered on faults repeatedly receiving negative ...Manuel Diercks +6 more

Mohr-Coulomb Failure Criterion Expressed in Terms of Stress Invariants
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1998A polynomial expression for the Mohr-Coulomb criterion for failure of brittle or frictional materials in terms of stress invariants is derived. The form of the polynomial expression corresponds to the pyramidal shape of the failure surface in principal stress space. The pressure-sensitive character of the failure of a Mohr-Coulomb material is indicated

Earthquake growth inhibited at higher Coulomb stress rate at Groningen.
Gas extraction from the Groningen gas field resulted in significant induced seismicity. We analyze the magnitude-frequency distribution of these earthquakes in space, time and in view of stress changes calculated based on gas production and reservoir properties.Yuri Tamama +3 more
