Developing a global risk engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Risk analysis is a critical link in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment software.

Physics-Based Scenario of Earthquake Cycles on the Ventura Thrust System, California: The Effect of Variable Friction and Fault Geometry

open access: yesPure and Applied Geophysics, 2019
The Ventura Thrust system in California is capable of producing large magnitude earthquakes. Geological studies suggest that the fault geometry is complex, composed of multiple segments at different dips: thrust ramps dipping 30°–50° linked with bed ...

Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

Scenario-Based Risk Assessment of Earthquake Disaster Using Slope Displacement, PGA, and Population Density in the Guyuan Region, China

open access: yesISPRS Int. J. Geo Inf., 2019
Mega-earthquakes that occur in mountainous areas of densely populated cities are particularly catastrophic, triggering large landslides, destroying more buildings, and usually resulting in significant death tolls.

A perspective review of applications of the computed tomography (CT) scan imaging technique for microscopic reservoir rock characterization

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this review, the application of micro‐CT and medical‐CT scanning in the oil and gas industry has been thoroughly discussed. Recent improvements in DRP and modern imaging techniques in the oil and gas industry have been modeled using both experimental and simulation work.

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

open access: yesDeep 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 ...

Simulation of an 1857-like Mw 7.9 San Andreas Fault Earthquake and the Response of Tall Steel Moment Frame Buildings in Southern California – A Prototype Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In 1857, an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 occurred on the San Andreas fault, starting at Parkfield and rupturing in a southeasterly direction for more than 360 km.

Evaluation of the CO2 storage potential in CO2‐enhanced oil recovery: A case study of the Subei Basin, Jiangsu Province, China

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
CO2‐enhanced oil recovery (CO2‐EOR) is an economically viable carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technique that is widely practiced and contributes significantly to the achievement of carbon‐neutral cities. However, few studies have been conducted on CO2‐EOR source–sink matching involving different emission sources, different carbon ...
