Developing a model of evacuation after an earthquake in Lebanon [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 This article describes the development of an agent-based model (AMEL, Agent-based Model for Earthquake evacuation in Lebanon) that aims at simulating the movement of pedestrians shortly after an earthquake. The GAMA platform was chosen to implement the model.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The mechanical characteristics of three different types of sandstones under high stress levels are studied. The degree of fragmentation of specimens increases with the applied stress level. The acoustic emission counting of different types of sandstones presents three stages: weakening, stabilizing, and surging.

Dynamic bedrock channel width during knickpoint retreat enhances undercutting of coupled hillslopes
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 15, Page 3629-3640, December 2022., 2022 The graphical abstract shows images of analogue flume experiments that highlight the width narrowing process during knickpoint retreat, and the cartoon figure shows the response of adjoining hillslopes. Abstract Mountain landscapes respond to transient tectonic and climate forcing through a bottom‐up response of enhanced bedrock river incision that ...

Seismic performance of concrete tunnel–sand–pile interaction by the shake table test
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This research presents the square root sum of squares response of displacements and tunnel moments under the Kobe and Loma Prieta seismic excitations with a peak ground acceleration of 0.05 g for various dry relative densities of local sand in Bangladesh.

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 215-229, January 2023., 2023 This paper uses a numerical landscape evolution model to reconstruct the topographic history of Madagascar since the Late Cretaceous. The model is optimised by balancing the volumes of onshore erosion and offshore sedimentation; the former is predicted with erosion laws and based on uplift history inferred from elevated planation surfaces.

A review of multiscale numerical modeling of rock mechanics and rock engineering
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Multiscale numerical methods of rock mechanics and rock engineering are reviewed, and the review results show that more attention should be paid to the development of an advanced constitutive model in addition to numerical techniques themselves. Abstract Rock is geometrically and mechanically multiscale in nature, and the traditional phenomenological ...

Geostatistical modeling to capture seismic-shaking patterns from earthquake-induced landslides [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper, we investigate earthquake-induced landslides using a geostatistical model that includes a latent spatial effect (LSE). The LSE represents the spatially structured residuals in the data, which are complementary to the information carried by the covariates.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

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