Experimental analysis of progressive failure behavior of rock tunnel with a fault zone using non-contact DIC technique

, 2020
Geological discontinuities govern the strength and deformation of rock mass and play an important role in the stability of geotechnical excavations, such as tunnels, caverns, slopes, and mines.

Fault zone fabric and fault weakness

Nature, 2009
Geological and geophysical evidence suggests that some crustal faults are weak compared to laboratory measurements of frictional strength. Explanations for fault weakness include the presence of weak minerals, high fluid pressures within the fault core and dynamic processes such as normal stress reduction, acoustic fluidization or extreme weakening at ...

A 3D numerical model to determine suitable reinforcement strategies for passing TBM through a fault zone, a case study: Safaroud water transmission tunnel, Iran

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2019
Mechanized tunneling, like other tunneling methods, is not an exception to dealing with complex geological structures in its direction. Therefore, the accurate perception of the geological structures and anomalous through the tunnel path and the ...

Architecture, stress state and permeability of a fault zone in Jiulishan coal mine, China: Implication for coal and gas outbursts

International Journal of Coal Geology, 2018
The Mafangquan (MFQ) fault zone, transecting a coal seam in Jiulishan coal mine in Jiaozuo coalfield, Henan Province, China, was investigated in detail in view of coal mining safety, including its architecture, stress and permeability features and ...

Structural damage assessment of mountain tunnels in fault fracture zone subjected to multiple strike-slip fault movement

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2020
Fault fracture zones are adverse geological conditions often encountered in the constructions of mountain tunnels. Extensive structural damage to the mountain tunnels in adjacent to the fault fracture zones has been documented in the past earthquakes. In

A dynamic modelling method of a rotor-roller bearing-housing system with a localized fault including the additional excitation zone

, 2020
Rotor-roller bearing-housing systems (RBHSs) are widely utilized in many industrial machinery, such as aero-engines, high speed trains, wind turbine, etc.

Discontinuous fault zones

Journal of Structural Geology, 1987
Abstract Many tectonic faults and tension fractures are, at least initially, composed of separate segments. This note deals with a little explored reason for this phenomenon which, in faulting, has obvious implications both for the migration of hydrocarbons and for the sealing capacity of faults. Theoretical arguments based on CoulombMohr's theory of

Granular Packings and Fault Zones

Physical Review Letters, 2000
The failure of a two-dimensional packing of elastic grains is analyzed using a numerical model. The packing fails through formation of shear bands or faults. During failure there is a separation of the system into two grain-packing states. In a shear band, local "rotating bearings" are spontaneously formed.

Facies Modelling in Fault Zones

ECMOR X - 10th European Conference on the Mathematics of Oil Recovery, 2006
Traditionally fault impact on fluid flow is included by assigning transmissibility multipliers to flow simulation grid cell faces co-located with the fault plane (Manzocchi et al. 1999). A new method, called Fault Facies modelling (Tveranger et al. 2004, 2005), captures fault impact by considering faults as deformed rock volumes rather than simple ...

Flow Through Inhomogeneous Fault Zones

Proceedings of SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2007
Abstract Faults significantly influence fluid flow in reservoirs. In standard reservoir flow-simulator grids, faults are represented as surfaces or planes. However, outcrop studies show that faults often must be regarded as volumetric elements.
