Abstract in order to study the influence of ground fissures on the construction of expressway, a ground fissure (F1) with a strike of NE20∼45° and length of 120km in Yunnan Province is selected as the research object. The FLAC3D numerical software is used to study the characteristics of displacement and stress. The results show that: (1)

Recent Crustal Deformation in West-Central South America [PDF]
I use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to create maps of crustal deformation along the coast and within the volcanic arc of central South America. I image deformation associated with six subduction zone earthquakes, four volcanic centers,

Using Space Geodesy to Constrain Variations in Seismogenic Behavior on Subduction Megathrusts [PDF]
The concept of seismogenic asperities and aseismic barriers has become a useful paradigm within which to understand the seismogenic behavior of major faults.

Measuring and Modeling Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Lithosphere with Application to the Northern Volcanic Zone, Iceland [PDF]
Viscoelastic relaxation of the stress perturbation caused by an earthquake or diking event can produce measurable ground deformation over 100 km away from the source. We consider the role of viscoelastic relaxation in two different contexts.

To investigate the ground deformation induced by the variation of excess/insufficient support pressure in water-rich sandy soil, a series of centrifuge tests in tunnels located at cover over diameter (C/D) ratios equal to 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 were carried ...
