Multi-disciplinary probabilistic tectonic hazard analysis

, 2009
Previous chapters have described how plate tectonics is the driving mechanism for tectonic hazards at the surface of the Earth. This chapter provides an overview of the methodologies being used today to quantify these hazards, describes some of the long ...

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

A Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis Method Incorporating Physics-Based Simulation and Ground Motion Prediction Equation

International Journal of Disaster Risk Science
The traditional approach to probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) relies on ground motion records, which restricts its application in regions with sparse seismic records or low seismicity.

The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...
