Structural health monitoring of high voltage electrical switch ceramic insulators in seismic areas [PDF]

, 2014
High voltage electrical switches are crucial components to restart rapidly the electrical network right after an earthquake. But there currently exists no automatic procedure to check if these ceramic insulators have suffered after an earthquake, and ...

Analysis of Tunnel Lining Damage Characteristics Under the Combined Actions of Fault Dislocation and Seismic Action

Applied Sciences
Tunnels crossing active faults frequently experience simultaneous exposure to fault dislocation and seismic action during operation. To study the damage behavior of tunnels under the combined effects of fault dislocation and seismic action, a three ...

INFLUENCE OF STRAINING BEAMS ON THE SEISMIC FRAGILITY OF DOUBLE-COLUMN BRIDGE PIERS [PDF]

Civil Engineering Journal, 2019
The piers of girder bridges have a very important role on the safety of the structural system to earthquakes. This paper addresses the seismic fragility of double-column (DC) bridge piers by focusing on the influence of the straining beams and the ...

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

The use of continuum models for analyzing adobe structures [PDF]

, 2012
As it is known, the adobe structures have a high seismic vulnerability principally due to the low material strength and sometimes due to the inadequate structural configuration.

Fluid‐induced slip on a rate‐and‐state fault during co‐ and post‐injection: The interplay of fluid pressure diffusion and poroelastic stress

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Fault slip can occur ahead of the injection pressure front due to poroelastic stress. Our model captures the interaction of pressure, stress, and friction, providing new insights into injection‐induced seismicity and post‐injection fault slip. Shut‐in operations can either mitigate or accelerate seismic events depending on fault conditions and ...

Investigation on the failure evolution characteristics of surrounding rock in deep cross‐fault roadway: Based on physical model test and numerical simulation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study reveals the failure evolution characteristics of deep cross‐fault roadway surrounding rock under excavation support and periodic weighting. Periodic weighting readily induces fault activation, with the spatial distribution of failed rock masses being controlled by the fault strike and dip.
