Modeling afterslip and aftershocks following the 1992 Landers earthquake [PDF]
, 2007 One way to probe the rheology of the lithosphere and fault zones is to analyze the temporal evolution of deformation following a large earthquake. In such a case, the lithosphere responds to a known stress change that can be assessed from earthquake slip

Reducing Seismic and Traffic Loads Using Seismic Isolating Systems
Transportation Research Procedia, 2021 Abstract To reduce the effect of dynamic traffic and seismic loads, it is proposed to use a seismic insulating support, the contact surfaces of which are pasted over with a fluoroplastic film. The dry friction coefficient for a fluoroplastic pair is 0.03-0.05.

On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]
, 2016 The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...

CALCULATION OF SEISMICALLY LOADED EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 Eurocode 1998-5 for the design of earth retaining structures in seismic conditions describes calculations using the Mononobe-Okabe method. This simplified quasi-static procedure is to some extent very conservative. The article describes the limits of this method and brings out the comparison using theoretical numerical examples with other approaches ...

Interseismic strain accumulation: Spin-up, cycle invariance, and irregular rupture sequences [PDF]
, 2006 Using models of infinite length strike-slip faults in an elastic layer above linear viscoelastic regions, we investigate interseismic deformation. In the models we investigate, interseismic strain accumulation on mature faults is the result of the ...
