Towards using seismic anisotropy to interpret ductile deformation in mafic lower crust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The lower crust forms an important geodynamic control in continental tectonics and the communication and coupling of kinematics between surface and deep-Earth processes.

Seismic anisotropy in siliciclastic reservoir rocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The interpretation of geophysical field measurements of seismic anisotropy is presently limited by our knowledge of the controls of the elastic anisotropy of sedimentary rocks in the subsurface. Traditionally, laboratory ultrasonic velocity measurements

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

Regional Seismic Wavefield Propagation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Through the examination of local and regional seismic waveform data the crust and upper mantle of southern California are investigated. Using local and regional seismic phases such as Pn, Sn, PL, and surface waves, seismic wave velocities of interesting

Simplified Calculation Method for Seismic Active Earth Pressure of Translational Retaining Wall considering Soil Arching Effect

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2021
At present, most seismic earth pressure theories have the limitations of complex derivation process and difficult solution. To solve these problems, considering the deflection of small principal stress caused by soil arching effect, the central arc soil ...

Heliogeodynamics and seismicity in Pribaikalie

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018
The field of earthquake epicentres of Pribaikalie (Russia) is reconstructed from the data of historical and instrumental monitoring of earthquakes. The analysis shows that seismic events in the study area are distributed irregularly in space and time ...

Post-seismic relaxation from geodetic and seismic data

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2017
We have examined the aftershock sequence and the post-seismic deformation process of the Parkfield earthquake (2004, M = 6, California, USA) source area using GPS data.

A Method to Avoid Underestimated Risks in Seismic SUPSA and MUPSA for Nuclear Power Plants Caused by Partitioning Events

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Seismic probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) models for nuclear power plants (NPPs) have many non-rare events whose failure probabilities are proportional to the seismic ground acceleration.

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Retrofitted Bridge by Isolation Bearings

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2009
The seismic performance evaluation and retrofit process are very important in existing bridges. If the result is not appropriate, then retrofit process are required.

Swedish National Seismic Network

open access: yes, 1904
The Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) started with the installation of a Wiechert seismograph in Uppsala in 1904. Since 1998 the SNSN is a part of the Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University.
