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 ...

Mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock burst in coal seam mining beneath mountainous areas

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism of “seesaw‐type” rock bursts during coal mining beneath mountainous areas. The advancing working face induces nonuniform fracturing of the overburden. The detached mountain mass then undergoes a seesaw‐type rotational movement around a shifting pivot, driving the primary fracture through a characteristic “open‐close ...

DETERMINATION OF COORDINATES OF SEISMIC WAVE SOURCE BY AMPLITUDE METHOD OF PASSIVE LOCATION

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The paper presents results of the mathematical synthesis of the method of passive location of a seismic wave source. The method employs measurements of regular attenuation of seismic oscillation amplitudes.

World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

A high-resolution wide-angle seismic study of the crust beneath the Northumberland trough [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
In June 1987, during the BIRPS MOBIL normal-incidence seismic profiling programme, off the East coast of England, the University of Durham recorded simultaneously at several land based seismic stations in Northern England.

Earthquake Source Characterization Using 3D Numerical Modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
To understand the physics of earthquakes, it is important to know what happens during individual events. Dissembling the information about the source process from the recorded seismograms is a difficult and non-unique process, as there are severe trade ...

Modeling and monitoring injectivity evolution during cold CO2 injection with field evidence from aquistore carbon capture and storage operations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This work integrates 5 years of field data from the Aquistore CCS project with a non‐isothermal THM modeling framework to explain how cold CO2 injection alters injectivity over time. The study shows that sustained cooling near the wellbore reduces effective stresses, promotes tensile micro‑cracking, and leads to semi‑reversible permeability enhancement

New Approaches to Assess Seismic Monitoring Quality in Underground Mines: Data Completeness and Source Location Accuracy

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Accurate source locating and a complete data catalogue of the seismic network are the prerequisites for seismic analysis methods to identify coal burst risks. Comprehensively understanding the spatial characteristics of source location errors and seismic

The application of seismic surveys to the evaluation of shallow coal deposits [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The viability of using surface seismic techniques in the exploration of shallow coal deposits in the UK is investigated. The geological factors that affect the economic viability of a prospective site are the overburden ratio and the presence of faulting,
