The Relationship of Small Earthquakes to Strain Accumulation Along Major Faults in Southern California [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Fault-plane solutions for recent small (ML ≤ 4.6) earthquakes in the central Transverse Ranges, California, were determined using an azimuthally-varying crustal model.

Using monitoring and simulation to analyze the failure characteristics of multizone landslides controlled by faults: a case study

open access: yesScientific Reports
Slopes influenced by multiple faults are prone to large-scale landslides triggered by multi-regional failures. Understanding the failure process and sequence is essential for the sustainable development of mining operations.

Constant Strain Rate Uniaxial Compression of Green Sandstone during SHPB Tests Driven by Pendulum Hammer

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2017
During the Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests driven by pendulum hammer, employing a proper special shape striker is an effective way to obtain dynamic stress equilibrium condition and to get constant strain rate of the rock specimen.

Fracture mechanics of volcanic eruptions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Seismology is a key tool in the forecasting of volcanic eruptions. The onset of an eruption is often preceded and accompanied by an increase in local seismic activity, driven by fracturing within the edifice.

Numerical and theoretical study of load transfer behavior during cascading pillar failure

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
To further study the load transfer mechanism of roof–multi-pillar–floor system during cascading pillar failure (CPF), numerical simulation and theoretical analysis were carried out to study the three CPF modes according to the previous experimental study

Risk assessment of open pit slope in cold regions based on Bayesian network

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Many large open pits are operated in cold regions, where the effect of freeze-thaw action may increase landslide risk. To improve the accuracy of risk assessment for the open pit slope in cold regions, this paper proposes a risk assessment method of rock

Monitoring of Anthropogenic Seismicity in Italy: State of the Art

open access: yes, 2018
In Italy the discussion about anthropogenic seismicity started after the deadly M6 Emilia earthquakes in 2012. Occurring these events in an area of gas and oil production, the question raised, whether exploitation induced crustal stress variations that ...
