Using Passing Trains as Seismic Sources for Refraction Microtremor Site Characterisation Surveys: Rugeley, Staffordshire, UK

Iraqi Geological Journal, 2023
Microtremor seismic surveys are routinely used to provide shear wave velocities that are converted to soil stiffness site profiles. In this paper, we look to assess the feasibility of using trains as seismic sources to characterize near-surface ...

Connecting shear localization with the long-range correlated polarized stress fields in granular materials

Nature Communications, 2020
Understanding the behavior of jammed granular matter is important for a range of phenomena, from materials science to geology. Wang et al. uncover relations between stress correlations and emergence of localized shear bands due to external shear stress ...

Assessing the liquefaction potential of seabed soils based on ocean ambient noise in the Yellow River Delta

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Seabed soils can undergo liquefaction under cyclic loading, resulting in a rapid decrease in strength and stiffness, which may lead to the destruction of offshore structures.
