Experimental study on the damage characteristics of cyclic disturbance and acoustic emission characteristics of different types of sandstones under high stress in deep mines

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The mechanical characteristics of three different types of sandstones under high stress levels are studied. The degree of fragmentation of specimens increases with the applied stress level. The acoustic emission counting of different types of sandstones presents three stages: weakening, stabilizing, and surging.

Post‐earthquake estimates of different ground motion intensity measures for the 2012 Emilia earthquake

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 183-203, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Estimates of the earthquake ground motion intensity over a geographical area have multiple uses, that is, emergency management, civil protection and seismic fragility assessment. In particular, with reference to fragility assessment, it is of interest to have estimates of the values of different ground‐motion intensity measures in order to ...

The sedimentary legacy of a palaeo-ice stream on the shelf of the southern Bellingshausen Sea: Clues to West Antarctic glacial history during the Late Quaternary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A major trough ("Belgica Trough") eroded by a palaeo-ice stream crosses the continental shelf of the southern Bellingshausen Sea (West Antarctica) and is associated with a trough mouth fan ("Belgica TMF") on the adjacent continental slope.

Damage evolution of surrounding sandstone rock under charging–discharging cyclic loading in the natural gas storage of abandoned mines based on the discrete element method

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study established a true triaxial numerical model of rock mass with the discrete element method and explored the crack evolution of surrounding rock of underground roadway gas storage during cyclic loading and unloading and the damage numerical model considering residual deformation.

Site Characterization Using Integrated Imaging Analysis Methods on Satellite Data of the Islamabad, Pakistan, Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We develop an integrated digital imaging analysis approach to produce a first-approximation site characterization map for Islamabad, Pakistan, based on remote-sensing data. We apply both pixel-based and object-oriented digital imaging analysis methods to

Study on the variation of the permeability coefficient of soil–rock mixtures in fault zones under different stress states

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A study is carried out on the variation of the permeability coefficient of soil–rock mixtures in fault zones under different stress states. Abstract As the first gold mine discovered at the sea in China and the only coastal gold mine currently mined there, Sanshandao Gold Mine faces unique challenges.

The Non-Organic Theory of the Genesis of Petroleum [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 1996
Recent advances in interdisciplinary fields as diverse as astrophysics, cosmogeophysics, nuclear geology, etc. have led to interesting developments in the non-organic theory of the genesis of petroleum. This theory, which holds that petroleum is of an abiogenic primordial origin, provides an explanation for certain features of petroleum geology that ...
