Instability mechanism and failure characteristics of underground cavern in block system under the action of seismic waves

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Seismic waves with tensile stress, high amplitude, and low frequency are most likely to trigger block instability and sliding. Blocks with a single sliding surface are more prone to movement than those with multiple constraints, and roof‐positioned blocks are especially vulnerable to slide.

Constrained gravity inversion unravels the Moho depth and tectonic patterns in China and its adjacent areas

Earth and Planetary Physics
The Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho) boundary separating the Earth’s crust and mantle reflects the evolutionary trajectory of the Earth’s crust, yielding crucial insights into crustal formation, tectonic evolution, and profound dynamic processes. However,

The tectonic evolution of Antarctica

, 2019
Five tectonic provinces; three volcanic provinces (each characteristic of a particular set of tectonic conditions) and a Precambrian shield, are outlined and described, in an attempt to illustrate the tectonic evolution of Antarctica.

Study on the composite fracture characteristics of filling and reinforcing cracked rock mass after high temperature damage

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Cement infill shares compressive and shear stresses during loading, while interfacial friction hinders crack propagation and reduces stress concentration, improving the rock's load‐bearing capacity. Failure modes vary with crack inclination. Unfilled specimens show four modes.

Petrologic evidence for earliest Miocene tectonic mobility on eastern Taranaki Basin margin

, 2006
At Gibsons Beach on the west coast of central North Island, the earliest Miocene (Waitakian) Otorohanga Limestone, the top-most formation in the Te Kuiti Group, is unconformably overlain on an undulating, locally channelised erosion surface by the Early ...

Numerical simulation study on the evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall in fractured rock mass

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall under different fracture conditions was examined by an artificial ground freezing‐based thermal‐hydraulic coupled model. It was observed that fracture inclination affects the interaction extent of freezing pipes and fracture, while phase transition extent is the dominant factor for heat transfer in
