Fluvial and tectonic geomorphology of orogenic plateaux [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Geomorphology is an expression of processes acting upon an area. The links between driving processes and the resulting geomorphology are far from being fully understood.

Generalized Matsuoka–Nakai criterion considering hydrostatic pressure dependence in the brittle–ductile region

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Three sets of strength data were selected, including hydrostatic pressure independent within the brittle region (HPI‐B), hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle region (HPD‐B), and hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle–ductile region (HPD‐BD). For HPI type, the failure envelope within the deviatoric plane remains constant.

Models of stress at mid-ocean ridges and their offsets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This thesis aims to investigate the stresses at mid-ocean ridge offsets, and particularly at the particular class of offsets represented by oceanic microplates. Amongthese, the Easter microplate is one of the best surveyed.

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.

Experimental study on burning rate and flame geometry in construction tunnel fires under high geothermal conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...

鄂尔多斯地块西缘莫霍面起伏及泊松比分布

open access: yesDizhen xuebao, 2018
收集了鄂尔多斯地块西缘的21个宁夏区域地震台网台站和183个中国地震科学探测台阵台站记录到的2015年1月至2016年1月期间的远震P波资料,通过对其进行反褶积提取接收函数,并利用H-Kappa叠加方法计算了研究区内的莫霍面深度和泊松比。结果表明:研究区的莫霍面深度在36—58 km范围内变化,大体呈南厚北薄、西厚东薄的特点,且具有明显的分区特征,即以香山—天景山断裂为界,莫霍面在南北向呈现明显的起伏变化,该断裂以南的地壳增厚方式可能与青藏高原的水平挤压力所导致的上地壳重叠有关 ...

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

Experimental Investigation on Mechanics and Seepage Characteristics of Tectonic and Intact Coal Containing Gas

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Coalbed methane is a double-edged sword with two attributes of energy and hazard in coal mines. Gas drainage is the most direct and effective measure for gas recovery and disaster prevention in coal mines, which is seriously affected by the mechanics and

Study on the Influence of Tectonic Stress on Stability of Horseshoe-Shaped Tunnels

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021
While the tunnel is in the high tectonic stress environment and surrounding rock of tunnel has the characteristics of soft texture and stronger expansion, the preference of tunnel shape is horseshoe.

Permeability of granite from a shallow buried mountain pipe gallery tunnel under unloading confining pressure

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...
