Fluvial and tectonic geomorphology of orogenic plateaux [PDF]
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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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
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.

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 ...
