Spatio-temporal evolution of intraplate strike-slip faulting: the Neogene-Quaternary Kuh-e-Faghan Fault, Central Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Central Iran provides an ideal region to study the long-term morphotectonic response to the nucleation and propagation of intraplate faulting. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates structural and stratigraphic field investigations ...

On STEM of tectonic stress fields in tsunami regions [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Modelling and Simulation, 2011
We apply the STEM (Stress Trajectories Element Method) to investigate changes in the stress states as a result of a great earthquake. Two regions are considered: 1) the region affected by the great Sumatran earthquake (26 of December 2004, 9.1M), taking into account data collected before and after the event separately; 2) the region where the recent ...

Paleo-tectonic Stress Field and Tectonic Evolution since the Mesozoic in the Eastern Mining Area of Pingdingshan

Earth Sciences Research Journal, 2019
By observing a large number of conjugate shear joint data in the field and underground of the study area, the conjugate shear joint data is analyzed by the stereographic projection method, and the paleo-tectonic stress field experienced in the mining ...

Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin [PDF]

, 2010
Extent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven

Dynamic development of hydrofracture [PDF]

, 2013
Many natural examples of complex joint and vein networks in layered sedimentary rocks are hydrofractures that form by a combination of pore fluid overpressure and tectonic stresses.

An integrated geodetic and InSAR technique for the monitoring and detection of active faulting in southwestern Sicily [PDF]

, 2020
We present the results of the analysis of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and InSAR (Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar) data collected in the frame of a project financed by the “Struttura Terremoti” of INGV (Istituto Nazionale di ...

Stress field sensitivity analysis in a sedimentary sequence of the Alpine foreland, northern Switzerland [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2015
The stress field at depth is a relevant parameter for the design of subsurface constructions and reservoir management. Yet the distortion of the regional stress field due to local-scale features such as sedimentary and tectonic structures or topography ...

Estimation of the three-dimensional in situ stress field around a large deep underground cavern group near a valley

, 2021
Understanding three-dimensional (3D) in situ stress field is of key importance for estimating the stability of large deep underground cavern groups near valleys.

Energy Release Analysis of a Severe Rockburst in a Headrace Tunnel Crossing a Tectonic Stress Zone

Shock and Vibration, 2019
When tunneling in a hard and brittle rock mass within a tectonic stress zone, dynamic failure of rock mass-rockburst may occur. Considering the occurrence of rockburst is generally induced by a sudden release of storage elastic energy, a numerical ...
