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 ...

Contemporary tectonic stress field in China [PDF]
Earthquake Science, 2010 The contemporary tectonic stress field in China is obtained on the basis of Chinese stress field database and Harvard CMT catalogue. Result of the inverted tectonic stresses shows that the maximum principal stress axis strikes nearly north-south direction in the west part of Tibet plateau, ENE direction in North China.

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 ...

Inversion of multiphase tectonic stress field and fracture evolution in shale gas reservoirs [PDF]
Youqicang pingjia yu kaifaThe shale gas reserves in the Wufeng Formation-Longmaxi Formation of the Luzhou Block in southern Sichuan are substantial. Tectonic movements alter the ground stress, significantly impacting the exploration and development of shale gas.

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 ...

Quaternary tectonic and depositional evolution of eastern Srem (northwest Serbia) [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2014 The area of eastern Srem is situated in the southern periphery of the Pannonian basin. Its depositional evolution during the Neogene and the Quaternary has been controlled by tectonic processes. Miocene extensional subsidence was followed by the
