Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2022 We present a series of analogue models inspired by the geology of the Zürcher Weinland region in the Northern Alpine Foreland Basin of Switzerland to explore the influence of rheological weak, i.e.

Study on the Creep and Fracture Evolution Mechanism of Rock Mass with Weak Interlayers
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 To study the influence of weak interlayers on the creep failure characteristics of rock masses, based on the continuous-discontinuous method (CDEM), the uniaxial compression creep experiments of rock masses containing weak layers were numerically ...

Stability of a bi-layer free film: simultaneous or individual rupture events? [PDF]
, 2015 We consider the stability of a long free film of liquid composed of two immiscible layers of differing viscosities, where each layer experiences a van der Waals force between its interfaces.

A Weak Layer in the Mantle? [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1937 Summary The paper discusses the effect of a weak layer in the upper mantle on the deformation of the crust arising from atmospheric loading, and on the isostatic compensation process. It also points out that S phases with periods of I second are much more strongly damped than S phases with periods of 10 seconds or more, and than P phases with short ...

Evaluating snow weak-layer failure parameters through inverse finite element modelling of shaking-platform experiments [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Snowpack weak layers may fail due to excess stresses of various natures, caused by snowfall, skiers, explosions or strong ground motion due to earthquakes, and lead to snow avalanches.

Ultimate capacity of piles penetrating in weak soil layers
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 A pile foundation is one of the most popular forms of deep foundations. They are routinely employed to transfer axial structure loads through the soft soil to stronger bearing strata.

Modeling weak snow layer fracture in propagation saw test using an ice column model
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2022 Fracture initiation and propagation in a weak snow layer are two primary processes of the slab avalanche formation process. This study proposes a model for the weak snow layer and investigates the fracture propagation process.

On the compressive strength of weak snow layers of depth hoar
Journal of GlaciologyWe determined the compressive strength of weak layers of faceted crystals and depth hoar using artificially grown samples with a wide range of microstructural morphologies in a cold laboratory setup.
