CRC Press2023A fully-coupled highly-parallelized geomechanical simulator for assessing induced seismicity
Jean-François Molinari, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Guillaume Anciaux, Nicolas Richart, Emil Gallyamov
Induced seismicity caused by anthropogenic modification of the subsurface effective stress state has been observed in a number of industrial applications -- from hydrocarbon extraction (e.g., Groningen [1]), drilling waste-water disposal (e.g., [2]) to the ...
2023Pore-pressure coefficients for unsaturated soils: generalized effective stress approach
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo
Geotechnical problems with total stress changes occurring rapidly relative to the soil consolidation time can be conveniently addressed using an effective stress-based approach. For saturated states, analytical formulations of pore-pressure coefficients ad ...
CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING2023Data-driven 1D wave propagation for site response analysis
Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Sacha Zenon Wattel
Prediction of ground motion triggered by earthquakes is a prime concern for both the seismology community and geotechnical earthquake engineering one. The subfield occupied with such a problem is termed site response analysis (SRA), its one-dimensional fla ...
