FISHFUZZ: Catch Deeper Bugs by Throwing Larger Nets

Mathias Josef Payer, Flavio Toffalini, Han Zheng, Yuqing Zhang, Jiayuan Zhang

Fuzzers effectively explore programs to discover bugs. Greybox fuzzers mutate seed inputs and observe their execution. Whenever a seed reaches new behavior (e.g., new code or higher execution frequency), it is stored for further mutation. Greybox fuzzers d ...

Influence of water on deformation and failure of gypsum rock

Alexandra Roma Larisa Kushnir

While water is known to significantly reduce the strength of rocks, there remains a paucity of data on water-weakening of gypsum. Here, we quantify water-weakening in a natural gypsum facies from Monferrato (Italy) by performing experiments on nominally dr ...

Hydro-mechanical coupling in porous rocks: hidden dependences to the microstructure?

Lucas Xan Pimienta

While hydro-mechanical coupling in rocks is generally well understood, exotic rock poroelastic responses-such as unexpected dependence to fluid diffusion time and low skeleton moduli-have been reported. Hydro-mechanical coupling, or poroelasticity, explain ...

Shear Response of Wet Weak Carbonate Rock/Grout Interfaces Under Cyclic Loading

Eleni Stavropoulou

The development and construction of offshore wind farms requires the correct estimation of the friction that can be mobilised at the rock/grout interface. In conventional studies, the shear behaviour of a joint is usually investigated with laboratory tests ...

Fracture toughness of sandstone under dry, saturated and immerged conditions

Salma Lemghari

Water-induced strength reduction is one of the most critical causes of rock engineering disasters. Understanding the influence of water on the fracture toughness of rocks is necessary for rock fracture mechanics and rock engineering applications such as mi ...

In-situ stress and rock characterisation via dry reopening test

In the present project a not well-known method has been studied, the dry reopening test DRT. This is a method used to estimate the in-situ stress field of a soil and was. In the context of the project, the test was used to estimate the stress field in the ...

Mechanical and hydraulic transport properties of transverse-isotropic Gneiss deformed under deep reservoir stress and pressure conditions

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

In central Europe, many geo-energy reservoirs have revealed to be hosted in transverse isotropic crystalline rock, where the rock's mechanical and hydraulic transport properties are poorly constrained. Here, we performed triaxial experiments on Cresciano G ...

The influence of wear on the interaction between the cutting tools and the rock face

At present, the demand of long tunnels with high cover is growing. At these depths, a rock mass consists mainly on hard rocks, which are often excavated with hard rock TBMs, whose costs per meter are lower than conventional excavation methods. The excavati ...

Induced seismicity in geologic carbon storage

Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Geologic carbon storage, as well as other geo-energy applications, such as geothermal energy, seasonal natural gas storage and subsurface energy storage imply fluid injection and/or extraction that causes changes in rock stress field and may induce (micro) ...

Distributed snow and rock temperature modelling in steep rock walls using Alpine3D

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

In this study we modelled the influence of the spatially and temporally heterogeneous snow cover on the surface energy balance and thus on rock temperatures in two rugged, steep rock walls on the Gemsstock ridge in the central Swiss Alps. The heterogeneous ...
