Effect of Water Content on P-Wave Attenuation Across a Rock Fracture Filled with Granular Materials

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu

Springer Wien2015

A Dynamic-induced Direct-shear Model for Dynamic Triggering of Frictional Slip on Simulated Granular Gouges

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu

This study presents a dynamic-induced direct-shear model to investigate the dynamic triggering of frictional slip on simulated granular gouges. An incident P-wave is generated as a shear load and a normal stress is constantly applied on the gouge layer. Th ...

Role of filling materials in a P-wave interaction with a rock fracture

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of filling materials (e.g., quartz sand and kaolin clay) in the interaction between a P-wave and a rock fracture. The specific fracture stiffness reflects the seismic response of a filled fracture, while ...

Seismic response of adjacent filled parallel rock fractures with dissimilar properties

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu

The purpose of this study is to analytically predict and to experimentally investigate the seismic response of adjacent filled parallel rock fractures with dissimilar properties (e.g., fracture thickness and stiffness). The time-domain recursive method is ...

Dynamic response of a rock fracture filled with viscoelastic materials

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu, Jianbo Zhu

Rock fractures filled with viscoelastic materials, such as sand, usually contribute to rock mass instability under the influence of seismic waves and dynamic loads. The purpose of this study is to verify that the specific fracture stiffness and the specifi ...

A further study on seismic response of a set of parallel rock fractures filled with viscoelastic materials

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu, Jianbo Zhu

The purpose of this study is to further investigate the seismic response of a set of parallel rock fractures filled with viscoelastic materials, following the work by Zhu et al. Dry quartz sands are used to represent the viscoelastic materials. The split H ...

Laboratory Investigation on Seismic Response of Rock Fractures Filled with Granular Materials

Wei Wu

Filling materials may exist in all scales of rock fractures, not only influencing seismic wave attenuation, but controlling rock mass instability. The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the seismic response of rock fractures filled wi ...

A thin-layer interface model for wave propagation through filled rock joints

Jian Zhao, Wei Wu, Jianbo Zhu

The present study essentially employs a thin-layer interface model for filled rock joints to analyze wave propagation across the jointed rock masses. The thin-layer interface model treats the rough-surfaced joint and the filling material as a continuum med ...
