A 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 ...

Microscopic Digital Image Correlation Analysis of Strain Distributions in Stainless Steel 316L Induced by Multiaxial Cyclic Loading

Elif Cansu Kursun

Fatigue damage in materials results in localized strain at the microstructural level. In many engineering components of the cooling circuits of nuclear power plants, where austenitic steels are used, the material experiences multiaxial cyclic loading, eith ...

To break or not to break: The role of secondary mineralisation on joint reactivation in sandstone

Alexandra Roma Larisa Kushnir, Michael Heap

Discontinuities, including fractures and joint sets, modify the fluid transport properties and strength of rock masses. While open fractures and joints increase rock mass permeability and decrease rock mass strength, fluid flow within these structures can ...

Hydro-mechanical behaviour of a sandy silt from a river embankment

Alessio Ferrari

The paper presents the results of an experimental campaign aimed at characterizing the hydro mechanical behaviour of a sandy silt from a river embankment Due to continuous river level fluctuations and changing climatic and environmental conditions, flood e ...

Geomechanical modelling of CO₂ injection in deep aquifers

Chao Li

CO2 sequestration in deep geological formations is considered as a promising technology to reduce the impact of CO2 on the greenhouse effect. Practically, large-volume of CO2 could be injected into a system that consists of a highly porous host reservoir c ...

The role of mass-transport deposits and turbidites in shaping modern lacustrine deepwater channels

Nicolas Le Dantec

Subaquatic canyons are an important pathway for sediment transport into oceanic and lacustrine basins. Understanding the mechanisms governing their geomorphological evolution is a key to predict the sediment distribution patterns through these sediment con ...

Monitoring and prediction in Early Warning Systems (EWS) for rapid mass movements

Alexis Berne, Alessio Ferrari, Dani Or, Marc Schleiss

Rapid mass movements (RMM) pose a substantial risk to people and infrastructure. Reliable and cost-efficient measures have to be taken to reduce this risk. One of these measures includes establishing and advancing the State of Practice in the application o ...

Deployment of a dynamic penetrometer from manned submersibles for fine-scale geomorphology studies

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Nicolas Le Dantec

Dynamic penetrometers reveal information about seafloor strength, stratification, stability, and sediment remobilization. However, positioning is often limited to a range of meters making it difficult to target small-scale geomorphologic features. Deployme ...

Sedimentological processes in the Rhone Delta subaquatic canyons (France-Switzerland)

Nicolas Le Dantec

Deltas are very sensitive environments and highly vulnerable to variations in water discharge and the amount of suspended sediment load provided by the delta-forming currents. Human activities in the watershed, such as building of dams and irrigation ditch ...
