A study on the uplift mechanism of Tongjiezi dam using a coupled hydro-mechanical model

During filling in 1992 of the Tongiiezi reservoir, in Southwest China, it was noticed that the dam body and the rock masses on the right side of the valley were uplifted up to 22.2 mm and 24.3 mm respectively. After reservoir filling in 1993, the uplift co ...

, ,

In this paper we present a numerical tool to simulate dynamics of stratified sedimentary basins, i.e. depressions on the Earth’s surface filled by sediments. The basins are usually complicated by crustal deformations and faulting of the sediments. The bala ...

ODP (Ocean Drilling Program)/IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program) Site 1256 is located on the Cocos Plate in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean, in a 15. Ma old oceanic lithosphere formed at the EPR during a period of superfast spreading (> 200 mm/yr ...

Evaluation of interfacial toughness of sub-micron-thickness layers deposited on a ductile substrate is a challenging task which has motivated different experimental approaches Fragmentation testing was used in the present study as a means of interface char ...

Tectonic controls on nearshore sediment accumulation and submarine canyon morphology offshore La Jolla, Southern California

Nicolas Le Dantec

CHIRP seismic and swath bathymetry data acquired offshore La Jolla, California provide an unprecedented three-dimensional view of the La Jolla and Scripps submarine canyons. Shore-parallel patterns of tectonic deformation appear to control nearshore sedime ...

Elsevier2010

Reactivation of structures inherited from previous collisional or rifting events, especially lithospheric-scale faults, is a major feature of plate tectonics. Its expression ranges from continental break-up along ancient collisional belts to linear arrays ...

Through-thickness performance of adhesive connections between FRP bridge decks and steel main girders

Martin Schollmayer

FRP bridge decks offer several advantages compared with conventional concrete bridge decks, particularly their much lower weight, but also their resistance against corrosion as well as easier installation and maintenance. The poorly conceived methods avail ...

Modeling of through-thickness stress state in adhesive joints connecting pultruded FRP bridge decks and steel girders

Thomas Keller, Martin Schollmayer

The through-thickness performance of adhesive joints connecting pultruded FRP bridge decks and steel girders subjected to loading in the transverse bridge direction was investigated. Deck-to-girder adhesive joints can be assumed as being loaded by uplift f ...

Osmium and lead isotopes of rare OsIrRu minerals: derivation from the core-mantle boundary region?

Anders Meibom, Reto Frei

We report exceptionally high Os-186/Os-188 for rare crystals of OsIrRu found in unconsolidated sediment near Port Orford, SW Oregon (USA), that are held to be derived from peridotite: in the nearby Klamath Mountains. These OsIrRu samples differ in composit ...
