Hazard and risk assessment of earthquake-induced landslides-case study

Landslides as secondary seismic effects are causing some patterns of soil failure that are often considered among the most destructive ones. In fact, the impact from triggered landslides has sometimes exceeded damage directly related to strong shaking and ...

Petro-physical characterization of the Main Fault at the Mont Terri Laboratory

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza

Opalinus clay has been widely studied in the context of deep geological disposal. Its favourable hydro-mechanical properties made it a suitable material for the storage of nuclear waste. But the presence of tectonic systems within the clay formation arise ...

Insulation effect on thermal stability of Coated Conductors wires in liquid nitrogen

Bertrand Dutoit

Superconducting wires are not perfectly homogeneous in term of critical current as well as stabilization. In resistive fault current limiter applications this could lead to hot spots if the fault current is only slightly above the nominal current of the de ...

Potential for Fault Reactivation Due to CO2 Injection in a Semi-Closed Saline Aquifer

Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano, Roman Makhnenko

CO2 injection in extensive saline aquifers that present no faults is unlikely to damage the caprock sealing capacity. In contrast, CO2 injection in closed reservoirs will induce a large pressure buildup that may reactivate the low-permeable faults that bou ...

Modelling of fluid injection into a frictional weakening dilatant fault

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Federico Ciardo

Fluid injection at a pressure below the local minimum principal total stress in a fault may (re)activate shear crack propagation (hydroshearing). Because of the presence of asperities along the fault's surfaces, the fault hydraulic width increase with the ...

An Alternative Method for Locating Faults in Transmission Line Networks Based on Time Reversal

Mario Paolone, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi, Asia Codino

We present an alternative method based on the time-reversal process to locate faults in transmission line networks. The proposed procedure considers different media for the forward and the backward propagation phases. Specifically, the transverse branch re ...

Petro-physical properties of the Main Fault at the Mont Terri Laboratory

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Christophe Nussbaum, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza, Eduardo David Gramajo Silva

This work focuses on the petro-physical characterization of the Main Fault zone at the Mont Terri Laboratory, in Switzerland. ...

Probabilistic simulations of TBM Tunnelling in highly fractured and faulted rocks

Federica Sandrone, Jian Zhao, Jean-Paul Dudt, Erika Paltrinieri

Despite the potential excellent performance of TBMs in favourable ground conditions, the presence of fault zones or heavily jointed rocks represent important geological hazards encountered during tunnel excavation. The effects of these challenging environm ...

Locating Faults on Untransposed, Meshed Transmission Networks Using a Limited Number of Synchrophasor Measurements

Mario Paolone, Sadegh Azizi

The method of symmetrical components is not effective for fault location in the case of untransposed lines, due to potential couplings between the sequence circuits. This paper proposes a non-iterative algorithm in the phase-coordinates for wide-area fault ...

Analysis and estimation of gripper TBM performances in highly fractured and faulted rocks

Federica Sandrone, Jian Zhao, Erika Paltrinieri

This paper focuses on performance analysis of Tunnel Boring Machine (in particular gripper TBMs) in highly jointed rock masses and fault zones. In order to investigate possible relationships between these difficult excavation conditions and TBM performance ...
