Abstract:
It is of great significance to study the geological characteristics of faults and the corresponding displacement patterns for the tunnel engineering crossing active faults. On the basis of field investigation and geological data analysis, it is found that the secondary weak structures, such as narrow cleavage bands, narrow joint bands, fault gouge zones, and small folds, often appear in the fault fracture zones and affected zones. The multilevel structure of fault is proposed from mechanics and engineering by summarizing their main characteristics. Taking the outcrop of fracture zones of Batan

Abstract:
Interpretation of seismic responses from subsurface fault zones is hampered by the fact that the geologic structure and property distributions of fault zones can generally not be directly observed. This shortcoming curtails the use of seismic data for characterizing internal structure and properties of fault zones, and it has instead promoted the use of interpretation techniques that tend to simplify actual structural complexity by rendering faults as lines and planes rather than volumes of deformed rock. Facilitating the correlation of rock properties and seismic images of fault zones would e

Subsurface fluid injection and extraction can reactivate faults and induce earthquakes.

These differences may have a great influence on fault stability during fluid injection or extraction. In this study, the impact of fault zone structures on flui

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents three main configurations of uni-grounded low-voltage AC microgrids. Transient situations of a uni-grounded low-voltage (LV) AC microgrid (MG) are simulated through various fault tests and operation transition tests between grid-connected and islanded modes. Based on transient simulation results, available fault protection methods are proposed for main and back-up protection of a uni-grounded AC microgrid. In addition, concept of a generalised fault protection structure of uni-grounded LVAC MGs is mentioned in the paper. As a result, main contributions of the paper

Abstract:
In the Black Sea near Yalta in 1927 there were massive methane outbursts, accompanied by flames over the water. The fire was associated with methane emissions that entered through tectonic faults. The faults were caused by seismic movements. The article analyses the depth structure of the focal zones and the nature of the seismic process and assesses the nature of the manifestations of the fires. The main factor is thought to be methane, which rises from the earth’s crust during earthquakes. The electric spark discharges generated by friction and collision of the earth’s crust ignited methane

In this paper, we aim to reveal the influence of fault fracture zones on the stability of submarine tunnels and the surrounding rock under different water and drainage measures. Firstly, four typical working conditions of submarine tunnels intersecting with fault fracture zones were selected. On the basis of the typical cross section of the intersections of submarine tunnels and faults, they were divided into four working conditions. Then, the displacement and plastic zones of the surrounding rock of the tunnel were studied, and the stability of the rock surrounding the submarine tunnel was di

The SB1 strike-slip fault zone, which developed in the north of the Shuntuo Low Uplift of the Tarim Basin, plays an essential role in reservoir formation and hydrocarbon accumulation in deep Ordovician carbonate rocks. In this research, through the analysis of high-quality 3D seismic volumes, outcrop, drilling and production data, the hydrocarbon-bearing characteristics of the SB1 fault are systematically studied. The SB1 fault developed sequentially in the Paleozoic and formed as a result of a three-fold evolution: Middle Caledonian (phase III), Late Caledonian–Early Hercynian and Middle–Late

Qualitative analysis of the density profiles revealed features of fault tectonics at different depth levels. Oblique faults are shown to prevail in the crust of the region, while orthogonal faults prevail in the lithospheric mantle. It is established that the metamorphic basement of the northeastern margin of the North Asian Craton is divided by active long-lived zones into differently

The principal faults of southeastern Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec consist of a central high-strain zone that is characterized by mainly ductile deformation structures and bordered by low-strain zones each dominated by brittle deformation structures. The overall geometry of shear fractures within the low-strain zones is quite similar to the expected geometry of Riedel shear fractures. The brittle structures overprint the dominant C–S-type fabric of the high-strain zone, which implies that brittle deformation outlasted ductile deformation.

Conversely, seismological studies, with their larger spatial coverage and temporal resolution but lower spatial resolution, often image the seismogenic interface as a kilometres-wide band of seismicity7.

A digital camera was used to capture images in the course of the modeling experiments.
