Permeability Evolution During Shear Zone Initiation in Low-Porosity Rocks
Using an innovative experimental set-up (Punch-Through Shear test), we initiated a shear zone (microfault) in Flechtingen sandstone and Odenwald...

Investigation of the dynamic behavior of sand-EPS block combination using shaking table experiments
Seismic isolation serves as a means to absorb vibrations, minimizing harm and structural risks arising from intense ground movements that cause...

Extension mechanism and failure mode investigation on a fissured loess slope induced by loading
The loess structural planes of different formation, scales, origin, and types are widely developed in loess slopes, which can significantly control...

How fluid infiltrates dry crustal rocks during progressive eclogitization and shear zone formation: insights from H2O contents in nominally anhydrous minerals
Granulites from Holsnøy (Bergen Arcs, Norway) maintained a metastable state until fluid infiltration triggered the kinetically delayed...

Time history of seismic earth pressure response from gravity retaining wall based on energy dissipation
The seismic design of gravity retaining walls is based mostly on the pseudo static method. The seismic earth pressure is assumed to be a constant...

A new approach to construct 3-D crustal shear-wave velocity models: method description and application to the Central Alps
We develop a new inversion approach to construct a 3-D structural and shear-wave velocity model of the crust based on teleseismic P-to-S converted...

Bayesian back analysis of landslides considering slip surface uncertainty
Previous studies about probabilistic back analysis for shear strength parameters of landslides generally adopted a fixed slip surface. This setting...
