Faults are frequently one of those adverse geological conditions that jam tunnel boring
machines (TBMs). However, the identification of faults and the engineering geological …

Clay-mineralogy study of Taiwanese river-mouth sediments, recent deep-water seafloor
sediments around Taiwan, along with sediments collected from the Tainan shelf edge, have …

The first hole of the Wenchuan earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling (WFSD-1) was started on
Nov. 6, 2008 as a rapid response to the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (Mw 7.9) …

Faults are the main adverse geological causing water inrush hazards in tunnels. The
complexity and diversity of fault-induced water inrush often results in hazard response …

Experimental results demonstrate that amorphous materials can be generated by frictional
sliding at a wide range of conditions and that once formed the frictional strength of the fault is …

In recent works on the determination of graphitization of carbonaceous materials (CM) within
the principal slip zone (PSZ) of the Longmenshan fault (China), we demonstrated that the …

Primary rock magnetism analysis was performed on samples from the Jiulong outcrop
across the Anxian–Guanxian fault of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake rupture zone. The …

Direct observations of the physical structures of the seismogenic zones of active faults are
rare, due to the difficulty in reaching the fault zone at depth. Current geological evidences …

In this paper, we explore the potential use of available free Landsat sensor data to
investigate the short-term variations (STV) in the clay mineral ratio (CMR) following the 2015 …

Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and sediment load are essential factors in water
resource management, hydraulic engineering, soil and water conservation, sedimentation …
