<p>Using a software package that can be used for either three or two-dimensional (2D) slope stability analyses of the same model we analyse the stability of columns (3D) or slices (2D) overlying a shear failure surface. The failure surface can be any shape, ...

<p>The Northeast India region is one of the most active zones in the world; the region is jawed between the two arcs, the Himalayan arc to the north and the Indo-Burmese arc to the east. The region bounded by latitude 22-290N and longitude 90-980 E, produced ...

<p>The tunnel may have to be constructed across a faulted zone as it is not always possible to avoid crossing active faults. In these situations, the tunnel must tolerate the expected fault displacements and seismic action, and allow<br />only minor damages ...

<p>High-resolution airborne LiDAR and field mapping were used to investigate a 29 km-long section of the Hurunui segment of the Hope Fault concealed beneath beech forest. Approximately 20 km of the dextral strike-slip principal slip zone (PSZ) was identified ...

<p>Analysis of light detection and ranging (lidar) derived topography combined with field data enables measurement of small (&lt;30 m), previously unrecognized dextral offsets beneath dense temperate rainforest along New Zealand&rsquo;s central Alpine fault. ...

<p>The previously unknown Greendale Fault ruptured in the September 2010 moment magnitude (Mw) 7.1 Darfield Earthquake. Surface rupture fracture patterns and displacements along the fault were measured with high precision using real time kinematic (RTK) GPS, ...

<p>The 2011 rupture of previously undetected blind faults beneath Christchurch, New Zealand, in moment magnitude (Mw) 6.2 and 6.0 earthquakes triggered major rockfalls that caused fatalities and infrastructure damage. Here we use field, geospatial, seismologic, ...

<p>TBM tunneling is an ever-increasing prospect for underground construction, and with each new tunnel bored there are unknown elements. When boring through the earth, even extensive Geotechnical Baseline Reports can miss fault lines, water inflows, squeezing ...

<p>Dynamic triggering of earthquakes by seismic waves is a robustly observed phenomenon with well-documented examples from over 30 major earthquakes. We are now in a position to use dynamic triggering as a natural experiment to probe the reaction of faults ...

<p>The present paper focusses on different approaches of numerical model set up and discretisation based on the available geological models by using FEFLOW. In particular, the implementation of the complicated geology with regional faults and thrusts are presented ...

<p>We provide 9 synthetic structural models. Their purpose is to test geomodeling algorithms, they are linked to a paper submitted in July 2014 to Computers&amp;Geosciences.</p>

<p>Forget about having to import bathymetric river data. Begin analysing results sooner with MIKE HYDRO Basin&rsquo;s data-efficient design that includes default parameter files and built-in routines for rapid delineation of rivers and sub-catchments at user-specified ...
