Andean flat-slab subduction through time

The analysis of magmatic distribution, basin formation, tectonic evolution and structural styles of different segments of the Andes shows that most of the Andes have experienced a stage of flat subduction. Evidence is presented here for a wide range of regions throughout the Andes, including the three present flat-slab segments (Pampean, Peruvian, Bucaramanga), three incipient flat-slab segment...

Behavior of Continuous Flat Slab Exposed to Fire

This paper investigates the behavior of reinforced concrete continuous flat slabs after exposure to fire through experimental and theoretical analysis investigations were made. In the experimental part a series of tests carried out, to evaluate the effect of fire on the mechanical properties of concrete including a number of cubs and cylinders. Indirect fire exposure experiments are performed i...

Density of states of quasiparticles in an anisotropic flat slab

2014 The density of states of quasiparticles in an anisotropic flat slab or half-space is calculated in the effective mass tensor approximation. The results obtained are used to find the surface contribution to the density of states which is proportional to the surface-to-volume ratio. Under certain conditions discussed in the paper, the surface contribution found remains valid for an assembly ...

Slab pull, slab weakening, and their relation to deep intra-slab seismicity

[1] Subduction zone seismicity is highly variable. Great earthquakes occur at few subduction zones around the world, with significant variation in size and frequency of deep events. Interactions between overriding and subducting plates and slab pull strength for individual plates provide a framework for understanding these variations. Previous work suggests an inverse correlation between great ...
