A of seismic waves is sensitive to the physical properties of the subsurface and has been observed in vertical seismic profiling (VSP) and reflection data. De et al. (1994) report measurements of the Pand S-wave quality factors from VSP surveys and sonic logs. Klimentos (1995) measures compressional and shear attenuation from sonic logs in sandstone formations with variable oil, water, and gas...

this paper describes a methodology for the integration of well logs and a series of grid-based attributes extracted from interpreted seismic data for prediction of porosity distributions. the studied area is located in the southwest iran. before finding a relationship between the target logs and predicted logs from 3d seismic data, we have interpreted the 3d seismic data in the studied area. al...

Telecommunication tower is an important component of the basic infrastructure of communication systems and thus preserving them in events of natural disasters - such as a severe earthquake - is of high priority. In past studies, researchers have mostly considered the effects of wind and earthquake-induced loads on 3-legged (triangular cross-section) self-supporting steel telecommunication tower...

yielding elements (ye) are among those devices that not only help control structural damages, but make better seismic behavior by concentrating the frames in some removable part of the structures. ye are located at the intersection of concentric braced frame (cbf) in a rectangular shape. in this paper, seismic behavior of the frames with ye will be investigated. for this reason, 5 braced steel ...

Remote triggering of small low-frequency seismic tremor (non-volcanic tremor) near the seismic-aseismic transition zone of subduction zones, by surface waves from large distant earthquakes, has been reported in southwest Japan and the Cascadia region. Recent observed triggering in southwest Japan from three large earthquakes (2003 Tokachi-oki, 2007 Solomon, and 2008 Wenchuan) covering wide azim...

Moment tensors are indefinite tensors derived from seismic measurements and encode important information about earthquakes and surface displacement in the earth’s mantle. Appropriate analysis of scattered moment tensor fields requires multi-scale visualization to identify related seismic events. For this matter we provide a visualization of the tensor field at different scales based on multivar...

Shallow high-resolution seismic reflection techniques proved valuable in detecting, delineating, and advancing interpretations of a regional fault and associate local structural features previously speculated from sparse well data in northeastern Wisconsin. This seismic survey was the first of its kind in this part or Wisconsin and provided solid evidence that the method will work well in this ...

he present paper deals with the study of static and dynamic analysis of transmission line tower (X type of bracing system). A typical type of transmission line tower carrying 220KV single circuit conductor is chosen as case study existing in bijapur district. The analysis and modeling of tower is carried out using FE based ANSYS software. The model is created in CATIA and then imported to ANSYS...

This article investigates the effect of contact ageing on fretting damage of an epoxy-based cathodic electro-deposited coating for use on automotive seat slide tracks (made of cold-rolled high strength steel). Static normal load was induced at the contact between the coating and an AISI52100 ball for a certain duration. It was identified that plastically deformed contact area increased logarith...

Sungun Copper Mine is located in an area with a high level of seismic hazard. Most recently, the Ahar-Varzeqan earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 on Richter scale occurred on August 11, 2012; at a distance about 40 kilometers away from the mine. Nevertheless, the seismic stability of the final pit wall has not been comprehensively reviewed. In this research, the southwestern wall of the final p...
