Abstract The increase of pore water pressure under a dynamic load is an important reason for the vibration liquefaction saturated sand. Therefore, studying model tailings sand plays role in seismic analysis ponds. In this paper, development characteristics fine and silt pond with centerline method are studied by triaxial tests. research results show that ratio shows trend "rising–smooth–rising"...

Pore network models are used to relate fundamental pore structure parameters (pore body and pore throat size distributions) to the distribution of water at the pore level and the decay of proton magnetization under conditions of primary drainage in water-wet rocks. The simulations reveal conditions under which diffusive coupling between pores has a significant effect on the decay spectra and pr...

Some landslides move imperceptibly downslope, whereas others accelerate catastrophically. Experimental landslides triggered by rising pore water pressure moved at sharply contrasting rates due to small differences in initial porosity. Wet sandy soil with porosity of about 0.5 contracted during slope failure, partially liquefied, and accelerated within 1 second to speeds over 1 meter per second....

The small hydrate concept (SHC) was proposed to predict the generated excess pore water pressure due to dissociation of gas hydrate within sandy soils. This concept was then used to calculate excess pore water pressure in the Storegga slide of which gas hydrate dissociation may have contributed. Since the excess pore water pressure calculated by the SHC resulted in the considerable loss of stif...

A transient poroelastic formulation based on the Biot consolidation theory is presented to study the impact of underground longwall mining of coal on strata deformation and the subsequent modification of hydrogeological properties. A finite-element model is used where the geometric conditions may be complex. The important parameters in this model are identified as pore pressure ratio, ct 1 and ...

Failure of the quay walls due to earthquakes results in severe economic loss. Because of hazards threatening such inexpensive nodes of national and international transportation networks, seismic design of quay walls is still an evolving topic in marine structural engineering. This study investigates the sensitivity of the gravity-type quay wall stability respect to uncertain soil and seismic pr...

We characterized the poroelastic deformation of six cores from three formations associated with the Bakken play in the Williston Basin (the Lodgepole, Middle Bakken, and Three Forks formations). All are low-porosity, low-permeability formations, but vary considerably in clay, kerogen, and carbonate content. The experimental program simulated reservoir stress changes associated with depletion an...

Seismicity in the U.S. midcontinent has increased by orders of magnitude over the past decade. Spatiotemporal correlations of seismicity to wastewater injection operations have suggested that injection-related pore fluid pressure increases are inducing the earthquakes. We present direct evidence linking earthquake occurrence to pore pressure increase in the U.S. midcontinent through time-lapse ...

Hydroseismicity was proposed to explain the occurrence of intraplate earthquakes in regions. Koyna Warna region one of the reservoir triggered seismicity zone in India, which is an example of intraplate earthquake region. The seismicity is continuing after 45 years of impoundment of the Koyna reservoir in 1961 and 25 years of impoundment of Warna reservoir in 1985. The excess of previous maximu...
