Uplift mechanics of unanchored liquid storage tanks subjected to lateral earthquake loading

Konstantinos Bakalis

Motivated by the seismic response of unanchored liquid storage tanks, their uplift mechanism under strong lateral loading is examined. Using three-dimensional finite element models, nonlinear static analysis is conducted to define the moment-rotation relat ...

A hydromechanical approach to assess CO2 injection-induced surface uplift and caprock deflection

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

This study focuses on the derivation of a semi-analytical approach for the evaluation of surface uplift and caprock deflection induced by underground injection of CO2. The adopted methodology includes the development of a mathematical model that incorporat ...

A study on the uplift mechanism of Tongjiezi dam using a coupled hydro-mechanical model

During filling in 1992 of the Tongiiezi reservoir, in Southwest China, it was noticed that the dam body and the rock masses on the right side of the valley were uplifted up to 22.2 mm and 24.3 mm respectively. After reservoir filling in 1993, the uplift co ...

An ALE-based numerical technique for modeling sedimentary basin evolution featuring layer deformations and faults

Alfio Quarteroni, Adelmo Cristiano Innocenza Malossi

In this paper we present a numerical tool to simulate dynamics of stratified sedimentary basins, i.e. depressions on the Earth’s surface filled by sediments. The basins are usually complicated by crustal deformations and faulting of the sediments. The bala ...

Estimation of interfacial fracture toughness based on progressive edge delamination of a thin transparent coating on a polymer substrate

Yves Leterrier

Evaluation of interfacial toughness of sub-micron-thickness layers deposited on a ductile substrate is a challenging task which has motivated different experimental approaches Fragmentation testing was used in the present study as a means of interface char ...

Origami - Folded Plate Structures

Hans Ulrich Buri

This research investigates new methods of designing folded plate structures that can be built with cross-laminated timber panels. Folded plate structures are attractive to both architects and engineers for their structural, spatial, and plastic qualities. ...
