dynamic loads

Large naturally-induced earthquakes have the potential to not only to harm constructions above and below surface, they might as well trigger slip on near-by smaller faults. The latter can be of major concern to subsurface constructions, too. Our dynamic simulation of elastic waves passing through a rock mass can help to understand the damage inflicted by earthquakes.

Earthquakes might cause major destruction on surface buildings as well as subsurface constructions, like mines or nuclear waste disposal sites. It is therefore, a must to investigate the damage inflicted by earthquakes. Our numerical approach can simulate the propagation of elastic waves induced either by explosions or slip on a nearby fault to resolve the change in stresses on the underground construction in spatial and temporal dimension. Furthermore, the simulations can provide answers to whether a second earthquake is triggered on another fault segement.

outcome

  • temporal and spatial distribution of changes in stress and displacement
  • estimation of the reactivation of distal and proximal faults
