Mechanism of Vibration Energy Action on Dynamic Instability of Shock-Type Rockburst Carrier System by Lyu Pengfei, Cui Xuekai

“…Then, the energy of mine earthquake was quantitatively characterized in the form of kinetic energy of rock block. Through the combination of the two parameters, the energy criterion of shock-type rockburst was obtained as follows: once the energy of mine earthquake acting on the rockburst source area was 2%–9% of the static energy, shock-type rockburst can occur. …”

Evaluation of Seismic Performance and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) for Piloti-Type Buildings considering Korean Geotechnical Conditions by Seung Dae Kim, Jaeyong Yoon, Wanjei Cho, Jungwhee Lee

“…To achieve this goal, seismic SSI analysis applying the measured Gyeongju earthquake and design response spectrum (DRM) based on the architectural design codes are conducted by constructing three-dimensional structural analysis models with a five-story piloti-type building and four different soil properties: fill (FI), alluvial soil (AS), weathered soil (WS), and weathered rock (WR). From the analysis results, it is found that WS soil is largely affected by the seismic SSI, and the influence of the seismic SSI is different for each soil type regardless of the type of earthquake. …”

Characterization Method of Tight Sandstone Reservoir Heterogeneity and Tight Gas Accumulation Mechanism, Jurassic Formation, Sichuan Basin, China by Lin Jiang, Wen Zhao, Benjian Zhang, Chao Zheng, Feng Hong, Jiaqing Hao

“…Based on this parameter, petroleum geologists can understand the interlayer heterogeneity during fluvial deposition and predict the sweet spots of tight gas; (2) the permeability ratio relationship between hydrocarbon accumulation of the tight sandstone reservoir mainly manifests as long as there is the existence of the differential permeability and there will be differences in natural gas migration dynamics, so that the natural gas accumulates in pores and depends on the extent of source rock; and (3) although the difference between capillary force curves is at the core of the influence of the permeability ratio on the gas-bearing capacity of the “sweet spot” sand body, the permeability ratio is a parameter of practical engineering significance. …”
