Effects of CH4-CO2 replacement in hydrate-bearing sediments on S-wave velocity and electrical resistivity
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
CH4-CO2 replacement has been considered as a method for methane production from hydrate-bearing sediments to maintain sediment stability. Sediment stability has been studied at both the particle scale and mesoscale. However, ...
Accounting for the influence of the free surface on the vibration response of underground railway tunnels: A new iterative method
(
KU Leuven - Departement Werktuigkunde
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new method for calculating the ground-borne vibration from shallow underground railways. The method is based on an iterative wave-scattering approach, which decouples the problem into two sub-systems: ...
