This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It gives me much pleasure to introduce this work of Prof. Dr. Ing. Fumagalli, a work that covers both the development and present state of the art of structural model techniques. In my view, in this context, only a lack of understanding of the possibilities offered by experiments on models and sometimes an unjustified suspicion of them have up to now restricted the development that these methods deserve. I think, in particular, and the many examples quoted in the text bear witness to this, that models today constitute an efficient means of research that have been refined through advances in the methods of reproduction, testing and measurement. They represent a reliable and above all safe method of investigation, suitable for use in the elastic range and beyond up to failure, as much for historic ancient monuments as for modern works and structures of particularly bold design that are frequently highly redundant. They are a particularly valuable tool in areas where analytical methods are inadequate, and yet always useful for comparison with analytical results. Guido Oberti Preface I have embarked on writing a text on the techniques of structural models for two basic reasons: Firstly because I wish to attempt in some measure a personal appreciation of the subject based on more than twenty years experience, insofar as this can be achieved in a logically coherent and complete treatise.

Download or read book Microseismic Monitoring and Geomechanical Modelling of CO2 Storage in Subsurface Reservoirs written by James P. Verdon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an impressive summary of the potential to use passive seismic methods to monitor the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 in geologic reservoirs. It brings together innovative research in two distinct areas – seismology and geomechanics – and involves both data analysis and numerical modelling. The data come from the Weyburn-Midale project, which is currently the largest Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project in the world. James Verdon’s results show how passive seismic monitoring can be used as an early warning system for fault reactivation and top seal failure, which may lead to the escape of CO2 at the surface.

Book excerpt: Modeling in Geomechanics Edited by Musharraf Zaman The University of Oklahoma, USA Giancarlo Gioda Politecnico di Milano, Italy John Booker University of Sydney, Australia Geomechanics is an interdisciplinary field involving the study of natural and man-made systems with emphasis on the mechanics of various interacting phenomena. It comprises numerous aspects of engineering and scientific disciplines, which share common bases in mathematics, mechanics and physics. In recent years, with the extraordinary growth of computing power and resources, progress in the generation of new theories and techniques for the analysis of geomechanics problems has far surpassed their actual use by practitioners. This has led to a gap between our ability to deal with complex, inter-disciplinary problems in geomechanics and the actual impact of these advances on engineering practice. This book contains contributions from an international group of accomplished researchers and practitioners from various branches of soil and rock engineering, and presents the latest theoretical developments and practical applications of modeling in geomechanics. Chapters are grouped into four main sections: * Computational procedures * Constitutive modeling and testing * Modeling and simulation * Applications Efforts have been made to include recent developments and provide suggestions and examples as to how these can be applied in modeling actual engineering problems. Researchers, practitioners and students in geomechanics, mechanics of solids, soil and rock engineering will find this book an invaluable reference.
