Abstract The attenuation relationship of ground motion based on seismology has always been a front subject of engineering earthquake. Among them, the regional finite-fault source model is very important. In view of this point, the general characteristics of regional seism-tectonics, including the dip and depth of the fault plane, are emphasized. According to the statistics of regional seism-tectonics and focal mechanisms in Sichuan, China, and the sensitivity of estimated peak ground acceleration (PGA) attenuation is analyzed, and the dip angle is taken as an average of 70°. Based the statistics of the upper crustal structure and… More >

Abstract In oil & gas drilling engineering, the rock breaking efficiency as well as the trajectory of the Well should be quantitatively and accurately described by an ideal triaxial Rate of Penetration (ROP) model, taking into account the various objective and subjective factors. However, with the existing triaxial ROP models, it is difficult to achieve these goals. The applications of the existing ROP models are limited, especially in under-balanced drilling (air drilling, foam drilling etc.), because the unloading effect (i.e. the effect of the bottom hole differential pressure on the formation force) has been rarely considered.… More >
