Discussion of Factors influencing undrained strength of fine-grained soils at high water contents' by H. B. Nagaraj, M.V. Sravan and B. S. Deepa

摘要

Our in-house dynamic geomechanics finite element code is applied to study the MS cloud induced by hydraulic fracturing based on Barnett shale gas reservoir and we achieve some conclusions as below: (1) When a HF propagates to a longer length, more MS events would be triggered and the distance of the furthest activated NF normal to the HF becomes larger. The induced MS cloud length increases. The ratio between the MS cloud half-length and HF half-length increases.
