Assessment of Stress Perturbations Induced by Reservoir Loading and Their Compatibility with Reservoir-Triggered Seismicity: The Case of the Irapé Hydropower Plant, Brazil
Reservoir-triggered seismicity (RTS) is commonly associated with stress perturbations induced by reservoir loading and pore-pressure diffusion within fractured rock masses. Shortly after the initial impoundment of the Irapé Hydropower Plant (Minas Gerais, Brazil), a sequence of induced earthquakes was recorded, providi...
