Short summary
Short summary
To improve early warnings for landslides driven by reservoir fluctuations and rainfall, this study introduces an adaptive computer modeling framework. By embedding environmental forces into the analysis, our method achieves sub-millimeter precision. Validated with ten years of field data, this tool detects landslide acceleration earlier to protect communities.

We developed a correction model based on laboratory data, taking into account elements such as fluid density and viscosity. Our model showed an ideal accuracy and outperformed other models. When applied in real situations, it significantly reduced the differences in calculated stresses for different fracturing fluids.

Short summary
Short summary
We estimate the slip susceptibility of the faults in the Yishu fault zone based on slip tendency analysis based on coupled tectonic stress profiles. Results show that the overall stress accumulation degree is relatively low. The overall seismic risk is not high in the study area, while a transition zone of seismic risk from medium to low exists in the southeastern part of Yishu fault zone. These results provide geomechanical evidence for evaluating the regional crustal dynamics.

Short summary
We use technical methods of instrument development, calibration experiments, and numerical simulations to develop a new type of in situ stress sensor group using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology, which can calculate the in situ stress state of surrounding rock mass by sensing the borehole wall strain. This sensor group lays an important theoretical and experimental foundation for the development and application of FBG hole wall strain gauge.
