Abstract

Copy of the chicago branch of https://github.com/lucas-schirbel/coulomb_stresses/, created on Jan 13, 2026. Computes static stress perturbations from long-term mass removal (e.g., rock extraction at a quarry), using Boussinesq's solution for a surface load distribution on an isotropic elastic half-space. Input data can be downloaded here: https://zenodo.org/records/18236078 Read through README.md file for sample code and other project specifics.
