Performance of shallow anchor in ice-rich silt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2014Shallow anchor systems have been widely used for decades due to their time and cost efficiency. Yet when it comes to cold regions like Alaska, new challenges caused by the harsh environment need to be ...

Results of monitoring at the British library excavation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The main phase of excavation for the basements of the British Library at St Pancras, London, was completed in 1987. The project included basements extending up to 25 m deep, through the London Clay and into the Lambeth Group. The excavations were formed

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Study on Key Controlling Factors of Fracture Propagation by Shaped Charge Blasting in Coal Seams

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Gas drainage is the fundamental approach to controlling gas disasters in coal mines. For single low‐permeability coal seams, it should be supplemented by coal seam permeability enhancement technologies to improve gas drainage efficiency. This paper conducted a numerical simulation study on the key controlling factors affecting the fracturing effect of ...

Research on the Mechanism of Sand Bridge Stuck Drill in Deep Coal and Rock Gas Horizontal Wells

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Accounting for wellbore collapse debris and the bulldozer effect, this study develops models for permeable and impermeable sand bridge sticking in deep CBM horizontal wells, deriving resistance and volume formulations. Validated in Changqing, results show impermeable bridges dominate; controls (fluid optimization, staged drilling, circulation, speed ...

Calculation model for borehole collapse volume in horizontal openhole in formation with multiple weak planes

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2014
In view of borehole collapse in testing of horizontal wells, a calculation model for borehole collapse volume of horizontal open-hole in multiple-weak-plane formation was set up to analyze the factors affecting collapse volume.
