The first 25 years of satellite carbonate sedimentology: What have we learned?
Observations of the suspension and transport of carbonate sediments from reefs, banks and shallow shelves have been made by satellite instruments for ca 25 years. With an increasing number of instruments in space, providing advanced observational capabilities, remarkable insights have been gained concerning carbonate sedimentological processes. Details

Effects of elevated ground temperatures on properties of cement grouts for deep rock grouting
When the temperature is up to 35°C, significant improvement in rheological parameters, acceleration of grout setting, and an increase in the rheological time dependence of thick cement grout can occur, but there may be a slight effect on the initial grout flowability and the nature of shear thinning.

The mechanical characteristics of three different types of sandstones under high stress levels are studied. The degree of fragmentation of specimens increases with the applied stress level. The acoustic emission counting of different types of sandstones presents three stages: weakening, stabilizing, and surging.

Different failure modes observed in Tishreen tunnel include Floor heave, wall spalling, crashing of slab, and lining convergence reaching the failure limit. Abstract Squeezing phenomena can lead to severe loads in deep tunnels, especially in the presence of a low ratio of surrounding rock strength to overburden pressure.
