An analytical solution of direction evolution of crack growth during progressive failure in brittle rocks

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel analytical method is proposed to evaluate the shear stress effect on the progressive compressive failure and microcrack growth direction in brittle rocks. The shear stress effect on the wing crack growth direction during the progressive compressive failure is determined. The initial crack angle effect on the y‐direction peak stress and the wing

Gas migration at the granite–bentonite interface under semirigid boundary conditions in the context of high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of water infiltration tests and gas permeability tests were conducted on granite and granite–bentonite samples. According to the results, the interfaces between granite and bentonite and the damaged granite were considered to be the preferentcial pathway for gas migration.

A comprehensive study on in situ stress field characteristics and changes in rock mechanical properties in deep mines in northeastern Yunnan, China

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper studies the distribution characteristics of the current in situ stress field in northeast Yunnan Province by using multisource stress data, including in situ stress measurements, focal mechanism solutions, and borehole damage information, and comprehensively determines the in situ stress magnitude and direction in the mining area.

A review of multiscale numerical modeling of rock mechanics and rock engineering

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Multiscale numerical methods of rock mechanics and rock engineering are reviewed, and the review results show that more attention should be paid to the development of an advanced constitutive model in addition to numerical techniques themselves. Abstract Rock is geometrically and mechanically multiscale in nature, and the traditional phenomenological ...

Petrogenetic and geochemical characteristics of some auriferous granitoids in the Kumasi Basin, Ghana: Implications for geodynamic settings and controls of orogenic gold mineralization in the Edikan Gold Mine

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Fobinso granitoids are granodiorites, while the Esuajah granitoids are granites based on their mineralogical composition. The granitoids are generally enriched in LILE and LREE than HFSE, MREE, and HREE, indicating mixing with crustal sources during their evolution.

Naturally occurring volatile organic compounds in deep bedrock groundwater

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
In deep continental bedrock groundwater, volatile organic compounds pose intriguing questions about their occurrence. Although their natural sources remain poorly characterized, they potentially have profound effects on global elemental cycles and safety
