Assessment of Karstification Degree in the Copacabana Group for a Tailings Dam Foundation, South Andes, Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The world-wide occurrence of carbonate rocks is extensive, and Peru is no exception. Many mining facilities are located in or on carbonate rocks. Under specific conditions, carbonate rocks show varying degrees of karstification, which represent a ...

Review and prospects of shear test of bolted rock joints

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The laboratory shear test equipment, test method, and numerical simulation of bolted rock joints were summarized. The shortcomings and limitations of the current research were analyzed, and the research prospects were proposed. Abstract Rock bolting is a critical approach in geotechnical engineering for supporting weak rocks.

Dualism of geology and geotechnical engineering: two parallel approaches to define lake water infiltration into an interlobate esker

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract This case study is a modern example of how geologists and engineers have worked together to reconcile groundwater abstraction from the Pispalanharju aquifer and urban planning of the shore of Lake Näsijärvi in the vicinity of the Hyhky pumping station, located in the Tampere region of southern Finland.

Temperature‐dependent shear behavior and constitutive model of the rock–concrete interface

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Shear tests were conducted to investigate the temperature‐dependent shear behavior of the rock–concrete interface, highlighting the interaction between the surrounding rock and the lining during tunnel fires. Under experimental conditions, concrete exhibited greater temperature sensitivity than rock, with the shear fracture surface transitioning from ...

Platinum Group Element Traces of CAMP Volcanism Associated With Low‐Latitude Environmental and Biological Disruptions

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A review on rockburst prediction and prevention to shape an ontology‐based framework for better decision‐making for underground excavations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A scientometric analysis of 2449 journal articles and a comprehensive review of 336 papers were conducted, discussing and identifying challenges and research gaps in rockburst prediction and prevention and proposing an ontology‐based framework for better decision‐making in underground excavations. Abstract With underground engineering projects becoming

Monte Carlo simulation for variable-density groundwater flow through reduced-order model coupled with Gaussian process

open access: yesShuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi
Variable-density groundwater flow (VDGF) is jointly driven by hydraulic and density gradient, leading to strong nonlinearity, large computational burden of numerical models, and therefore huge computational cost of Monte Carlo simulation for uncertainty ...

Relating in situ hydraulic conductivity, particle size and relative density of superficial deposits in a heterogeneous catchment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Estimating the permeability of superficial deposits is fundamental to many aspects of catchment science, but can be problematic where insufficient in situ measurements are available from pumping tests in piezometers.

Investigation on hard‐rock breaking performance and auxiliary mechanism of picks assisted with both‐sided high‐pressure water jets

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper investigates the high‐pressure water jet‐pick combined rock‐breaking mode (HPC), which employs high‐pressure water jets to precut grooves on both sides of the picks. The rock‐breaking patterns and performance of the HPC method are obtained, and the auxiliary rock‐breaking mechanism of water jet grooving is revealed.
