Upper bound limit analysis of coral reef limestone cavern roof stability incorporating a tension‐shear failure mechanism with tensile‐strength cut‐off

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
For the roof of coral reef limestone caverns, a novel tension‐shear composite failure mechanism was developed. The most critical tensile crack model was identified using a hybrid optimization algorithm, and the stability of the cavern roof was analyzed accordingly.

Sedimentology of the Mid-Visean limestones of the southern part of the Askrigg Block, North Yorkshire

, 1984
The earliest Carboniferous deposits, resting with profound unconformity on Lower Palaeozoic rocks, have been mapped across their entire outcrop area on the Askrigg Block.

The early Pliocene Titiokura Formation: stratigraphy of a thick, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic shelf succession in Hawke's Bay Basin, New Zealand

, 2004
This paper presents a systematic stratigraphic description of the architecture of the early Pliocene Titiokura Formation (emended) in the Te Waka and Maungaharuru Ranges of western Hawke's Bay, and presents a facies, sequence stratigraphic, and ...

Probabilistic prediction of rate‐dependent rock strength using natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Probabilistic natural gradient boosting and Gaussian process regression models accurately predict rate‐dependent rock strength across lithologies. Static strength and strain rate dominate, while geometric factors have minimal influence, enabling interpretable and uncertainty‐aware predictions for dynamic geomechanical applications. Abstract The dynamic

Analyses of limestones and shales

, 1907
The limestones were analyzed to determine their value for cement and lime manufacture, and were taken from several counties in the state of Missouri. Most of the limestones examined were very pure.

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...

Simulating past and future refugia for temperate trees in northern Italy

Ecography, EarlyView.
During the Quaternary, trees responded to the climatic changes of glacial–interglacial cycles with large‐scale range shifts. Over cold glacials, temperate tree species contracted their ranges and survived in areas known as refugia. Several studies point to the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), in Veneto, northern Italy, as one of the northernmost ...

Textural Variations in Some Iowa Limestones

, 1958
Textural properties of limestones assume a large importance in determining the origin of the rocks. Limestones are usually called detrital rocks if they possess oolitic, pelleted or coquoinoid texture (Pettijohn, 1957, p. 401).

Spatial Variations in Methane Content and Their Main Controlling Factors of the Deep‐Buried Coalbed in the Nalinhe–Hengshan Area, Ordos Basin

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Ash yield is the primary geological factor controlling the spatial variations in the total gas content of the deep‐buried coalbed methane in the Nalinhe‐Hengshan area, Ordos Basin. However, porosity dominates the differential enrichment of the free gas content of the deep‐buried coalbed methane in the Nalinhe‐Hengshan area, Ordos Basin.

Reactivity of limestones from different sources in Turkey

, 2004
This paper presents a study on the reactivity of natural limestones from five deposits in Turkey. The conversion rates of carbonates in size fractions of the samples were measured in a stirred suspension of 2.5 1 at 20 degreesC and a constant-pH value of
