Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Plagioclase as evidence of magmatic evolution in the Zafarqand porphyry copper deposit, NE Isfahan

Journal of Economic Geology, 2018
Introduction Chemical and textural zoning patterns preserved in plagioclase phenocrysts can provide useful information on parameters that constrains the changing melt compositions in the magma systems.

Rapakivi texture in porphyritic dikes within the Karavanke granitic massif (Slovenia) [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2002
The northern Karavanke Granitic Massif straddles the Slovenian–Austrian border. The investigated area lies in northern Slovenia, and extends from the western Slovenian–Austrian border to the east for about 30 km, with a maximum width of 2 km.

Exploring wave propagation behaviors in rock: A grain‐based perspective on mineral structures

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates wave propagation in rock at the grain scale using a grain‐based model, revealing that mineral elastic modulus significantly influences wave attenuation while grain size and distribution have limited effects. A novel peak particle velocity attenuation prediction model is proposed and validated for grain‐scale wave propagation ...

Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...

A History of Andesite Production via Magma Mixing and Mingling Revealed Microscopically at Ngauruhoe Volcano

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Many andesites erupted at arc volcanoes are the products of magma mixing, and this process could be important in triggering their eruption. Throughout the life of Ngauruhoe volcano (∼2.5 ka), erupted andesites lack macroscopic enclaves or lithological ...

Numerical and experimental study on P‐wave propagation across a rock joint with different orientations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...
