Ground vibration isolation using mass scatters: A comparative study with trench barriers and wave‐impeding blocks

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Ground‐borne vibrations are a frequent source of environmental problems. A full‐scale experiment is conducted to validate a 3D numerical model in order to analyze the efficiency of three methods of isolation. Trench barriers and wave‐impeding blocks are impractical and expensive methods of isolation, but mass scatters appear to be an efficient ...

Slit tube responses and rock fracture characteristics in slit charge blasting under high in situ stress

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this article, the finite element method‐smoothed particle hydrodynamics adaptive coupling algorithm is applied to numerically simulate and analyze the dynamic response of the slit tube and the crack propagation under high in situ stress. The dynamic response of the slit tube mainly exhibits radial response in the vertical direction of the slit and ...

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 ...

Gels for CO2 geo‐storage and conformance control: A systemic review of behavior and performance

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review provides a systemic evaluation of potential sealants used in CO2 subsurface storage practices. Critical analyses of how external factors like CO2, pH, brine salinity and hardness, rock mineralogy, pressure, temperature, and injectivity could affect the performance of different sealants are provided. Abstract Carbon capture and storage (CCS)
