Study on the composite fracture characteristics of filling and reinforcing cracked rock mass after high temperature damage

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Cement infill shares compressive and shear stresses during loading, while interfacial friction hinders crack propagation and reduces stress concentration, improving the rock's load‐bearing capacity. Failure modes vary with crack inclination. Unfilled specimens show four modes.

Carbonate Microfacies of the Coniacian–Santonian (Cretaceous) Deposits near the Kazerun Fault (Southwestern Iran): Evidence from Wells in a Divided Domain of the Zagros Basin

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Heterogeneities of Late Cretaceous tropical carbonate platforms of the Middle East are yet to be fully understood. The analysis of carbonate microfacies with materials obtained from exploration wells can contribute to filling the noted gap.

Active Tectonics and Alluvial Rivers [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2002
Flying into San Francisco, California, for the AGU Fall Meeting from the east coast of the United States, one sees an ever‐changing pattern of rivers below. From straight channels, the rivers take on a meandering pattern, become braided, and form oxbow lakes.

Numerical simulation study on the evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall in fractured rock mass

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall under different fracture conditions was examined by an artificial ground freezing‐based thermal‐hydraulic coupled model. It was observed that fracture inclination affects the interaction extent of freezing pipes and fracture, while phase transition extent is the dominant factor for heat transfer in

Comparative geospatial and statistical analysis of DEM-derived geomorphic indices from multiple datasets for assessing relative active tectonics

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Tectonic activity plays a vital role in achieving sustainable land management and hazard mitigation in seismically active regions. This study evaluates geomorphic indices derived from four digital elevation models (DEMs), including SRTM, Copernicus, FAB,

Modeling and experimental validation of bolt–grout bond–slip behavior for deep underground excavation support

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel shear‐lag model, validated by pull‐out tests, incorporates a constant bond stress stage to predict the complete load–displacement response of grouted rock bolts, providing a new tool for optimizing anchorage length and material toughness in deep underground engineering. Abstract The stability of rock masses in deep underground excavations, such

Active tectonics in the Kenya Rift

, 2022
Magmatische und tektonisch aktive Grabenzonen (Rifts) stellen die Vorstufen entstehender Plattengrenzen dar. Diese sich spreizenden tektonischen Provinzen zeichnen sich durch allgegenwärtige Abschiebungen aus, und die räumliche Verteilung, die Geometrie, und das Alter dieser Abschiebungen lässt Rückschlüsse auf die räumlichen und zeitlichen ...

Analytical stress solution framework for lined compressed air energy storage chambers and its application to safe burial depth determination and supporting effectiveness evaluation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
An analytical framework delivers a closed‐form stress solution for lined compressed air energy storage chambers, enabling the determination of the minimum safe burial depth. The solution quantitatively evaluates lining support effectiveness, offering a reliable tool for chamber design and optimization.

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of
