Failure characteristics and the energy criterion of rock with a through‐going joint under true‐triaxial unloading conditions: Insights from the DEM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The rock failure mode is significantly influenced by the contributing factors, such as the joint inclination, the initial confining pressure, and the unloading point. We found six typical rock failure modes after a large number of numerical tests. Abstract Excavation unloading damages rock masses, with preferential failure along geological defects in ...

A detrital zircon dataset for the eastern Central China Orogenic Belt (East Qinling, Dabie and Sulu orogens)

Geoscience Data Journal
The Qinling‐Dabie‐Sulu orogen is the eastern part of the Central China Orogenic Belt. Looking back on previous studies of the sedimentary record we systematically compiled the dataset of detrital zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotopes for this orogenic belt ...

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 ...

Nonsilting transport characteristics of coal slurry in a deep underground fluidization conveying pipeline under the action of a guide vane swirler

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Aiming at the scientific frontiers of in situ fluidized mining of deep resources, a deep coal fluidized pipeline lifting system based on hydraulic conveying has been proposed. To solve the issue of particle sedimentation of large particles in horizontal connection sections, a solution involving the installation of guide vane‐type swirlers in the ...

Numerical investigation on the influence of mesoscopic deformation on contact area and hydraulic aperture to fracture seepage

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Fluid flow through a single fracture is commonly described by the cubic law. However, deviations from this model are expected because natural fracture surfaces are rough and in contact with each other in discrete regions. In this study, the interactions between fracture closure, contact area, and hydraulic characterization of mesoscopic‐scale rough ...

Greenstone belt tectonics: Thermal constraints [PDF]

Archaean rocks provide a record of the early stages of planetary evolution. The interpretation is frustrated by the probable unrepresentative nature of the preserved crust and by the well known ambiguities of tectonic geological synthesis.
