Digital reconstruction of three‐dimensional contours and its application to microstructural evaluation of postblast rock fissure surfaces

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In order to study the change rule of the fracture surface morphology after blasting, based on the improved cube covering method and the 3D contour digital reconstruction model, a quantitative microstructure characterization method combining the roughness evaluation index and the 3D fractal dimension is proposed, which is applied and validated in the ...

Indosinian tectonics in Vietnam

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2008
Abstract In Vietnam, the Triassic Indosinian collision affected coevally the Truong Son belt and the Kontum Massif,which were not independent tectonic units, but parts of the same Gondwana-derived Indochina continental block. This thermotectonic event took place synchronously throughout Vietnam, during the Lower Triassic 250–240-Ma time interval, as ...

In situ loading of a pore network model for quantitative characterization and visualization of gas seepage in coal rocks

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Fine modeling of a three‐dimensional fracture structure under dynamic loading of coal is carried out. The streamline distribution law of pressure and velocity field in the loading process of the coal specimen is analyzed, the absolute permeability of the coal specimen is calculated, and the feasibility of the pore network model algorithm and finite ...

An analytical solution of direction evolution of crack growth during progressive failure in brittle rocks

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel analytical method is proposed to evaluate the shear stress effect on the progressive compressive failure and microcrack growth direction in brittle rocks. The shear stress effect on the wing crack growth direction during the progressive compressive failure is determined. The initial crack angle effect on the y‐direction peak stress and the wing

Gas migration at the granite–bentonite interface under semirigid boundary conditions in the context of high‐level radioactive waste disposal

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A series of water infiltration tests and gas permeability tests were conducted on granite and granite–bentonite samples. According to the results, the interfaces between granite and bentonite and the damaged granite were considered to be the preferentcial pathway for gas migration.

Analysis of squeezing‐induced failure in a water tunnel and measure of rehabilitation: A case study of Tishreen tunnel, Syria

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Different failure modes observed in Tishreen tunnel include Floor heave, wall spalling, crashing of slab, and lining convergence reaching the failure limit. Abstract Squeezing phenomena can lead to severe loads in deep tunnels, especially in the presence of a low ratio of surrounding rock strength to overburden pressure.
