The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

Efficient breaking of hard rock and prevention and control of rock burst disasters are two key
concerns for construction in deep areas with high in-situ stresses and are two of the most …

An elastoplastic constitutive model based on the Modified Cam Clay (MCC) model is
developed to describe the mechanical behaviour of soils cemented via microbially induced …

Recent researches have proposed the use of enhanced geothermal system reservoirs
consisting of dense networks of microfractures, created by hydraulic and/or thermal …

Civil structures in the deep lithosphere are frequently exposed to thermal environments
resulting from geothermal gradients and dynamic disturbances caused by blasting …

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3‐D) inversion of regional lithospheric magnetic anomaly data
not only needs to be performed in the spherical coordinate system but also requires valid …

Developing high-enthalpy geothermal systems requires a sufficiently permeable formation to
extract energy through fluid circulation. Injection experiments above water's critical point …

Supercritical/superhot geothermal success depends on successful drilling. However,
wellbore stability in supercritical environments has not been investigated because imposing …

Localized deformation is the failure precursor of quasi-brittle rocks. The objective herein is to
propose an enhanced constitutive model incorporating the evolution of localized damage in …

In this study, we present results of an in situ stress state estimation for the Los Humeros
geothermal field (Mexico) located in the eastern section of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt …
