Groundwater is a dynamic, finite, and vulnerable but resilient natural resource to be
protected in an environmentally sustainable manner. Groundwater systems require a …

A fractured rock mass was characterized by strong heterogeneity, discontinuity, and
anisotropy. The study of flow in a fractured rock mass was a complex and challenging task …

Maps are of fundamental topical importance in the geology and engineering practice, mainly
in field data surveys, synthesis and communication related to several domains, such as …

Groundwater resources have been extensively exploited in many areas around the globe for
providing good quality water for drinking and other purposes. Groundwater flow models …

Orientation statistics are prone to bias when surveyed with the scanline mapping technique
in which the observed probabilities differ, depending on the intersection angle between the …

The rock mass quality in underground excavations and or tunnelling is a key issue in the
design of the most suitable support to ground stability. This work aims to discuss the …

The distribution of structural planes is complex and irregular. How to quickly and effectively
obtain the occurrence and distribution characteristics of structural planes and improve the …

The main goal of the research is to present a methodological approach based on
geotechnologies to acquire, process and analyse high-resolution 3D data to support …

Abstract The Venda Nova hydroelectric repowering schemes consist of two fully
underground hydraulic circuits, more than 4 km long, situated on the left bank of the …

This work aims to emphasise the importance of geoengineering software use on the study of
rock-mass classifications for rock engineering design and ground behaviour. This approach …
