A roof fall hazard is still one of the major threats in the underground mining industry. Each
such type of event always brings great risk to miners and causes serious interruptions in the …

This work reviews various studies of hydraulic and pneumatic tomography for estimation of
flow properties of fractured geologic media with hydraulic and pneumatic tomography. The …

In this study, we infer the structural and hydraulic properties of the highly fractured zone at
the Grimsel Test Site in Switzerland using a stochastic inversion method. The fractured rock …

The study focuses on detecting permeable fracture zones in the Menengai geothermal
reservoir, accessed through wells MW-15A, 34, and MW20B. Utilizing acoustic borehole …

Optical Televiewer (OTV) and Acoustic Televiewer (ATV) are cornerstones of establishing
borehole imaging logging systems. OTV provides the intuitive analysis of lithology and …

The original DDARF (discontinuous deformation analysis for rock failure) can only generate
uniform grids, and the increase in the number of grids reduces the efficiency of calculation …

The exploration and management of abundant economic mineral resources of Pakistan,
particularly the vast marble deposits in the northwestern region, hold immense potential for …

One of the considerations in mining excavation is geotechnical conditions especially
structure orientation. Its observations can be done on the surface or through the drill core …

Fracture networks are the main pathways for groundwater flow and transport especially in
rocks with a low-permeability matrix. For this reason, the presence, connectivity, and …

The Menengai geothermal field is in central Kenya, within the Menengai quaternary caldera
volcano, which is an oval depression with minor and major axes measuring about 8 and 12 …
