In this paper, the effects of weathering on durability and deformability properties for three
different types of granitoid rocks were investigated. Five weathering grades ranging from …

Numerous rock engineering applications require a reliable estimation of fracture
permeabilities to predict fluid flow and transport processes. Since measurements of fracture …

In recent years, several soft computing models have been proposed to estimate the elastic
modulus of magmatic rocks. However, there are lacks in models that consider the different …

The sorption characteristics of landfill silty clay soil (LSC), taken from AL Hammam landfill
site, as a retardation barrier of Zn 2+, Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ ions were investigated. LSC consists …

Fangshan Hanbaiyu is a typical white marble in China that was mainly used in high-grade
