units in Egypt. It is of importance to the apogee of the ancient Egyptian civilization …

Jebel Hafit is situated along the border of Oman and the UAE near the city of El Ain, and was
subject to numerous studies. It is a key analogue of some of the hydrocarbon producing …

Temperature fluctuations from climatic cycles can induce thermo-mechanical fatigue,
impacting the stability of rock masses, specially in shallow bedrocks and slopes. This …

Most of the rock exposures around Al Ain city are carbonate rocks dating from the Early
Eocene. These rocks constitute the foundational bedrock for most of the city. The rocks are …

The limestone formations within Batu Cave, situated in the Selangor region represent a
significant geological phenomenon in Malaysia, capturing the attention of engineers due to …

This study investigates the relationship between slake durability indices and geomechanical
characteristics of five types of carbonate rocks situated in the west of Iran along the Doruod …
