The breakthrough pressure of tight rocks is a critical parameter in the geological storage of
CO 2 and the extraction of unconventional natural gas resources. Breakthrough pressure …

The textural characteristics of rocks influence their petrophysical and mechanical properties.
Such parameters largely control rock mass stability. The ability to evaluate both immediate …

Since the nuclear waste releases heat during the decay process, the mechanical behaviors
of granites adjacent to the nuclear waste repository are inevitably impacted by the …

Mineral grain size caused by the geological diagenetic process is one of the fundamental
reasons leading to the differences in rock mechanical behaviors, which brings challenges to …

Rock aggregates constitute the enormous volume of inert construction material used around
the globe. The petrologic description as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic types …

Abstract Properties of aggregates are majorly influenced by parameters of source rocks viz.,
formation process, chemical composition, impurities, volume of pores, and grain size. The …

The attempts made to understand and quantify the relationship between rock texture and
engineering properties have been accompanied by some ambiguities and uncertainties …

This paper presents a review of the variation in the hydro-environment over the past four
decades in Wuhan, China, and discusses its close relationship with flash flood events …

The tunnelling operations connected to the construction of the new Norwegian E39 highway
generate a considerable amount of blasted rocks. The local use of these rocks as …

The strength of clay-rich sandstone decreases significantly when in contact with water due to
softening effects. This scenario can pose a severe threat to the stability of water diversion …
