Transition from Vertical to Lateral Diking at the Neutral Buoyancy Line

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Andreas Möri, Dmitriy Garagash

Buoyant hydraulic fractures (HF) are a viable approach to model propagating magmatic intrusions in the lithosphere. Solutions for fully planar three-dimensional (3D) HF suggest the existence of a family of solutions as a function of fluid and solid propert ...

Efficacy of SCMs to mitigate ASR in systems with higher alkali contents assessed by pore solution method

Karen Scrivener, Lionel Sofia, Marie Joshua Tapas

This study demonstrates the efficacy of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) even when used in conjunction with cement of higher alkali contents (up to 1% Na2Oeq). The expansion of concrete prisms was studied ...

Rock strength properties of granitic rocks in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California

Federica Sandrone, Michel Jaboyedoff

Yosemite National Park, located in the central part of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, is a glacially carved landscape filled with iconic rock formations such as Cathedral Peak, El Capitan, and Half Dome. Igneous rocks, consisting primarily of variat ...

Distributed snow and rock temperature modelling in steep rock walls using Alpine3D

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

In this study we modelled the influence of the spatially and temporally heterogeneous snow cover on the surface energy balance and thus on rock temperatures in two rugged, steep rock walls on the Gemsstock ridge in the central Swiss Alps. The heterogeneous ...

Analysis and estimation of gripper TBM performances in highly fractured and faulted rocks

Federica Sandrone, Jian Zhao, Erika Paltrinieri

This paper focuses on performance analysis of Tunnel Boring Machine (in particular gripper TBMs) in highly jointed rock masses and fault zones. In order to investigate possible relationships between these difficult excavation conditions and TBM performance ...

A hydromechanical approach to assess CO2 injection-induced surface uplift and caprock deflection

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

This study focuses on the derivation of a semi-analytical approach for the evaluation of surface uplift and caprock deflection induced by underground injection of CO2. The adopted methodology includes the development of a mathematical model that incorporat ...

Two-stage annealing of a cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si alloy with different microchemistry states

Ke Huang

The influence of microchemistry on the softening behaviour of two cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si alloys with different initial amounts of Mn (0.4 and 1.0 wt%) is studied. In addition to their as-cast conditions, the supersaturated Al–Mn–Fe-Si alloys were appropri ...

A Microstructure-Based Model to Characterize Micromechanical Parameters Controlling Compressive and Tensile Failure in Crystallized Rock

Jian Zhao, Tohid Kazerani

A discrete element model is proposed to examine rock strength and failure. The model is implemented by UDEC which is developed for this purpose. The material is represented as a collection of irregular-sized deformable particles interacting at their cohesi ...

Introduction of an empirical TBM cutter wear prediction model for pyroclastic and mafic igneous rocks; a case history of Karaj water conveyance tunnel, Iran

Jian Zhao

One of the main cost items in tunneling projects using tunnel boring machines (TBMs) in rock and soil is the cost of changing of damaged or worn cutting tools. Cutter change is a time consuming activity which can have a major impact on the daily advance ra ...

Coupled semi‐analytical approach of CO2 injection induced caprock deflection

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Li

This study focuses on a specific problem related to the caprock deformation induced by the in-jection of CO2 at depth. The adopted methodology includes the development of a mathematical model that incorporates the deformable behaviour of storage media and ...
