High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from ood release structures of dams, may result in scouring of the rocky riverbed and even endanger the foundation of the dams. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant ...
With the advance of technology, TBMs are becoming more versatile and TBM tunnelling has become a common tunnelling method. As TBM tunnelling is a special excavation method depending on the interaction between machine and rock mass under a certain geologica ...
The aim of the TIMODAZ project is to investigate the effect of thermal changes on the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) around nuclear deep disposals in clay-based geological formations. In the framework of WP5.2 of this project, it is intended to develop cons ...
Conducting mesoporous TiO2 is rapidly gaining importance for green energy applications. To optimise performance, its porosity and crystallinity must be carefully fine-tuned. To this end, we have performed a detailed study on the temperature dependence of T ...
A three-phase medium model is proposed in describing the dynamic property of filled rock joints and an analytical study on longitudinal wave transmission normally across a three-phase rock joint is presented. Parameters in the three-phase medium model were ...
Laboratory experiments carried out at the LMR-EPFL on thick-walled hollow cylindrical samples aim at modelling at small-scale conditions similar to those that will be experienced by host rocks around disposal galleries for heat emitting radioactive waste. ...
Due to the difficulties of fracture mechanics in dealing with multicrack problems, the continuum-based numerical methods always encounter mathematical problems when modeling rock fragmentation, so the alternative discontinuum-based numerical approaches are ...
In the past, the safety margin for dynamic water pressure loads in steel-lined pressure tunnels and shafts was considered as acceptable by using conventional design safety factors. Due to high peak energy demands, existing plants are operating nowadays und ...
Different methods are presently available for the analysis of wave propagation across jointed rock masses with the consideration of multiple wave reflections between joints. These methods can be divided into two categories. One is based on the displacement ...
Stromatolites have been extensively used as indicators of ancient life on Earth. Although much work has been done on modern stromatolites, the extent to which biological processes control their structure, and the respective contributions of biological and ...
