Main features of mudslides in tectonised highly fissured clay shales
Mudslides are widespread in the world, especially in areas occupied by highly-fissured plastic stiff clays. Despite their strong impact on structures, infrastructures and, in general, human activity, the knowledge concerning the causes and mechanisms of mudslides is still rather limited. The paper reports some results of long-term research on mudslides in tectonised highlyfissured plastic clay ...
متن کاملPattern formation in sedimentary rocks: Connectivity, permeability, and spatial correlations
Sedimentary rocks have complicated permeability patterns arising from the geological processes that formed them. We concentrate on pattern formation in one particular geological process, avalanches (grain flow) in wind-blown or fluvial sands. We present a simple experiment and numerical model of how these avalanches cause segregation in particle size that lead to characteristic laminated patter...
متن کاملAnomalous Iron Distribution in Shales as a Manifestation of "non-clastic Iron" Supply to Sedimentary Basins: Relevance for Pyritic Shales, Base Metal Mineralization, and Oolitic Ironstone Deposits
In previous investigations, nearshore pyritic shale horizons in the Mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation were interpreted to be due to "non-clastic" colloidal iron supply by streams. New data on the chemical composition of shales in the Newland Formation support this interpretation. In these shales, Fe and Al show a positively correlated trend that intercepts the Fe axis above the origin. These re...
متن کاملSealing Shales versus Brittle Shales: A Sharp Threshold in the Material Properties and Energy Technology Uses of Fine-Grained Sedimentary Rocks
Fine-grained sedimentary rocks (shale and mudstone) play important roles in global CO2 abatement efforts through their uses in carbon capture and storage (CCS), radioactive waste storage, and shale gas extraction. These different technologies, however, rely on seemingly conflicting premises regarding the sealing properties of shale and mudstone, suggesting that those rocks that lend themselves ...
متن کاملTreatment of a Mandibular Fracture by Two Perpendicular Mini-Plates
Introduction: In open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of mandibular fracture, the fixation technique used is very important in reducing post-operative complications and promoting the healing process. This study assessed the results of fixation of the mandible using two mini-plates perpendicular to each other in the lower border of the mandible for fracture treatment. Materi...
