geochemical characteristics of shear zone gold mineralization of kurdistan province

the gold mineralization in kurdistan province of iran was classified as shear zone gold type by some of the researchers. in the current study, the geochemical samples collected from the secondary environment, stream sediments, at the sw of saqquez area were used to investigate the geochemical characteristics of the gold mineralized zones in this environment. the multi-variant statistical analys...

Shear Viscosity of Clays to Compute Viscous Resistance

Soils at critical state are like a visco-plastic fluids, which will flow for applied stresses greater than the critical state (CS) shear strength. Shear viscosity is a key parameter to understand the post-failure flow response of soils in geotechnical applications such as landslides, jacked piles and cone penetrometers. Viscosity of soil has been investigated for water contents greater than the...

On the characteristics of landslide tsunamis

This review presents modelling techniques and processes that govern landslide tsunami generation, with emphasis on tsunamis induced by fully submerged landslides. The analysis focuses on a set of representative examples in simplified geometries demonstrating the main kinematic landslide parameters influencing initial tsunami amplitudes and wavelengths. Scaling relations from laboratory experime...
