An experimental study on the correlation between the elastic wave velocity and microfractures in coal rock from the Qingshui basin
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to study the impact of microfractures on the elastic wave velocity, multi-azimuth elastic wave velocity experiments were performed with coal rock samples under a confining pressure similar to the one in the buried coal strata of the Qinshui basin. The results indicate that (1) the microfractures in coal rock reduce the elastic wave velocity. In the experiments, the velocity was increased with a confining pressure. However, when the confining pressure was increased to 10 MPa, the velocity became stable because most of the microfractures in the coal rock samples were closed. (2) The elastic wave velocity is sensitive to the microfracture orientation in coal rock. The elastic wave propagates rapidly along the microfracture direction, while it propagates slowly perpendicular to the microfracture direction. This research provides the basic data to predict microfractures in coal rock.

Wave propagation is used as an advanced tool of determining elastic properties of rocks. In spite of being cheap and non destructive tests of rock mechanics, due to its modernity method is not yet replacing the traditional dear and destructive tests. In order to pave ways of replacing this test and making best use of it all effective factors of such method are to be assessed. One fundamental fa...

Unconventional resources are typically very complex to model, and the production from this type of reservoirs is influenced by such complexity in their microstructure. This microstructure complexity is normally reflected in their geophysical response, and makes them more difficult to interpret. Rock physics play an important role to resolve such complexity by integrating different subsurface di...

The purpose of this study was to develop a model for the estimation of rock mass classification of Sarvak limestone in the Bakhtiari dam site, south-west (SW) Iran. Q system had been used as the starting point for the rock mass classification. This method was modified for sedimentary rock mass which is known as Qsrm. Because Qsrm considers a wide range of rock mass propert...

The impact of blast-driven shocks on the safety and stability of the underground coal mines has been well established. The seismic imperfections resulting from blasting depend on the total explosive energy released during blasting and the closeness of the development tunnel face to the stope face. Also, the quality of the rock mass wherein the whole stope face is located might pose considerable...
