Two large-scale north-dipping, low-angle normal faults cut the Everest massif at the top of the High Himalayan slab in Nepal. The upper fault the Qomolangma Detachment, follows the north slope of Everest from above the ‘Yellow Band’ at c. 8500 m on the Southwest Face down to the Rongbuk glacier. On the south side of Everest this fault places unmetamorphosed Ordovician mudstones and limestones a...

Abstract Granite is fractured according to the stress state during cooling stage, providing predispositions for later topographic evolution. This study clarified that triangular mesh‐like joints can be made granite and they become structural causes formation of rock towers corestones on ground. Tengu rock, which consists in Hiroshima, was investigated using an unmanned air vehicle. The were sha...

Abstract Granite rocks are currently one of the foremost raw materials that can be used for various economic purposes such as ornamentation and building materials, because they do not possess radioactive concentrations have good physical mechanical properties. The granite north Um Taghir connected to neoproterozoic integrated Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS), which lies in Northeast Africa. Inductiv...

The Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron, age 1636 ± 66 Ma of Mirgarani granite, is the one oldest granite dated in northwestern part Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC). initial Sr ratio 0.715 0.012 (MSWD = 0.11), showing an S-type affinity. has intruded migmatite complex Dudhi Group and forms formation comparable to granites Bihar Mica Belt around Hazaribagh (1590 30 Ma). present studies have est...

Wolfram mineralization in the area of Vau village (Dong Giang district, Quang Nam province) is distributed along small stream together with other sulfide mineralizations form to large boulders. Ore minerals are mainly sheelite, pyrhotite, arsenopyrite a little chalcopyrite and pyrite. The ore stockwork type gray, light gray metamorphic sedimentary rocks quartz - mica composition alternated feld...

Abstract The core objective of the present study is to develop an added value cement–granite composite (CGC) based on granite (G) scraps and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). were collected, washed, ground, sieved, finest powder was used as inorganic admixture for developing CGC. Plain water granite–cement thoroughly mixed. obtained pastes casted 28 days prior their physical, structural, thermal ...

Abstract In recent times, sustainable production of concrete is now considered a major issue due to continuous depletion raw resources. Thus, this current study investigates the physical and strength performance eco-friendly produced with combination periwinkle (PWS) palm kernel shells (PKS) used as an alternative for granite. Two mix ratios 1:2:4 1:1.5:3 (cement: sand: granite) were 28-day tar...
