This paper deals with the statistical analysis of the uniaxial compressive strength and of the elastic modulus of jointed rock masses under different confining pressures. Properties of the rock masses with different joint fabric, with and without gouge have been considered in the analysis. A large amount of experimental data of jointed rock masses from the literature has been compiled and used ...

1 INSTRODUCTION In the concept of geological radioactive waste disposal, argillite is being considered as a possible host rock in various countries such as France and Switzerland. This material is chosen thanks to its extremely low permeability that is required to limit the transfer of radioactive elements from the waste package towards the environment. During the construction and exploitation ...

Podocarpus lambertii Klotzsch ex Endl. (Podocarpaceae) is native and a member of the Pinophyta (Gymnosperm) of southern Brazil, locally known as 'pinheiro-bravo'. The present work aims to investigate the effects of petroleum on the tracheids dimensions. Wood samples from twenty individuals were studied along the stem, ten being exposed to pollution and ten used as a control set. The wood sample...

Abstract Submarine caldera volcanoes may host several hydrothermal systems along the wall and related to volcanic cones. Fluid boiling magmatic volatile influx are common processes in shallow (<2,000 mbsl) subduction zone‐related environments causing variations mineralogical chemical composition of seafloor mineralizations that remain poorly constrained. The submarine Niuatahi volcano, Tonga...

The Ab-Bid deposit, located in the Tabas-Posht e Badam metallogenic belt (TPMB) Central Iran, is largest Pb-Zn (±Cu) deposit Behadad-Kuhbanan mining district. Sulfide mineralization formed Middle Triassic carbonate rocks and contains galena sphalerite with minor pyrite, chalcopyrite, chalcocite, barite. Silicification dolomitization are main wall-rock alteration styles. Structural textural obse...
