The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rocks is an important geotechnical parameter required for designing geotechnical and mining engineering projects. Obtaining accurate estimates of the rock mass UCS parameter throughout a 3D geological model of the deposit is vital for determining optimum rock slope stability, designing new exploratory and blast boreholes, mine planning, optimizi...

With the development of computer technology and geological modeling study of the gradual maturity, 3D for the engineering geological modeling and information visualization analysis system of opportunities and challenges brought about. Have carried on the detailed introduction to the three dimensional geological modeling tool and the method. Summarized the three dimensional geological modeling b...

The Tolbachan suite presents the complex mining and geological conditions for development Mir primary diamond deposit at depths of 1000 to 1400 meters. resumption operations field requires a comprehensive study host rocks, especially in formation intervals high-pressure reservoirs mixed fluid saturation. lithological features determination main physical mechanical parameters were carried out 20...

Here we demonstrate a model that combines Tweets following significant earthquakes with basic site and earthquake characteristics to produce a rapid estimate of the ground shaking intensity. We used all geo-tagged Tweets around the world containing the keyword “earthquake” or “tsunami” in several languages that occurred in the first 10 minutes following Japanese earthquakes of magnitude 6 or gr...

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an effective and practical geophysical imaging tool, with a wide set of applications in geological mapping of subsurface information. This research study aims at determination of the geophysical parameter differences in the subsurface geological structures and construction of a 3D fracture model. GPR and resistivity methods were applied to detect the unstable t...

EFFECTS OF CARBONATION ON THE MINERAL COMPOSITION OF CEMENT KILN DUST By Cecilia P. Anderson Department of Geological & Mining Engineering & Sciences

China has vast reserves of shale gas. Currently, shale gas is one of the focuses of the unconventional reservoir. Well logs play an import role in shale gas production, and it is the bridge connecting geology, geophysics and petroleum engineering. In the exploration stage, well logs are used to identify lithology, evaluate the parameters of mineral types and compositions, total organic carbon (...
