Abstract: The disturbed rock zone constitutes an important geomechanical element of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. The science and engineering underpinning the disturbed rock zone provide the basis for evaluating ongoing operational ...

Abstract: Power laws are widely used in hydraulic engineering because they are simple compact expressions that generate straight lines on log-log paper. The relationship between hydraulic gradient and bulk velocity for one-dimensional ...

Abstract: Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) and soil-cement are similar materials, in that they both are of zero-slump consistency and are placed and compacted with earth-moving or paving equipment. The construction methods used to ...

Abstract: This paper, the second in a series of two, presents the results of a rock mechanics evaluation of the Weeks Island dome salt mine. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the structural ...

Abstract: Since their introduction, main engine fuel pumping systems for aircraft gas turbine engines have remained relatively unchanged. The main engine fuel pump has been an engine accessory gearbox ...
