Abstract: The accurate flow measurement of each individual phase is important in unsaturated flow through rock joints, where both air and water phases flow together. An increase in the quantity of one fluid phase decreases the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of the presence of a joint (vertically or horizontally oriented) on the hydromechanical behavior of sandstone under undrained triaxial conditions. A series of undrained triaxial ...

Abstract: This research study deals with the characterization of two-phase flow in a fractured rock mass. A comprehensive mathematical model with which to predict the quantity of each flow component in a single joint is developed. ...

Abstract: Limitations on the joint orientations for which a joint is free to fail exclusively by sliding (without the need for rupture of intact material), for a given specimen height-to-diameter ratio (

Abstract: The Industrial Revolution has led to a substantial increase in the emission of greenhouse gas (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (

Abstract: Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of synthetic biochar mixed clays (BMC) treated with lime-GGBS has been investigated. Biochar utilized in this study was produced from the slow pyrolysis of green waste residue. Treated ...

Abstract: Coal is usually highly heterogeneous. Great variation in properties can exist among samples obtained even at close proximity within the same seam or within the same core sample. This makes it difficult to establish a ...
