Large-scale slope destabilization could be aggravated due to swift urbanization and ever-rising demands of geoengineering projects such as dams, tunnels, bridges widening roads. National Highway-58 connects Delhi Badrinath in India, which passes through complex geomorphological geological terrain often encounters cut slopes susceptible failures. In the present investigation, a detailed geotechnical appraisal is conducted along road from Rishikesh Devprayag Himalayas. Twenty vulnerable were...
Slope stability is of significant importance for sustainable development in mining, civil-engineering, and urban planning. This paper attempted to assess the conditions road cut debris slopes along National Highway-7 (NH-7), Uttarakhand, India. The engineering parameters slope forming materials other inputs used analysis were evaluated based on different geotechnical tests such as direct shear strength, density test, rock hardness tests, particle size analysis, Atterberg limits, XRD finer...
Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India, witnessed unprecedented damage to life, property, infrastructure, and landscape due flash flood triggered on 7th February 2021. During winters, massive debris flow in the Raunthi Gad catchment put a great ambiguity disaster preparedness. Sustained heavy precipitation for two days prior event wedge failure structural favorability might have aided landslide rock-avalanche. Due landslide, impounding river waters resulted temporary dam creation Rishiganga...
Deformational shale attributes such as fracture toughness, tensile strength, and axial point load strength (PLS) index under elevated temperatures are crucial for the petroleum gas industries. Here, an attempt has been made to investigate thermal response of from room temperature 400°C. Three-point bending (TPB) test using semi-circular (SCB) specimen, Brazilian test, were conducted evaluate mode-I PLS index, respectively, with varying temperatures. Additionally, X-ray Diffraction (XRD)...
Pore characterization of shale has gained attention over the years because it provides a good estimate total storage capacity gas reservoir. Ib Valley is potential reservoir in India, and this study systematic pore analysis these Barakar Formation shales. A combination low-pressure adsorption high-resolution scanning electron microscopy coupled with image was used to characterize structure size distribution. The changes attributes increasing depth, varying mineral composition, organic matter...
