Geological discontinuities have a controlling influence for many rock-engineering projects in terms of strength, deformability and permeability, but their characterisation is often very difficult. Whilst are modelled as lacking any rock masses visible only incipient tensile strength that may approach can even exceed the parent rock. This fact high importance realistic mass generally ignored. It argued current ISRM other standards characterisation, well classification schemes such RMR Q, do...
Abstract Multi-seam mining often leads to the retention of a significant number coal pillars for purposes such as protection, safety, or water isolation. However, stress concentration beneath these residual can significantly impact their strength and stability when below them, potentially leading hydraulic support failure, surface subsidence, rock bursting. To address this issue, linkage between failure instability strata during multi-seam is examined in study. Key controls include pillar...
Mineral grains serve as the basic units of rocks. Understanding rock materials at grain-scale level allows us to unveil underlying fundamental mechanisms, thereby facilitating development and innovation engineering solutions. This is especially significant amidst current energy sustainability transition, where many geomechanics applications require a shift towards more scientific, environmentally friendly, sustainable approaches. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) numerical tool that has been...
Abstract Granite formations have been frequently involved in subsurface energy‐related activities such as radioactive waste disposal, oil, and gas storage. This is principally because of their mechanical stability, low permeability, high corrosion resistance. These favorable properties, however, can be compromised by the addition mineral veins, which tend to occur ubiquitously upper crustal rock formations. Evaluation impact veins on integrity rupture characteristics granite, especially...
Geothermal reservoirs are highly anisotropic and heterogeneous, thus require a variety of structural geology, geomechanical, remote sensing, geophysical hydraulic techniques to inform Discrete Fracture Network flow models. Following the Paris Agreement on reduction carbon emissions, such have received more attention new that support models were developed. A comprehensive review is therefore needed merge innovative traditional technical approaches into coherent framework enhance extraction...
True persistence of rock discontinuities (areas with insignificant tensile strength) is an important factor controlling the engineering behaviour fractured masses, but extremely difficult to quantify using current geological survey methodologies, even where there good exposure. Trace length as measured in field or remote measurement devices actually only broadly indicative for practice and numerical modelling. Visible traces are treated if they were open fractures within mass...
