Abstract:

A theory is presented which accounts for a particular aspect of nonlinearity caused by the deviation of plume "particles" from their mean trajectory in three-dimensional, statistically homogeneous but anisotropic porous media under an exponential covariance of log hydraulic conductivities. Quasilinear expressions for the time-dependent nonlocal dispersivity and spatial covariance tensors of ensemble mean concentration are derived, as a function of time, variance σᵧ² of log hydraulic conductivity, degree of anisotropy, and flow direction. One important difference between existing linear theorie

Abstract:

The dynamic response of various geological materials has been investigated through a series of plate impact experiments. The materials involved were supplied from various mines by De Beers and Rio Tinto and were generically termed: sandstone, scilified siltstone, kimberlite, quartz/feldspathic gneiss, biotite schist, amphibolite, amphibolitic gneiss, basalt and iron ore. Investigations into compressional, shear and tensional behaviour were carried out. This project was part of a larger international study to develop models for the explosive loading of rock in a mining environment. This model i

Os escorregamentos de taludes de corte rodoviários verificados na região entre as cidades de Jarinu e Campo Limpo Paulista, ambas no estado de São Paulo, são derivados da atuação conjunta do intemperismo, da presença de estruturas reliquiares, e sua geometria, e das técnicas construtivas. Dentre estes fatores, as estruturas reliquiares (foliação e fraturas) desempenham o papel mais importante, pois os escorregamentos ocorrem quando há incompatibilidade entre as atitudes das estruturas e a geometria dos taludes de corte facilitando os escorregamentos, principalmente quando a face de taludes é p

Abstract:

This thesis investigated the shock compression and fragmentation of ge- ological materials with application to blast mining. Two geological materi- als were investigated; Lake Quarry Granite and Gosford Sandstone. Lake Quarry Granite was fully dense, while Gosford Sandstone was porous. The composition and microstructure of the materials were quanti ed and this information was later used in the analysis of their mechanical properties. The elastic sound speeds were measured for each material, from which their elastic moduli were derived. Gosford Sandstone had a reduced sound speed compared to it

This thesis investigates pressure stimulated voltages (PSVs) in manmade and geological materials using a field capable and commercially viable electric potential sensor (EPS) technology. Sensing technologies are of great importance for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of manmade and geological structures and are critical for improving the health and safety of humans and infrastructure. A wide variety of sensing technologies are needed to assess damage over structures.

The available instrumental methods for platinum group element (PGE: Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt) and gold (Au) determinations are reviewed. Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) enable rapid, multi-elemental analysis, their instrumental and analytical characteristics being discussed here. The suitability of ICP techniques to quantitatively determine the PGEs + Au is demonstrated. The detection limits by ICP-AES range from 6 to 29 ng.mL[sup]-1, while those for ICP-MS range from 0.3 to 0.22 ng.mL[sup]-1, for the individual PGEs + Au. A di

Abstract:

A reactive transport model is proposed to simulate the reactivity of cement based material in contact with CO2-saturated brine and supercritical CO2 (scCO2) under CO2 geological storage conditions. This code is developed to solve simultaneously transport and chemistry by a global coupled approach, considering the effect of temperature and pressure. The variability of scCO2 properties with pressure and temperature, such as solubility in water, density and viscosity are taken into account. It is assumed that all chemical processes are in thermodynamical equilibrium. Dissolution and precipitation

A sample of the aplite material was collected to be studied with geochronology techniques to determine its age, to serve as a guide to interpret the timing of the development of the fracture pattern in the granite, with the orientations of the aplite dikes studied in mind.

Sulfur-species in geological materials have detrimental consequences for geoenvirormental engineering.

Field and laboratory studies show that the distribution of sulfur-species with depth below ground level can be divided into three zones: an upper sulfate leached zone, an intermediate zone with sulfate-horizons and a lower sulfate-poor, sulfide-rich zone. Based on this zonation, a targeted sampling strategy for sulfur-species is presented and permits application of exis

Though, the two project areas are geographically far apart, both are partly covered with volcanic rocks mainly consisting of basic and subordinate felsic rocks. The research was conducted in two countries; part I, the Ethiopian Project area located on the northwestern central Highlands of the Amhara regional state. It is characterized by rugged topography being situated on the western margin of the

Abstract:

The aim of this project was to study the leakage of CO2 in a Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS) system. To define the GCS system, a tool that is known as an FEP database was used. FEPs are the features, processes and events that develop scenarios for the goal of the study. Combinations of these FEPs can produce thousands of scenarios. However, among all of these scenarios, some are more important than others for leakage. The FEPs that were used as scenario developers were the formation of the liquid flow, the salinity of the formation liquid, diffusion as a process for gas bubble transport

Abstract:

The analytical performance of laser ablation (LA) for multielemental determination of geological and biological samples has been investigated. In the present study, LA has been used for sample introduction in inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS). Although LA can provide semi-quantitative results rapidly and easily, the calibration process still remains the "Achilles heel" of the technique. The major goal of this study has been to investigate the capabilities of LA-ICP-SFMS for qualitative and quantitative analysis of various solid materials. LA was used for anal

Abstract:

Carbon geosequestration (CGS) has been recognized as a strategic solution to prevent/counter the catastrophic consequences of climate change. However, despite recent cutting-edge technical research, predicting quantitative CO2 trapping in geological formations via capillary trapping is currently scarce. Moreover, several aspects of multiphase flow characteristics of CO2/brine/rock systems, that greatly impact carbon capture and containment security, require further investigations. Furthermore, combining carbon geosequestration with Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is an efficient and economically a

Abstract:

An investigation of the geological resources of the Southern Highlands was undertaken and over two hundred samples were collected and examined for possible use as stoneware ceramic ingredients. Thirty four of these samples were tested for possible use as clay body ingredients, while sixty five samples were selected for assessment as glaze ingredients. A wood fired kiln was built from firebricks produced from a local deposit of a white bauxite related material. Materials selected as a result of these tests were combined to create ceramic objects fired at stoneware temperatures. The most interes

Abstract:

<p>The need for tunnelling in Nepal, as in the Himalayan region in general, is enormous, particularly for hydropower development. Due to active tectonic movement and dynamic monsoon, the rock mass in the Himalaya is relatively weak and highly deformed, schistose, weathered and altered. Predicting rock mass quality, analyzing stress induced problems, in particular tunnel squeezing, and predicting inflow and leakage often have been found extremely difficult during planning stage. Considerable discrepancies have been found between predicted and actual rock mass conditions, resulting in significan

Abstract:

The study reported here, constitutes a full review of the major geological events that have influenced the morphological development of the southeast Queensland region. Most importantly, it provides evidence that the region’s physiography continues to be geologically ‘active’ and although earthquakes are presently few and of low magnitude, many past events and tectonic regimes continue to be strongly influential over drainage, morphology and topography. Southeast Queensland is typified by highland terrain of metasedimentary and igneous rocks that are parallel and close to younger, lowland coas
