Abstract:

The success of rock fragmentation by blasting and subsurface fluid flow depends on many variables, including in-situ fragmentation. This study presents select data from a review of over 13000 feet of core samples drilled at seven different mine properties in the United States and Chile. Two-dimensional computer simulations of fractures can be used to quantify the volume of rock required to calculate a stable estimate of mean fragment size. Spatial periodicity of fragment size measurements is indicated through vertical variograms and is used as the basis for a statistical analysis for the zonin

Abstract:

Accurate quantification of roughness is important in modeling strength, deformability and fluid flow behaviors of joints. Both stationary and non-stationary fractional Brownian profiles with known values of the fractal dimension and other profile properties were generated. The generated profiles were in general quite similar to the roughness profiles of natural rock joints. For different values of the input parameter of the line scaling, variogram and roughness-length methods, D was calculated for the generated self-affine profiles to investigate the accuracy of each method. The results obtain

The resuspension behavior of natural estuarine sediments was studied using the VIMS Sea Carousel, a benthic annular flume. The bed shear stresses produced by the flume were measured by a hot-film sensor mounted flush on the bottom of a laboratory version of the Carousel under a clear-water and flat-bottom condition. Measurements showed a reasonably uniform bed shear stress across the channel and agreed with the relationship &\tau\sb{lcub}\rm b{rcub}=0.011\Omega\sp{lcub}1.69{rcub},& where &\Omega& = ring speed (rpm) and &\tau\sb{lcub}\rm b{rcub}& = spatially-averaged bed shear stress (N/m&\sp2&

Abstract:

This thesis is a theoretical investigation into the time-dependent behaviour of rock joints. Much of the research work that has been conducted to date in the area of finite element analysis has been involved with the development of special elements to deal with these discontinuities. A comprehensive literature survey is undertaken highlighting some of the significant contributions to the modelling of joints. It is then shown how internal variables can be used to model discontinuities in the rock mass. A finite element formulation is described resulting in a system of equations which can easily

The current study aims to investigate the physical mechanisms controlling fine sediment transport within open channel shear flows over porous beds, with particular emphasis on the role of flow turbulence in particle settling and deposition processes.

Measurement of near-bed particle trajectories indicate that turbulent particle fall velocities w's are generally larger than fall velocities measured i

Abstract:

The key parameters representing the small strain response of geomaterials are the very small strain shear modulus, Gmax, shear modulus degradation G/Gmax, and damping ratio. These are also important parameters in the design of foundations where only small deformation takes place. A review of the literature suggests that shear modulus and damping ratio at small strain are significantly influenced by void ratio and mean effective stress. They are also influenced by other parameters such as confinement time, anisotropy, number of loading cycles, and OCR, etc. However, there was little evidence in

Abstract:

Soil behaviors are quite complex under dynamic loadings, such as wave loading, earthquake loading, etc, but they share common characteristics that the soil is subjected to considerable principal stress rotations (PSR). PSR can generate plastic deformation even without a change of principal stress magnitudes. Continuous PSR can also generate excess pore water pressures and cumulative shear strains in undrained condition. Therefore, the PSR from the dynamic loadings can accelerate undrained soil liquefaction because it can cause cumulative plastic volumetric deformations. Ignoring PSR induced de

Abstract:

In geotechnical engineering, soil is subject to shear stress, as well as normal stress. In many cases, soil is sheared along multiple directions, such as an embankment under earthquake loading and foundation soil of a structure under a complex loading. In recent years, significant research has been devoted to understanding the static and cyclic shear behaviour of sand under complex stress conditions. To investigate the shear behaviours of soils, a few testing devices have been specifically developed. The most commonly used apparatuses are direct shear, direct simple shear, and hollow cylinder

It is important to understand the processes that regulate phosphorus (P) fluxes to coastal environments, because P is an important nutrient in coastal ecosystems. Phosphorus adsorbs to the surface of minerals in sediment and bedrock, and an influx of seawater can cause some of that P to desorb, raising the P concentration of ambient water. Although seawater-induced P desorption is thought to be an important source of P to coastal environments, the chemical reactions that underlie it have not been established.

Abstract:

The classical theory of poroelasticity developed by Biot (1941) deals with the time-dependent response of the fluid-saturated porous media derived from the coupling of the mechanical deformations and the deformations of pore fluid. The classical theory of poroelasticity has been successfully applied to a range of problems of interest to geomechanics and biomechanics. The brittle poroelastic media can experience alterations in poroelasticity properties resulting from the generation and/or growth of micro-defects. The effects can be modelled by appeal to continuum damage mechanics. Damage
