Abstract:
Weak and weathered rocks are well known for their sensitivity to changes in moisture content. Degrading behavior is common in weak rocks with moisture-sensitive mineral components and present numerous stability problems. The slake durability is a measure of the resistance to weakening and disintegration of rock materials which quantitatively distinguishes durable from non-durable rock materials. Several rock material parameters interact on the process of disintegration when exposed to cyclic moisture changes, whereby the content of clay is believed to play a major role.

As a matter of fact, the failure criteria only predict failure's initiation in materials. And, in order to predict post-yield behaviour of materials, a much complicated formulation for stress-strain relationship is required, which we know as plasticity theory. For instance, these formulations are developed based on Mohr-Coulomb criterion for soils and Drucker-Prager criterion for concrete. According to a majority of rock mechanics researchers, the empirical and experimental Hoek-Brown failure criterion is one of the well-progressed and suitable criteria, which can efficiently predict the rock

AbstractConcrete is the most commonly used structural material, which is composed of individual base materials. The compressive strength of concrete is important to understand for activities like construction arrangement, prestressing operations, proportioning new mixtures and quality assurance. Concrete has a problem known as Clustering, which is the unsupervised classification of patterns into clusters. The clustering problem has been addressed by several researchers in many contexts and various disciplines; this shows that clustering uses many areas and is an important step in data analysis

Weak rocks encountered in open pit mines cover a wide variety of materials, with properties ranging between soil and rock. As such, they can provide a significant challenge for the slope designer. For these materials, the mass strength can be the primary control in the design of the pit slopes, although structures can also play an important role. Because of the typically weak nature of the materials, groundwater and surface water can also have a controlling influence on stability.

Most rock songs fall into one of three formal types: simple verse (with a short, repeating verse-refrain section), AABA (with a verse-refrain and a contrasting bridge), and verse-chorus (with an alternation between verse and chorus, usually with contrasting material after the second chorus). This chapter adopts this framework, though it also emphasizes the strong connections between AABA and verse-chorus forms. Since the 1960s, verse-chorus form has been predominant; together, a verse and chorus form a “verse-chorus unit,” or VCU. An issue of particular interest is the opposition between verse

Abstract:
AbstractMineral and organic constituents belong to the basic components observed in soil thin sections. They can appear, for instance, as large rock fragments, or single minerals as sand grains; they can constitute large areas of micromass formed by clay minerals or display parts of plant roots or leaf fragments, i.e. organic material. These constituents comprise the body of the soil itself, and in soil micromorphology, they belong to the groundmass, as well as the material constituting the pedofeatures (see “10.1007/978-3-030-67806-7_1#Sec9”). Two types of basic components are recognized by Stoops (2003, 2021), those recognizable at the magnifications of the optical microscope and those which are not. Stoops (2003, 2021) pointed out the problem of the optical microscope resolution and the thickness of conventional thin sections. Indeed, it is preferable not to have a standard size limit between coarse and fine materials.

Abstract:
This chapter presents three common strategies that account for the structures of Queen’s songs: conventional templates (such as AABA or Verse-Chorus), conventional templates with added material (such as Verse-Chorus with two bridge sections), and episodic (irregular sequence of multiple sections). These types of forms appear in relatively equal measure and with relative consistency across Queen’s output. Beyond these strategies, it is argued that Queen’s approach to form may be understood as balancing ‘artistic’ and ‘craft’ techniques, drawing on Covach’s analysis of The Beatles. Songs with simple structures are often imbued with modulations or other rich harmonic devices; songs with more complex structures still retain a strong sense of tonal security and phrase regularity. Queen is thus positioned in the middle of pop and progressive compositional aesthetics from the 1970s.

Abstract:
This chapter is only a brief introduction to lithic archaeological materials. Archaeologists with but little knowledge of rocks and rock-forming minerals are urged to learn about them in greater detail than that presented here. Lithic resources are abundant in almost every archaeological site, and lithic artifacts are invariably the best preserved of any remains. Early societies learned how to exploit these resources, and the use and production of lithics go back to the earliest known sites, at least 1.5 million years. In fact, the earliest cultures are distinguished on the basis of their lithic industries and lithic artifacts. Horror stories in misidentification of lithics abound. Not only have misidentified artifacts proven embarrassing to the archaeologist, but also they have made it difficult to make meaningful comparisons of different societies using published descriptions. In addition, conservation strategies for historical monuments cannot be developed without an understanding of the nature of the material used in their construction. Some egregious examples of ignorance of the rocks and minerals from our personal experience include the following: 1. An archaeologist asked if a quartzite scraper was either flint or chert. When told that it was neither, he asked, "Well then, which is it more like?" (answer, still neither). 2. Egyptian basalt statues have been called limestone in publications (and several other rock types). 3. Sources for alabaster were searched to explain a trading link between a site and elsewhere when the geological map showed the site was adjacent to a mountain of gypsum, the mineral component of alabaster (the gypsum may have merely rolled down the hillside to the workshops, where it became the more salable alabaster). 4. Conservators searched for methods to preserve an allegedly granitic historic monument, or so it had been identified. Chemical analysis revealed only abundant Ca, Mg, and carbonate. Fossils were also abundant in the "granite," which dissolved easily in hydrochloric acid (the "granite" was clearly limestone). Petrology is the branch of geology that deals with the occurrence, origin, and history of rocks. Petrography is concerned with descriptions of rocks, their mineralogy, structures, and textures.

Abstract:
We conducted biogeochemical investigations of Cd transport and uptake by vegetation over a metamorphic and intrusive terrane in the Fortymile River watershed and Mining District, east-central Alaska. The occurrence of Cd in eolian-dominated sub-arctic soils developed over five major rock units was examined, as well as its relative bioaccumulation in willow. Although the bioaccumulation of Cd by willow (Salix spp.) has been known for some time (Gough 1991), the connection to adverse animal health, under natural (geogenic) conditions, has only recently been demonstrated (Larison et al. 2000, Mykelbust and Pederson 1999). We present Cd data for three soil horizons and the leaf and twig material of Salix glauca L. (grayleaf willow) collected at sites within defined rock units. The cycling of Cd and its bioaccumulation in willow are compared among rock types and soil horizons. Cadmium in study area soils is derived from aeolian dust (loess) and the weathering of the primary bedrock. Plots of rare earth elements (REE, normalized to chondrite abundance’s) in samples of A, B, and C soil horizon soils were similar to REE patterns in regional loess samples and did not correspond to bedrock patterns. Not surprisingly, therefore, we found essentially no difference in the concentration of Cd in soils developed over different lithologic units. In addition, the anthropogenic input (from mining) at sites we sampled was found to be minimal. Cadmium levels in soil are generally higher than that found in the study area rock types (~2ppm)(Day2000). In our acidic soils (pH 4.5-6.0), Cd should be mobile (readily leached), and should tend to form complexes with carbonates, hydroxides, and phosphates. Interestingly, Cd concentrations decrease with increasing soil depth — a trend directly proportional to soil organic matter content. Enrichment factors (EF), a measure of the relative uptake by a plant of an element from its substrate — a sort of “bioavailability” assessment, are presented in Figure 12.2 for Cd in willow leaf material. This procedure normalizes the data, with respect to a geochemical reference element (in this case Ce), for each of the soil horizons developed over the five major rock units.

Abstract:
Around 1850 an image of a mysterious cavern in the western country was painted on a vast stretch of canvas. It depicts an elaborate, subterranean realm with colorful stalactites, exotic mineral formations, and an enigmatic hieroglyphic inscription. The darkness is illumined by the flaming brands of a party of explorers, who move about in active curiosity. In the shadows beyond the torchlight a trio of mummies can be seen, propped up against the rocks. The Kentucky Mummy—and a few of her peers—patiently await the attention of Investigators. The description attached to the painting, however, suggests that its object is not Mammoth Cave, but another western grotto, located in a bluff alongside the Ohio known as Cave-in-Rock. In actuality there were no stalactites at this particular location, and no evidence for antiquities either. Early in the era of western exploration the cavern had been used as shelter by travelers: the walls were indeed inscribed, but—like the trees that had once risen atop the Grave Creek Mound—with the signatures of those passing through rather than with those of the ancient inhabitants. More infamously, the cave had been used by river pirates as a base for attacks on flatboat passengers. Eastern newspapers had carried accounts of the banditti of Cave-in-Rock. Thomas Ashe included the cave among his bone-filled catacombs, and a newspaper article of a few years later described the place as a “dark mansion of the murdered.” John Egan’s romanticized depiction of Cave-in-Rock—executed on behalf of Montroville Dickeson—illustrates the complex accretion of historicized landscapes in the American West in the era prior to the Civil War. For the mid-nineteenth-century audience such palimpests were relatively commonplace, representing the increasing time depth of settlement and the progressive integration of different types of historical experience. That the painter had apparently never seen the place itself was irrelevant: his canvas artfully joined the ancient dead with the casualties of more recent times, connecting past and present in equal degree, within a mythicized western setting. The nature of Egan’s work itself indicated that visual imagery was a potentially powerful strategy for engaging the material past in the antebellum United States.

Abstract:
Ultramafic rocks come from deep within the earth. Most rocks on the surface of the earth are quite different from them. Unique rocks make unique soils and support special plants. Exploring the links and interactions among these unique rocks, soils, and vegetation is an interdisciplinary endeavor that has been accomplished by experts in three areas. It has helped elucidate serpentine rock–soil–plant relationships and provide a rationale for the unusual soil properties and vegetation associated with ultramafic rocks. Examples from arctic tundra to temperate rainforest and hot desert in western North America provide a framework for the investigation of serpentine geoecosystems around the world. The unusual character of most serpentine vegetation is readily apparent even to an untrained eye. Although a vast number of rock and soil types make up the earth’s surface, few have as dramatic and visible effects on ecosystems as do ultramafic, or serpentine materials. Most ultramafic rocks in western North America have been derived from the mantle of earth via ocean crust. Magnesium is highly concentrated in the mantle and calcium, potassium, and phosphorous are relatively low. Calcium and potassium are further depleted from peridotite in the partial melting of ultramafic rock at the base of the ocean crust. As oceanic plates drift from spreading centers, most of the ocean crust is subducted and returns to the mantle (chapter 2). Only relatively small fragments of ocean crust are added to the continents. Because eukaryotic organisms, from protozoa to plants and animals, have evolved on continental crust, they are adapted to soils with higher concentrations of calcium, potassium, and phosphorus (elements with higher concentrations in continental crust than in ultramafic rocks from the base of the ocean crust) and much lower concentrations of magnesium. Having evolved on continents, plants depend on relatively high ratios of calcium and potassium to magnesium, elements that they use for a wide range of physiological functions. Although there has been a long history of evolutionary adaptation to the chemistry of the continental crust, special adaptations have allowed some plants to colonize the atypical conditions of serpentine.

Talc deposits in the Finnish extension of the craton are being mined in the Kainuu Schist Belt and soapstone deposits in the Suomussalmi-Kuhmo Greenstone Belt. The Karelian portion of the craton seems to be more promising for talc-bearing deposits, because favourable rock complexes of greenstone belts are more common there. The revival of

Abstract:
Ultramafic rocks of the Aganozero chromium ore deposit located in South Karelia are of practical interest as a high-Mg raw material for industrial application. The preliminary results of the study of high-Mg rocks and minerals from the Aganozero deposit for the production of new materials are reported. The high technological level and economic efficiency of the ceramic materials produced, based on Karelia’s high-Mg rocks and industrial minerals, were achieved by reducing energy consumption and simplifying the technological process.

The METEOR (Model to Evaluate Transportation Effects of Risk) project at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) successfully addresses the difficult problem in risk assessment analyses of combining the results from bounding deterministic simulation results with probabilistic (Monte Carlo) risk assessment techniques. This paper describes a software suite designed to perform sensitivity and cost/benefit analyses on selected transportation routes and vehicles to minimize risk associated with the shipment of hazardous materials.

Abstract:
Acid is often injected into porous media to dissolve rock material and enhance flow capability of the rock. Most simulation studies on the propagation of the dissolution front are based on constant injection rate (CIR). Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop numerical model to study acid dissolution front under constant injection pressure (CIP) and also incorporate the effect of fluid temperature on acid–rock interaction. Commercial computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software (ANSYS Fluent) is used to solve three-dimensional acid-rock interaction model in cylindrical coordinates.

Abstract:
Matrix wettability is a key driver in relative permeability and, hence, a critical factor controlling imbibition and drainage at UR fracture-matrix interfaces as well as enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In this study, we (1) adapt and apply the NMR-based wettability index (NWI) methodology of Looyestijn et al. (2006) to a variety of unconventional twin samples undergoing, respectively, spontaneous imbibition with oil-displacing-water and water-displacing-oil and (2) compare the robustness of this method among a variety of samples pairs and also to other NMR-based wettability methods.

Abstract:
The experiences on the use of concrete sleepers in Finnish railways are mainly very good when the supporting layer, ballast, consists of coarse-grained crushed rock aggregate. Nowadays in Finland there are still wooden sleepers on many lines carrying little traffic. On these lines the ballast often consists of gravel providing essentially weaker support for the sleepers. One question in future renovations is whether concrete sleepers remain undamaged with gravel ballast. To test the bending behaviour of four different sleeper models resting on three different ballast beds, a cyclic loading tes

Abstract The potential of nanoparticles, which are classified as advanced fluid material, have been unlocked for improved oil recovery in recent years such as nanoparticles-assisted waterflood process. However, there is no existing commercial reservoir simulation software that could properly model phase behaviour and transport phenomena of nanoparticles. This paper focuses on the development of a novel robust advanced simulation algorithms for nanoparticles that incorporate all the main mechanisms that have been observed for interpreting and predicting performance.

Research is currently being undertaken in Australia to develop new drilling technologies for deep mineral exploration. The Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC) has carried out a comprehensive review of the available drilling technologies in the market. Following the study, coiled tube drilling technology has been suggested as a faster and cheaper method than conventional pipe drilling. This is primarily due to its smaller footprint relative to the standard rotary method, ease of unit mobility, less operating personnel, faster rate of penetration, and faster rig u

Abstract:
Abstract Shale is an effective barrier material. It has a proven track record of acting as a seal (barrier) for oil and gas reservoirs for millions of years. Shale with high clay content and especially high smectite has low permeability, in the nanodarcy range, compared to standard class G laboratory cement that has permeability in the 10–20 microdarcy range. Weak ductile shales will also have a self-healing behavior should fractures be induced at some point. Shale is approved by regulators to be used as well barriers and part of permanent plug and abandonment (P&A) for oil and gas wells.

The Bolivia-Brazil Natural Gas Pipeline has 2.600 kilometers since Rio Grande City in Bolivia until Canoas City, in south Brazil. The pipeline crosses a lot of types of geological field and difficult topography. The south spread of the pipeline is the most interesting because of its hard topography combined with the variety of geological materials, such as, colluvium deposits and debris flow areas. Curriola River is located at kilometer 408, north part of Parana State. In this area, the pipeline crosses slopes of 40 degrees of inclination. The mounting was only possible making high cuts to ass
