The reliability of geomechanical models and engineering designs depend heavily on high-
quality data. In geomechanical projects, collecting and analyzing laboratory data is crucial in …

Shale reservoirs have been a significant focus of hydrocarbon production over the past few
decades, and the mechanical assessment of target shale reservoirs has been critical to …

Abstract The Los Humeros Volcanic Complex has been characterized as a suitable target for
developing a super-hot geothermal system (> 350° C). For the interpretation of geophysical …

Variations in rock mass properties are well-established in rock mechanics and underground
mining. The literature is replete with methods of assessing them and determining values that …

Geomechanical parameters of intact metamorphic rocks determined from laboratory testing
remain highly uncertain because of the great intrinsic variability associated with the degrees …

The shear strength properties of rock materials, cohesion and internal friction angle, are
determined by carrying out tri-axial strength test on cylindrical core specimens in laboratory …

Unlike traditional base materials such as concrete or masonry, there are no guidelines for
rock as a base material for post-installed anchors. The varying rock properties (eg, rock type …

One of the two independent key parameters of the Hoek–Brown failure criterion, mi, is
calculated using 3-axial test data consisting of at least five major and minor principal …

El Perú, hoy en día es uno de los principales productores de oro a nivel mundial y el
primero a nivel de Latinoamérica en reservas de este mineral, por ello es fundamental que …

Super-hot unconventional geothermal systems (> 350 C) possess enormous potential for
geothermal power and heat generation that could be harnessed in the future. Due to their …
