Hard rocks or crystalline rocks (ie, plutonic and metamorphic rocks) constitute the basement
of all continents, and are particularly exposed at the surface in the large shields of Africa …

A distinct boundary between unweathered and weathered rock that moves downward as
weathering proceeds—the weathering front—is explicitly or implicitly part of landscape …

The present paper has been carried out to understand the effects of impact loading on the
rock tunnels, constructed in different region corresponding to varying unconfined …

In this paper, the effects of weathering on durability and deformability properties for three
different types of granitoid rocks were investigated. Five weathering grades ranging from …

Intracratonic sedimentary basins develop on first-order nonconformities. Although the
evolution of such basins has been the focus of many studies, the formation of the basement …

The domestic water supply of Burundi is mainly based on some 25,000 springs that provide
water through gravity systems. These systems have their natural limitation and cannot …

Assessment of potential groundwater recharge sites and sustainable water resource
management in semi-arid crystalline rock terrain is a challenging task. Globally, analysis of …

Delineating crystalline basement aquifers with adequate capacity to store and transmit
sufficient groundwater is quite challenging as substantial spatial variability predominantly …

Weathering processes gradually alter the physical and mechanical attributes of slope
materials, weakening the structural integrity and stability of slopes. This paper presents an in …
