<p>This work focuses mainly on the Geotechnical properties of mapped areas in Gombe town which forms part of the Upper Benue trough. Representative soil samples were collected from these areas and were investigated for their Geotechnical properties with a ...

Different types of rock crusts and the underlying unweathered sandstone were sampled in the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin,Czech Republic. Structure and mineral composition of the samples were studied using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with ...

Landslide Brus was occurred in April 2005, near Brus village in Istria, Croatia. Landslide is typical block sliding and landslide body consists of practically unique flysch rock mass block, 150 m long and 35 m wide. Sliding was occurred momentary, without ...

Between 1999 and 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) investigated coalbed methane (CBM) resources in the Wyoming portion of the Powder River Basin (PRB) (fig. 1). The study also included the CBM resources in the North Dakota portion of the Williston Basin ...

This paper will review some methods used to manage geotechnical risk at Damang Pit Cutback. The pit depth is designed up to 250m with push back on the eastern and western walls of the existed and depleted Railway Cutback (RCB) pit. The geotechnical design ...

The largest landslides on the south coast of England are those associated with failure surfaces in montmorillonite-rich mudstones close to the base of the Gault Formation (mid Cretaceous). Those at Folkestone, Sussex (Trenter &amp; Warren, 1996), Ventnor, ...

Fibrous illite is one of the most important cements that grows within sandstones during burial, and the only one which is commonly dated using the K–Ar age technique. A small quantity of illite can dramatically reduce porefluid flow rates within a sandstone, ...

This paper presents a methodology for estimating the properties of heterogenous rock masses such as flysch.

<p>This paper is about foundations on Shale and Sandstone in the Sydney Region and includes relevant research findings and revisions of the original 1978 paper for classification system of shale and sandstone, guidelines and parameters.</p>

This document commences with design sections covering the basic assumptions relating to construction that are involved with modern design methods.
