The paper presents the results of experimental examination of the weathering grade of granite rock mass in the medieval Jeroným Mine (Czech Republic).

Progressive rock-fall failures in natural rock slopes are common in many environments, but often elude detailed quantitative documentation and analysis. Here we present high-resolution photography, video, and laser scanning data that document spatial and temporal ...

The Srisailam Water Tunnel-1 is 43.5km long as it crosses the Amrabad plateau which contains a wildlife sanctuary and the Rajiv Gandhi Tiger Reserve. This scheme has been planned since 1983 to provide irrigation facilities to the drought ridden areas of Nalgonda ...

<p>The timescale for the generation of granitic magmas and their subsequent intrusion, crystallization, and cooling as plutons is no longer incompatible with the biblical time frames of the global, year-long Flood cataclysm and of 6,000-7,000 years for earth ...

<p>The main purpose of this study is to determine a safe angle for the rock slope at entry road cut slope Fraser's Hill. The data was analyzed by stereo-plot and then analyzed using kinematic to determine the maximum safe slope angle (MSSA) for the rock slope ...

<p>This paper overviews five slope assessment systems(SAS) developed in Malaysia for predicting landslide for large-scale assessments.</p>

This dissertation discusses the evolution of mountains, particularly the interaction between uplift, which is controlled by horizontally-directed plate tectonic and vertically directed isostatic forces, and erosion, which encompasses glacial, periglacial, ...

This paper is about geochemical classification of granitic rocks, which is based upon three variables.

<p>Geochemical investigation of samples from 20 granitic intrusions in six tectonic zones of the Hellenides shows that both I-type and S-type granites occur in the region. The I-type granites from four of the zones, namely the Rhodope Massif (RM), the Serbomacedonian ...
