  • Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design in Weak Rocks

    Edited by Derek Martin, Peter Stacey ...
    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 ...

  • Hydraulic Fracturing and Microseismicity for Applications of CO2 Storage

    The Role of Rock Properties and Fluid Viscosity

    by Tsuyoshi Ishida ...
    Series series Geomechanics Research
    Hydraulic fracturing (HF) has become essential for extracting oil and gas from unconventional reservoirs and heat energy from hot dry rock masses. However, a paradox remains in the fracturing mode of HF: stress conditions predicted by elasticity theory suggest tensile fracturing, while shear fracturing is dominant in HF-related microseismicity (MS). This book resolves this paradox by reviewing the ... Read more
