... normal stress, s n = 0, the sand and fibers settled into randomly distributed sand-fiber islands. Injecting solids-free carrier fluid displaces the settled solids washing them out of the fracture. Results for applied-normal stress experiments (s n = 0 - 12.8 psi) demonstrate the sand-fiber islands...

... phenomenon. This paper describes the characteristics and the ages of rock fractures filled with carbonates at granite outcrops along coasts of Yakushima Island, Japan. Like beachrocks, these fractures might be formed rapidly in geological time scale. Microscopic observation and XRD analysis are done...

... Abstract The Pi’ilani/Hana Arches are three historic stacked rock walls constructed above natural rock arches. The walls were designed to retain and support the Pi’ilani Highway above the Pacific Ocean near Kipahulu on the southeast coast of the Island of Maui. An earthquake, on October 15...

... and the Aleutian Islands. They are associated with active volcanoes and subduction zone-related faulting. Installation of a 60 MWe plant on a similar volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia has demonstrated the benefits of developing Aleutian-type geothermal systems. INTRODUCTION Affordable, reliable energy...

... ABSTRACT: An underground-undersea repository for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste is being considered for a small island offshore from Taiwan. The preliminary site characterization provided data to define intact rock properties, discontinuity characteristics, hydraulic conductivity...
