There are many ancient underground quarries in Zhejiang Province, China. Many caverns of them maintained steady more than 1000 years. Certain engineering geological condition is very important for long-term stability. In this paper, ancient underground quarries in Shepan Island are presented as a case. Shepan Island ancient large-scale underground quarry caverns are located in Sanmen County, Zh...

This paper presents the investigation of surface geology and subsurface engineering to analyze excavation method stand-up time DK99-DK100 Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway Tunnel, Indonesia. Rock mass quality, tunnel method, determined using Geological Strength Index (GSI), Basic Quality (BQ) systems, converted Mass Rating (RMR) The Japan Society Civil Engineering (JSCE) for comparison. result...

With the rapid development of national economic construction, traffic network is extending continuously, and the scope of the highway construction is gradually shifting from plain to the mountains. However, weathered rock occupies heavily along highway in mountainous area, and high quality subgrade filling is extremely short, thus a large amount of subgrade filling needed for subgrade high-fill...

[1] Accurate and efficient simulation of contaminant transport in fractured rock is practically important, yet current approaches suffer from numerical constraints that limit the full inclusion of fracture network properties at the regional scale. We propose a multidimensional transport model, nonlocal in space and time, which describes complex transport behavior in fractured media at regional ...

This paper proposes a data-driven approach in determining an optimal inspection interval for a petroleum pipeline system. The approach accounts for the determination of both the probability of failure and its associated consequences. The probability of failure is estimated by fitting the historical data of failure of the pipeline into either a homogenous Poisson process or non-homogenous Poisso...

Permeability is the ability of porous rock to transmit fluids and one of the most important properties of reservoir rock because oil production depends on the permeability of reservoirs. Permeability is determined using a variety of methods which are usually expensive and time consuming. Reservoir rock properties with image analysis and intelligent systems has been used to reduce time and money...
