this study investigates the correlations among the tensile strength, mineral composition, and textural features of twenty-ninesandstones from kouzestan province. the regression analyses as well as artificial neural network (ann) are also applied to evaluatethe correlations. the results of simple regression analyses show no correlation between mineralogical features and tensile strength.however,...

In this study, the features of fly ashes originating from industrial-scale high volatile bituminous coal combustion and co-combustion with 10% admixture alternative fuel SRF (solid recovered fuel) are presented, emphasis on organic petrographical characteristics. The mineralogical data co-evaluated geochemical data, aim to provide a full classification studied ashes, as well base information to...

A provenance study was conducted on the Mid-Proterozoic Newland Formation, in which petrographical features of sandstones and geochemical characteristics of shales were integrated to arrive at an internally consistent interpretation. Sandstones of the Newland Formation are typically arkosic sands and arkoses with very well rounded quartz and feldspar grains and only minor amounts of extrabasina...
