Finally, achievements of present methods and techniques for digitization in substantial rock mechanics and rock engineering are presented.
Having previously had no substantial rock-and-roll star (apart from belatedly signing Dion at the end of 1962), Columbia through a mixture of luck and foresight wound up with three of the main folk-rock acts of the mid-1960s: Bob Dylan, the Byrds, and Simon and Garfunkel.
To a greater or a lesser extent, fault fracture meshes occupy a substantial rock volume rather than being restricted to discrete planar slip zones.
The daily fluctuation of relative humidity and temperature affects pore solution thermodynamics of building materials inducing salt weathering, a process that can generate substantial stress in rocks [19, 30].
Since rock strength decreases with increasing amounts of reactive minerals, substantial dissolution/precipitation of rock composition may lead to significant changes in the mechanical behavior, a generic computational scheme has been developed to take the mechanical and chemical coupling effects into account.
By this time, several models have been established to evaluate UCS and E from rock substantial properties.
Blast-induced ground vibration is one of the inevitable outcomes of blasting in mining projects and may cause substantial damage to rock mass as well as nearby structures and human beings.
In recent years, with mining depth increasing and the implementation of more complex and fully-mechanized caving mining processes, the methane emission problem in goafs has become increasingly serious because of the substantial fracturing of rock strata that develops around stopes.
The substantial corpus of rock art of the Gilf Kebir, a sandstone massif in the far southwest of Egypt, provides a rich insight into one of the major changes in the human past - the transition from hunting animals to herding them.
Umbriel consists mainly of ice with a substantial fraction of rock, and may be differentiated into a rocky core and an icy mantle.
