In China, loess is centrally distributed on the Loess Plateau. On the other hand, it is found that highly porosity, strong water sensitivity, joints and fissures, and silt (0.005–0.05 mm) that generally have a weight content of >50% makes loess sensitive to rainfall, erosion, seismic...
This pattern is most common in areas with relatively uniform geology, where there are no major faults, folds, or variations in rock hardness to dictate the flow direction, Such as granite, gneiss, volcanic rock, and sedimentary rock which has not been folded (or unconsolidated material) beneath...
Types of carbonate aquifers according to the fracturation and the karsti(R)cation in a southern Spanish area. Environm. Geology 30, 163±173.Andreo, B., Carrasco, F., Sanz de Galdeano, C., 1997. Types of carbonate aquifers according to the fracturation and the karstification in a ...
In the case of jasper and greenstone, the long-term properties were analyzed by LA tests where the number of rotations were increased from 100 to 900 (Erichsen 2015). Similar tests were introduced based on the slake durability index, which is used to test weak and clay-bearing rocks. ...
Another type of connective tissue is dense or fibrous connective tissue, which can be found in tendons and ligaments. These structures help attach muscles to bones and link bones together at joints. Dense connective tissue is composed of large amounts of closely packed collagenous fibers. In compa...
gear trains are essential components in robotic systems, enabling precise and controlled motion. they are utilized in robot joints, grippers, and drive systems, allowing for accurate positioning, manipulation, and mobility in robotic applications across industries like automation, healthcare, and ...
Estimating the cracking capacity of the face slab and recommending effective crack-control measures are important for the anti-seismic safety of concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs). In this paper, two-dimensional analyses of CFRDs are performed to simulate the seismic cracking behavior of convention...

Three phases of subsidence have been recognized, with corresponding types of reservoirs: initial (emigrational), principal (redistribution of fluids in the reservoirs and the initiation of natural-hydraulic-rupture joints), and critical (removal of fluids from the pore space into the jointed reservoir...
In all types, the resultant prismatic columns have a similar geometry, facilitating a comparison of columnar joints in different materials and processes such as cooling and drying. In this study, we provide a unique example of columnar joints in low-grade meta-chalks that are the product of ...
