Progress on rock mechanics research of Beishan granite for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste in China

Liang Chen, Xingguang Zhao, Jian Liu et al. · 4 May 2023

The mechanical behavior of host rock for a deep geological repository of high-level radioactive waste plays a key role in ensuring the isolation function of host rock as a natural barrier under the multi-field coupling environment. For a better understanding of granite in China's Beishan pre-selected area for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, a…

A review on experimental techniques and their applications in the effects of mineral content on geomechanical properties of reservoir shale rock

Romulus Mawa Tuzingila, Lingyun Kong, Ruben Koy Kasongo · 13 Mar 2024

Understanding the effects of mineral composition on geomechanical characteristics is critical in order to design and optimize the hydraulic fracturing necessary for shale gas reservoir production. Fundamental information is still missing in effects of mineral content and the experimental methodologies used. This paper provided an in-depth assessment of the various experimental methodologies and their applications…

Geomechanical risk and mechanism analysis of CO2 sequestration in unconventional coal seams and shale gas reservoirs

Nianjie Kuang, Junping Zhou, Xuefu Xian et al. · 5 Aug 2023

With global greenhouse gas emissions hitting record highs in 2021, CO2 geological sequestration (CGS) is the most realistic and feasible technology to ensure large-scale carbon reduction to achieve global carbon capping and carbon neutrality goals. Both coalbed methane and shale gas have the characteristics of self-generation and self-storage, which is considered to be a valuable…

Uncertainties of landslide susceptibility prediction: Influences of different spatial resolutions, machine learning models and proportions of training and testing dataset

Faming Huang, Zuokui Teng, Zizheng Guo et al. · 1 Jan 2023

This study aims to reveal the impacts of three important uncertainty issues in landslide susceptibility prediction (LSP), namely the spatial resolution, proportion of model training and testing datasets and selection of machine learning models. Taking Yanchang County of China as example, the landslide inventory and 12 important conditioning factors were acquired. The frequency ratios of…

A review of previous studies on the applications of fiber optic sensing technologies in geotechnical monitoring

Jiaxiao Ma, Huafu Pei, Hong‐Hu Zhu et al. · 25 Nov 2022

Geotechnical engineering is characterized by many uncertainties, including soil material properties, environmental effects, and engineering design and construction, which bring a significant challenge to geotechnical monitoring. However, conventional sensors with several inherent limitations, such as electromagnetic interference, signal loss in long-distance transmission, and low durability in harsh environments cannot fully meet current monitoring needs. Recently,…
