Advances in Rock Dynamics and Applications

The study of rock dynamics is important because many rock mechanics and rock engineering problems involve dynamic loading ranging from earthquakes to vibrations and explosions. The subject deals with the distribution and propagation of loads dynamic responses and processes of rocks and rate-dependent properties coupled with the physical environment. Rock dynamics has a wide range of applications in civil mining geological and environmental engineering. However due to the additional 4th dimension of time rock dynamics remains in the discipline of rock mechanics a relatively more challenging topic to understand and to apply where documented research and knowledge are limited. Advances in Rock Dynamics and Applications provides a summary of the current knowledge of rock dynamics with 18 chapters contributed by individual authors from both academia and engineering fields. The topics of this book are wide-ranging and representative covering fundamental theories of fracture dynamics and wave propagation rock dynamic properties and testing methods numerical modelling of rock dynamic failure engineering applications in earthquakes explosion loading and tunnel response as well as dynamic rock support.

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 explains how the definitive British rock performers of this epoch aimed not at the youthful rebellion for which they are legendary but at a highly self-conscious project of commenting on the business in which they were engaged. They did so by ironically appropriating the traditional forms of Victorian music hall. Faulk focuses on the mid to late 1960s when British rock bands who had already achieved commercial prominence began to aspire to aesthetic distinction. The book discusses recordings such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour album the Kinks' The Village Green Preservation Society and the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols and television films such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus that defined rock's early high art moment. Faulk argues that these 'texts' disclose the primary strategies by which British rock groups mostly comprised of young working and lower middle-class men made their bid for aesthetic merit by sampling music hall sounds. The result was a symbolically charged form whose main purpose was to unsettle the hierarchy that set traditional popular culture above the new medium. Rock groups engaged with the music of the past in order both to demonstrate the comparative vitality of the new form and signify rock's new art status compared to earlier British pop music. The book historicizes punk rock as a later development of earlier British rock rather than a rupture. Unlike earlier groups the Sex Pistols did not appropriate music hall form in an ironic way but the band and their manager Malcolm McLaren were obsessed with the meaning of the past for the present in a distinctly modernist fashion. | British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock

Hard Rock Mine Reclamation From Prediction to Management of Acid Mine Drainage

Hard rock mines have significant effects on the territories where they operate through both infrastructure construction as well as resource use. Due to their extractive activities these mines store large quantities of wastes at the surface which can be both physically and chemically unstable. Reclamation aims to return a mine site to a satisfactory state meaning that the site should not threaten human health or security should not generate in the long term any contaminant that could significantly affect the surrounding environment and should be aesthetically acceptable to communities. This book focuses on the reclamation of waste storage areas which constitute the main source of pollution during and after mine operations and especially issues with acid mine drainage and neutral contaminated drainage. Features: Provides fundamental information and describes practical methods to reclaim mine-waste facilities Compares the different methods and illustrates their application at sites through case studies Identifies new reclamation issues and proposes solutions to address them Presents existing and new technologies to reclaim mine waste disposal areas from hard rock mines in different climatic conditions Integrates reclamation into mine operations and long term performance of techniques used through an interdisciplinary approach With mine site reclamation a young and still emerging science the training needs for professionals and students working in this field are huge.

Geomechanical Behaviors of Bimrocks

This book is intended as a reference book for advanced graduate students and research engineers in block-in-matrix rocks (bimrocks) or soil and rock mixtures (SRMs) or rock and soil aggregate (RSA). Bimrocks are complex formations characterized by competent rock inclusions floating in a weaker matrix. Typical types of bimrocks include a series of mixed geological or engineering masses such as mélanges fault rocks coarse pyroclastic rocks breccias sheared serpentines and waste dump mixture. Bimrock is especially different from the general soil and rock material and the detection of the damage and fracture is still wide open to innovative research. Globally there is a widespread interest in investigating the geomechanical behaviors of bimrocks such as deformation and strength characteristics damage and fracture evolution and stability prediction of bimrock construction. However the meso-structural factors control the whole mechanical properties of bimrocks; the source of the macroscopic deformation phenomenon is the meso-structural changes. Therefore evaluation of the mesoscopic physical and mechanical properties together with advanced testing technique is an attractive research topic in rock mechanics. As a result comprehensive macroscopic and mesoscopic experimental investigations should be conducted to reveal the damage and fracturing mechanical behaviors of bimrocks. The readers of this work can gain new insights into the meso-structural changes of bimrocks subjected to different stress paths. This book is expected to improve the understanding of the mesoscopic damage and fracturing mechanisms of bimrocks and can be helpful to predict the stability of rock structures where rock mass is subjected to complex loading conditions.

Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations

Shale gas and/or oil play identification is subject to many screening processes for characteristics such as porosity permeability and brittleness. Evaluating shale gas and/or oil reservoirs and identifying potential sweet spots (portions of the reservoir rock that have high-quality kerogen content and brittle rock) requires taking into consideration multiple rock reservoir and geological parameters that govern production. The early determination of sweet spots for well site selection and fracturing in shale reservoirs is a challenge for many operators. With this limitation in mind Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations develops an approach to improve the industry’s ability to evaluate shale gas and oil plays and is structured to lead the reader from general shale oil and gas characteristics to detailed sweet-spot classifications. The approach uses a new candidate selection and evaluation algorithm and screening criteria based on key geomechanical petrophysical and geochemical parameters and indices to obtain results consistent with existing shale plays and gain insights on the best development strategies going forward. The work introduces new criteria that accurately guide the development process in unconventional reservoirs in addition to reducing uncertainty and cost.

Microbiology in Civil Engineering Proceedings of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies Symposium held at Cranfield Institute

Although most public health and environmental engineers are aware of the importance of microbial activity many civil engineers do not appreciate the part microbiological process play in for example biodeterioration of concrete and other construction materials alteration of soil and rock properties clogging of boreholes distribution and irrigation systems and biofouling in embankment dams. There is a need for greater interaction between scientists and engineers in this respect. Recent advances in applied microbiology and biochemistry could usefully be extrapolated to fields of civil engineering. Indeed an understanding of microbiological activity in what is often thought of as purely physical and/or chemical processes and an awareness of what to look for is becoming increasingly important for civil engineers in their design of a variety of systems and structures.

How Britain Got the Blues: The Transmission and Reception of American Blues Style in the United Kingdom

This book explores how and why the blues became a central component of English popular music in the 1960s. It is commonly known that many 'British invasion' rock bands were heavily influenced by Chicago and Delta blues styles. But how exactly did Britain get the blues? Blues records by African American artists were released in the United States in substantial numbers between 1920 and the late 1930s but were sold primarily to black consumers in large urban centres and the rural south. How then in an era before globalization when multinational record releases were rare did English teenagers in the early 1960s encounter the music of Robert Johnson Blind Boy Fuller Memphis Minnie and Barbecue Bob? Roberta Schwartz analyses the transmission of blues records to England from the first recordings to hit English shores to the end of the sixties. How did the blues largely banned from the BBC until the mid 1960s become popular enough to create a demand for re-released material by American artists? When did the British blues subculture begin and how did it develop? Most significantly how did the music become a part of the popular consciousness and how did it change music and expectations? The way that the blues and various blues styles were received by critics is a central concern of the book as their writings greatly affected which artists and recordings were distributed and reified particularly in the early years of the revival. 'Hot' cultural issues such as authenticity assimilation appropriation and cultural transgression were also part of the revival; these topics and more were interrogated in music periodicals by critics and fans alike even as English musicians began incorporating elements of the blues into their common musical language. The vinyl record itself under-represented in previous studies plays a major part in the story of the blues in Britain. Not only did recordings shape perceptions and listening habits but which artists were available at any given time also had an enormous impact on the British blues. Schwartz maps the influences on British blues and blues-rock performers and thereby illuminates the stylistic evolution of many genres of British popular music. | How Britain Got the Blues: The Transmission and Reception of American Blues Style in the United Kingdom
