These rapid transit systems (RTS) are conceived to minimise traffic congestion by providing commuters with fast and efficient transportation alternatives. One such project is the Phase-II of the ongoing Bangalore Underground Metrorail Project. The design and construction of the metro rail project require sound engineering judgment and field experience on envisaged strata conditions along the proposed route alignment.\u0000The important factors that govern the excavation cycle depend on Rock mass material properties, efficient blast design and construction performance. All these considerations needs to be evaluated for achieving safe, cost-effective excavation design layouts. Proper blast design and safe blasting operations play a key role in achieving good fragmentation, minimising over break and equipment downtime. Site-specific innovative methods on controlled blasting techniques are being experimented with and demonstrated to minimise the ground vibrations. The major challenge lies with the design of efficient and smooth wall blasting techniques to safeguard the old heritage buildings and other subsurface structures and utilities.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":432372,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116423928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abundant resources have become an important part of geological resources and have attracted more and more attention. Coal measure and their overlying and underlying strata often coexist with various mineral resource types, and there is a certain relationship between their genesis and occurrence. In order to further enrich the theory of comprehensive exploration and coordinated development of multi-mineral resources, this paper takes the Huanghebei Coalfield as an example to systematically study the genesis mechanism and occurrence law of coal seam, coalbed methane, and coal-measure shale gas in Late Paleozoic and rich iron ore in Ordovician limestone underlie coal measure. The research is that: 1) The Late Paleozoic Carboniferous-Permian Marine facies, terrestrial facies, and transitional facies all developed in the coal-bearing area in the Huanghebei Coalfield, and the coal seams and mud shales developed well in Shanxi Formation and Taiyuan Formation. 2) Yanshanian magmatic intruded into Ordovician limestone. Contact metasomatism occurred between the ore-bearing hydrothermal fluids and the surrounding rocks, which led to skarn formation. The magnetite mineralization occurred in the metasomatism alteration process, and finally, the contact metasomatic iron deposit was formed; 3) Yanshanian magma intrusion has a significant impact on the generation of coal from coalbed methane and shale gas in the coal measures of Late Paleozoic. The magma carries a lot of heat by baking the coal seam and overlying shale, which is reflected explicitly in the increasing metamorphism degree of coal. Under the action of high temperature, the secondary gas of coal seam and coalbed methane increase sharply. The maturity and thermal evolution of organic matter in shale beds increased, and the shale gas entered a favorable range. The intrusion of magma greatly enhances the thermal evolution of organic matter in coal and shale, forming a variety of coals and promoting the generation and accumulation of coalbed methane and shale gas. At the same time, Mesozoic magmatic intrusion also controlled the formation of rich iron ores. According to the characteristics of mineral development and distribution in the study area, a multi-mineral development and distribution model of “coal - coalbed methane - shale gas - rich iron ore” coexists in the Huanghebei Coalfield, which is referred to as the “Huanghebei model”.","PeriodicalId":432372,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124053667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking the mining geological environment of Muping District, Shandong Province as the research background, and based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, a hierarchical structure model of the quality evaluation index of the mine geological environment in the study area was established, the relative importance of the 14 rating levels was estimated, and the weights were calculated. And sorting, establish a mine geological environment quality evaluation index system; then, according to the calculated comprehensive threshold value, establish a comprehensive evaluation grade of the mine geological environment. The results of the study show that the degree of environmental pollution (air, soil, water), vegetation coverage, topography and landform are the main factors for the evaluation of the geological environmental quality of the mines in the study area, and their weights are 0.3114, 0.1743, and 0.1184 in order. According to the principle of the maximum degree of membership, the mine geological environment quality is determined to be a good grade. Through the verification of the survey results of the mine geological environment on-site, the results show that the weights calculated by this method are reasonable, and the theoretical analysis and evaluation results obtained are in good agreement with reality. This method is worthy of popularization in the mine environment assessment work.

A piper diagram was used to intuitively conduct the synthetical analyses for the general chemical characteristics and water quality types of the water samples. At the same time, via the comparative analysis between the water properties of water exits and that of the main aquifers in the Jiaozuo mining area, discrimination of the hybridization of the multiple water gushing sources due to coal mining was done. Moreover, by dint of the SPSS factor analysis, the water chemical proxies were carried on dimensionality reduction from the six kinds of water chemical composition to the three major factors, which replaced the original variables to participate in the data modeling. The results of the study showed that the combination of the piper diagram and the factor analysis modeling could effectively identify the water gushing sources owing to exploiting the No.21 coal seams of the Shanxi group in the Jiaozuo mining area and rank on the basis of the contributions of each aquifer to the amounts of water bursting in the mine, solving the problems of information superposition and correlations consisted in the identification of water gushing sources, which provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and cure of the mine water disasters.","PeriodicalId":432372,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering","volume":"391 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115207282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a numerical study, focused on a new design for a passive cooling system that uses an earth-air heat exchanger (EAHE), which was assisted by a green wall/air heat exchanger (GAHE) in hot climatic conditions. The tubes buried in the ground and the shadow of a vertical green wall offer considerable advantages for saving energy. The depth of the pipes in the ground was calculated by taking into account the physical properties of the soil. A parametric study was carried out by taking into account the pipe diameter, pipe length, pipe depth in the ground, and the velocity of air in the pipes. The vertical pipe in the green wall allowed a significant additional drop in the air temperature at low air velocities or small pipe depths in the ground. This means that shorter pipe lengths can be used in the earth-air heat exchanger to keep the air outlet temperature of the same order. For an earth air heat exchanger assisted by a green wall operating in hot climates, the design and operation parameters recommended are; pipe diameter 120 mm, length of the buried pipe 4 m, depth in the ground 30 m and air velocity 1 m/s.","PeriodicalId":432372,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129730113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Form, angularity and texture are three independent parameters that describe the geometry of such a particle. In this paper the geometry of crushed Berea sandstone was determined through image processing, where the results showed that form and angularity indices describe the geometry characteristics of broken Berea sandstone better than the other geometry indices. A correction coefficient that has previously been introduced to predict a sieve size distribution from image processing was shown to be a function of form index for the sandstone fragments. Triaxial compression tests were performed on the broken sandstone, showing that confining pressure and void ratio have an impact on broken rock strength. Increasing confining pressure was shown to enhance the strength of broken rock, while void ratio was shown to be inversely related to broken rock strength. Void ratio can also be affected by particle geometry. Increasing particles form index increases the void ratio where particles angularity index and void ratio are inversely related.","PeriodicalId":432372,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121376369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
