Atlas of Natural and Induced Fractures in Core offers a reference for the interpretation of natural and induced fractures in cores. The natural and induced fracture data contained in cores provides a wealth of information once they are recognized and properly interpreted. Written by two experts in the field, this resource provides a much-needed tool to help with the accurate interpretation of these cores.
The authors include the information needed to identify different fracture types as well as the criteria for distinguishing between the types of fractures. The atlas shows how to recognize non-fracture artefacts in a core since many of them provide other types of useful information. In addition, the text's illustrated structures combined with their basic interpretations are designed to be primary building blocks of a complete fracture assessment and analysis. The authors show how to recognize and correctly interpret these building blocks to ensure that subsequent analyses, interpretations, and modeling efforts regarding fracture-controlled reservoir permeability are valid.
Presented in full color throughout, this comprehensive reference is written for geologists charged with interpreting fracture-controlled permeability systems in reservoirs as well as for students or other scientists who need to develop the skills to accurately interpret the natural and induced fractures in cores.

The main aims of this book are to provide an understanding of the nature of soil, an appreciation of soil behaviour and a concise and clear presentation of the basic principles of soil mechanics.
The subject of soil mechanics attempts to provide a framework for understanding the behaviour of the ground by considering the principles which apply to soils. The geotechnical engineer must then use judgement to determine how to apply these principles in real situations.

Fundamentals of Geotechnical Engineering and their Applications
Author(s)/Editor(s): George Kouretzis | Size: 28.6 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: The University of Newcastle, Australia | Year: 2018 | pages: 232
The notes at hand were prepared as part of the teaching material for the course Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, offered by the University of Newcastle, Australia. They built upon fundamentals of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering introduced in the previous Geomechanics courses, focusing on their application in practical Geotechnical Engineering tasks, such as: interpretation of geotechnical investigation results, design of shallow foundations under serviceability and ultimate limit state conditions, and analysis and design of deep foundations. In addition to the above, the notes include a brief introduction to Geoenvironmental Engineering, concentrating on the particular problem of soil and groundwater contamination and the description of remediation techniques.
The analytical and empirical state-of-practice methodologies on which these notes are based on conform to the pertinent Australian Standards, which are extensively referenced in the text, whereas normative design concepts such as the Load and Resistance Factor Design are demonstrated, via their application in numerous worked examples.
In parallel, the use of numerical methods in Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering is introduced, by means of several example case studies treated with the industry-standard finite element code PLAXIS. Emphasis is not put on linear and non-linear finite element theory, but rather on its application for solving basic Geotechnical Engineering problems, and on key modeling issues. The concept of using simpler, analytical methods to validate numerical analysis results and guide the development of more complex, real-world models is underlined.
