Soil Moisture Measurements in Oil Shale Waste Material Using a Neutron Probe and Time Domain Reflectometry
Five large scale lysimeters (7.3 ? 3.0 ? 3.0 m deep) have been constructed to collect information and data on hydrological factors which affect the movement of water through a large scale...
Can EPA Sell Oil Shale for Roads?
Conditional Simulation of the Wilmington Sand-Shale Sequence, Los Angeles Basin
In shaly clastic reservoirs at a scale where vertical cross flow cannot be ignored the main source of heterogeneity is the apparent random geometry of the sand-shale sequence. That geometry...
Environmental Risk Assessment for a Future Oil Shale Industry in the Western U.S.
Abutment Seepage at Smithville Dam
After initial filling there was concern for the stability of Smithville Dam when higher than anticipated piezometric levels were experienced in the left abutment foundation. Concern heightened...
Fracture and Fragmentation of Rock Materials by Explosives
Explosives are used in various commercial applications including the extraction of natural resources from the earth and removal of materials for new construction. These applications include...
Oil Shale Fracture Characterization by a New Model
Fracture toughness of oil shale is a property which is essential for fracture characterization needed for energy resource development and recovery. However, a data base for fracture toughness...
Simulation of Rock Fracture with the 3-D SHALE Code
The 3-D SHALE code simulates the propagation of stress waves and the occurrence of fracture in brittle solids. The physical models and numerical methods in this code are similar to those...
Construction of Middle Fork Dam
Recently there has been increased interest in roller compacted concrete (RCC) for use in dams. However, to date there has been very little practical experience in construction. Middle...
