During the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, extensive liquefaction of sand-like gravelly soil deposits was observed over an area of about 500 × 200 km 2.Since gravel content significantly affects the stiffness and liquefaction resistance of gravelly soils, it has become an ongoing challenge for engineers to reliably and cost-effectively assess the liquefaction …
Sand deposits occur in strata. A repetitive of sand and clay bed can be noticed within the first 66m of VES 1. Similar situation occurs at VES 2.The thickness of the sand bed increases at deeper horizons and probably the quantity of sands. Hence the site is viable for mining of sand in commercial quantities and best at VES 2 location.
The valuation of diamondiferous deposits depends on: the density distribution; the size distribution of stones; and the selling price structure prevailing at a particular time.
This study evaluates the potentials of liquefaction caused by the 2017 moment magnitude 5.4 earthquake in Pohang City, South Korea. We obtain shear wave velocity profiles measured by suspension PS logging tests at the five sites near the epicenter. We also perform downhole tests at three of the five sites. Among the five sites, the surface manifestations (i.e., …

White sands in Sinai are friable; they represent a valuable source of silica for glass and ceramics, and of silicon for semiconductors. To evaluate the present white sandstone; twenty four samples are gathered from six localities. The samples analyzed physically, petrographically and chemically. Preliminary investigation on the white sand deposits of Abu Zenima area shows …
It is suggested that the primary factors controlling induced settlement are the cyclic stress ratio and maximum shear strain induced in saturated sands by the earthquake shaking and the cyclic strains induced in dry or partially saturated sands, together with the SPT N‐value of the sand and the magnitude of the earthquake.
The procedure for the evaluation of settlement of silty sand deposits following liquefaction is examined by the data obtained using a large triaxial test apparatus. Multiple series of irregularly excited undrained loading tests were conducted on Toyoura sand as well as on other soils with different grain compositions containing silts. Saturated and isotropically consolidated …
Simplified methods of analysis are proposed for estimating probable settlements in either saturated or unsaturated sand deposits subjected to earthquake shaking. It is suggested that the primary factors controlling induced settlement are the cyclic stress ratio and maximum shear strain induced in saturated sands by the earthquake shaking and the cyclic strains induced in …

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Frac sand must be >99% (SiO2 ), therefore two sand deposits (Arduma and Kilo 180 sands) have been selected for this work due to their high silica content as shown in table (1) other required properties were tested and the results are presented and discussed here below. 1.
This paper looks at low-value, high-volume mineral commodities, mainly crushed stone and sand and gravel (aggregate), generally sold by the ton, fob quarry. Dimension or cut stone is generally
complete an understanding of the geology of the expected deposit as possible. Without understanding what kind of deposit one is looking for, it is very easy to either use the wrong prospecting techniques to try and locate it, or even to use the right technique and still miss the deposit. Factors to be considered are: The depositional environment 1.

For example, aftershocks caused recurrent liquefaction of sand deposits, and brought about more severe damages during the 1983 Nihonkai-Chuba earthquake [7], the 2010 Tohoku-Oki earthquake [8], and the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes [9], despite of the overall densification of the sand deposits by mainshocks.

The CO 2 corrosion of carbon steel pipelines used in oil and gas production is exacerbated by the settling of deposits such as sand, resulting in the phenomenon known as under-deposit corrosion (UDC). UDC is often associated with localized attack and the formation of pits, which leads to severe corrosion problems in pipeline operations [1], [2], [3], [4].
