- Phosphorus occurs as impurity in 12% CrMoV-steels and tends to enrich at grain boundaries.
- Grouts have numerous applications in construction industry such as joint sealing, structural repair, and connections in precast elements.
- In particulate operations, agglomeration is a vital process as it is inevitable in the pharmaceutical, food, and detergent industries.
- The properties of anchored surrounding rock may vary considerably under complex geological and stress conditions, especially dynamic loading in deep mining.
- For tunnels excavated in soft layered rock strata, the secondary lining is susceptible to asymmetrical pressure and substantial concrete cracking.
- Structure collapse and subsidence represent major geotechnical problems, particularly in areas containing loess, which is a widespread collapsing soil.
- With the development of oil and gas resources, more horizontal wells, extended reach wells and other complex structure wells are drilled today.
- The e ective layout of pipelines for mass transportation of oil/gas is a major area of research in the present world.
- Starch agglomerates are widely applied in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food industries.
- Open-mode fractures in sediments and rock occur both in natural processes and in engineering practice.
- The formation of mineral scale is a persistent and expensive problem in the oil and gas industry.
- The dynamic behavior of soil material is of importance in construction and geotechnical engineering.
- Water flooding is the most widely applied recovery process in both conventional and heavy oil reservoirs.
- Temperature, water, and confining pressure are crucial environmental factors affecting rock strength and deformability.
- recent years, biochar has been widely used in environmental and geotechnical engineering applications, but minimal studies have been done on its influence on soil engineering properties.
- Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is an efficient technology that has been used to develop oil sand resources, and it has been successfully and maturely applied in Canada.
- As novel passive optical components, fiber gratings have a comprehensive prospect in optical communication and sensing systems, due to their excellent optical properties.
- Cement bonded agglomeration process is being considered as an economically and environmentally attractive method of recycling iron rich byproducts from iron and steel plant back to the blast furnace.
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry is a geophysical method widely used in borehole and laboratory applications to nondestructively infer transport and storage properties of rocks and soils as it is directly sensitive to the water/oil content and pore sizes.
- Problems exist in the ecological restoration of rock slope, such as the slide of the soil substrate, the serious loss of the surface soil and the poor growth of vegetation.
