(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The usual objective of well logging is to determine the physical properties of underground formations and the nature of the fluids contained within the pore space. Porosity and fluid saturations are needed to estimate ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Room-temperature, compression tests at strain rates from 10⁻² to 10 s⁻¹ are run on Charcoal Granodiorite to 0.45 GPa confining pressure and on Berea Sandstone and Indiana Limestone to 0.25 GPa confining pressure. For each ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Laboratory hydraulic facture experiments are conducted on monolithologic and dilithologic layered rock specimens as a function of interfacial normal stress to determine the relative influence of the interfacial shear ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Greater than 20,000 small and medium sized dams use excavated emergency spillway channels to handle flood flows. More than 95% of these dams have never experienced a spillway flow. However, because a great number are less ...
