Analysis and Study on the Bearing Capacity of Socketed Piles in StronglyWeathered Argillaceous Dolomite in Guiyang by CAI Hang, MU Rui, HUANG Zhihong, XIAO Lina, CHEN Xu, LIU Jiuhong

“…This paper takes the socketed pile in strongly weathered argillaceous dolomite in aprojectin Guiyang as the research object, analyzes the vertical bearing capacity, side resistanceand tip resistance of socketed pile in strongly weathered argillaceous dolomite through self-balanced static load test of foundation pile, and discusses the bearing characteristics ofsocketed pile under such geological condition.The results show that: ①The measured Q-s curve oftest pile conforms to the test rules; ②The axial force of pile is distributed linearly; ③Theaxial force of socketed section changes obviously with the increase of load; ④The verticalbearing capacity of socketed pile instrongly weathered argillaceous dolomite is undertaken by tipresistance and side resistance, which can provide reference for similar projects.…”

Microseismic Monitoring, Positioning Principle, and Sensor Layout Strategy of Rock Mass Engineering by Tianhui Ma, Daoyuan Lin, Chun’an Tang, Kedar Prasad Yadav, Zhiqiang Feng, Ke Ma

“…Thus, the scientific nature of monitoring work is greatly promoted, and the accuracy and advance of the prediction of engineering and geological disasters are improved. In this paper, the fracture and instability of rock can be analyzed by analyzing the microseismic signals produced by rock failure; The location of microseismic source can be determined by multipoint synchronous data acquisition to determine the time when each sensor (at least 5) receives microseismic signals; Combined with practical engineering experience for underground engineering in growth, heading tunnel, put forward only sensor arrangement to take mobile, follow the semienclosed layout network. …”

Analysis and Application of Fractured Carbonate Dual-Media Composite Reservoir Model by Heng Song, Yuan Hu, Erhui Luo, Congge He, Xing Zeng, Shaoqi Zhang

“…For vertical wells in fractured carbonate reservoirs, we can establish a dual-porosity composite reservoir model for well testing interpretation and analysis based on the actual conditions of the reservoir and combined with geological knowledge. The model can be applied to formations with different reservoir properties in the near-well and far-well areas around a single well to analyze the fracture parameters (elastic reserve ratio and channeling coefficient) and the effective flow capacity of formation fluids in the two areas. …”
