Study of fractured rock masses deformation in Boukhadra (Tebessa) underground mine empirical and numerical approach (N-E Algeria)

  The purpose of this paper is to assess the engineering geological characteristics of Boukhadra’s iron mine rock mass. Several problems of deformation and stability were frequently encountered during the progress of the exploitation. This phenomenon affects seriously the safety of the miners and the progress of the work. In this research project, we try to estimate the behavior of the host rock mass, its...

Vertical electrical sounding (VES) methods to delineate potential groundwater aquifers in Akobo area, Ibadan, South-western, Nigeria

  Vertical electrical resistivity soundings were conducted in order to delineate groundwater potential aquifers in Akobo area, Ibadan, South western, Nigeria. Twenty-one vertical electrical soundings were conducted using the Schlumberger configuration, covering the area. The data were interpreted with the help of Abaque (master) curve. The geoelectrical sections for the study area were: the topsoil, the clayey...
