Effect of Varying Shear Velocity on the Mechanical Behavior of Jointed Rock Subjected To Lower Normal LoadBy Sumit Maskey
Abstract: : This study investigates the effect of shearing velocity on the mechanical behavior of rock joints, namely, the shear strength, residual strength, joint dilation, its surface roughness and the shearing stiffness under the application of lower normal load. The slower rate of shearing plays an important role in creep and the fatigue effect on jointed rock masses whereas, higher rate of shearing is experienced in the cases of dynamic loadings …

A Case Study of the Krishna Bhir Slope Failure Disaster: Past and Present Scenario at a GlanceBy Sumit Maskey
Abstract: The massive landslide disaster of Krishna bhir has been infamous for its dreadful consequences. This huge landslide in the region led to serious socio-economic and environmental disorders in the vicinity of the region, whose negative impacts were reflected soon in the capital city. In addition to the feeble geology, the blasting and drilling activities, rampant deforestation, heavy monsoon rain and the poor drainage are the engenders for weakening the natural …
