Branching of Hydraulic Cracks in Gas or Oil Shale with Closed Natural Fractures: How to Master Permeability
Saeed Rahimi-Agham, Viet-Tuan Chau, Huynjin Lee +7
While the hydraulic fracturing technology, aka fracking (or fraccing, frac), has become highly developed and astonishingly successful, a consistent formulation of the associated fr…
Statistical Extraction of Useful Concrete Creep Data from Imperfect Customary Tests
Mohammad Rasoolinejad, Saeed Rahimi-Aghdam, Zdenek P. Bazant
The reporting and evaluation of creep tests of concrete is complicated by the fact that creep is significant even for the shortest observable load durations. Compared to the strain…
Why Fracking Works and How to Optimize It
Z. P. Bazant, M. Salviato, V. T. Chau
Although spectacular advances in hydraulic fracturing, aka fracking, have taken place and many aspects are well understood by now, the topology, geometry and evolution of the crack…
