Geohazards threaten human’s well-being in many different ways. Landslide, as a common geohazard in both natural and anthropogenic man-made features all around the world, generally, damage many infrastructures, nature balance, animal habitat and cause even loss of lives for many creatures as well...

During the production of gas condensate from a reservoir, a gas condensate bank may be formed in the near-wellbore region, leading to reduced long-term productivity. The major existing remedial methods for removing the condensate bank include cyclic gas injection, solvent injection, wettability...

Emulsion flooding and heavy oil recovery by in-situ emulsion formation have been reported to show great potential in enhancing heavy oil recovery. Emulsion stability is the key issue controlling the success of this process; conventionally, surfactants were used to facilitate emulsification and...

Cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) is one of the commonly used thermal extraction methods for heavy oil and bitumen. However, CSS is still daunted by the lower oil recovery factor compared with other thermal recovery methods, such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Nano-metal particles, due...

Pavements in cold regions are prone to frost damages during winter as a result of prolong sever below zero temperature. Frost heave can negatively affect the performance and ride quality of the road. At the end of the frost season, when thawing begins in the sublayers, pore water pressure builds...

Mine “tailings”, waste produced by the extraction process, are most typically stored in impoundments behind dams which are often constructed from the tailings themselves. These structures pose a serious geotechnical risk and are difficult to successfully reclaim at the end of mining. As highly...
