Groundwater flow in the Grasberg open-pit mine is governed by fractured flow media.
Groundwater modeling in fractured media requires detailed hydraulic conductivity (K) value …

The hydraulic conductivity of jointed rocks is one of the main input parameters to predict
water inflow to engineering structures that are located in the jointed rocks. Quantification of …

This study proposes an application of the classical rock mass classification concept on the
estimation of in situ hydraulic conductivity of regolith and fractured bedrock which can be …

Mine site characterization often results in the acquisition of geological, geotechnical and
hydrogeological data sets that are used in the mine design process but are rarely co …

Packer tests and slug tests were conducted at 49 points at the Grasberg surface mine,
Indonesia to obtain hydraulic conductivity data. The HC-system approach, which relies on …

Comprehensive information on vertical variations in hydraulic conductivity along a borehole
is indispensable for characterizing the complexity of the hydraulic properties of fractured …

In heterogeneous and fractured rock masses, joints are the most important elements
controlling the hydraulic conductivity. Joints parameters are therefore crucial for estimating …

Hydraulic conductivity is a critical parameter in modeling groundwater flow through fractured-
porous media adjacent to open pit mines, where its variability–driven by multiple factors …

Identifying locations of landslide slip surfaces provides critical information for understanding
the volume of landslides and the scale of disasters, which is essential for formulating …

High rainfall in equatorial regions leads to high groundwater levels or pore pressures and a
