Karst in interbedded carbonates and evaporites has been reported to have important and complex impacts on reservoir. It is significant for exploration and karst geology. Here, we report such a new case from Middle Tri...
Evaporites, such as salt and potash, pose unique problems to ground-support designs that are not encountered in other rock types. Evaporites are subject to continual creep and no amount of ground support can successfu...
