Seismic Imaging of Halokinetic Sequences and Structures With High‐Resolution, Dual‐Element Acquisition, and Processing: Applications to the Gassum Structure in Eastern Jutland, Den... by M. Westgate, K. Kucinskaite, E. Konstantinidis, A. Malehmir, M. Papadopoulou, U. Gregersen, M. Keiding, M. Bjerager

“…The asymmetric growth of the dome suggests uneven salt loading during its genesis, influencing local stress fields and structural development, with evidence of syn‐tectonic subsidence that produced salt welds. This is supported by the presence of stratigraphic wedges and an increased depth of imaged horizons within steeper flanks of the dome. …”

Survey algorithm for cold and hot water supply systems of residential buildings by N. A. Makisha, V. A. Chukhin

“…Fistulas were found on horizontal sections, on turns, in places where pipelines are welded. When laying pipes in parallel in a horizontal plane, it is necessary to bypass the pipes located next to the risers, which leads to the appearance of U-shaped or U-shaped contours of horizontally laid pipes. …”

Engineering geological evaluation of Bowa Dayole dam site, North Shewa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia by Ashu Fekadu, Yadeta C. Chemeda, Shankar Karuppannan, Endalu Tadele Chala

“…Despite this, the engineering geology is complicated by the presence of highly fractured and weathered aphanitic basaltic rock, along with a weak unwelded to welded tuff rock mass in the dam foundation. An engineering geological evaluation of the dam site and of the reservoir rocks and soils has addressed these challenges. …”
