Influence of Natural Fiber Derived from Agricultural Waste on Durability and Micro-Morphological Analysis of High-Strength Concrete

This research focuses on the investigation of durability behavior and microstructural analysis for M70 grade of high-strength concrete (HSC) with the influence of alccofine, banana fiber (BF), and coir fiber (CF).In this investigation, cement was partly supplanted by 15% of alccofine content in weight.Two types of natural fibers, banana and coir fi

An Efficient Numerical Model for the Evaluation of the Productivity Considering Depletion-Induced Plastic Behaviors in Weakly Consolidated Reservoirs

Efficient and accurate modeling of rock deformation and well production in weakly consolidated reservoirs requires reliable and accurate reservoir modeling techniques.During hydrocarbon production, the reservoir pressure is dropped, and rock compaction is induced.In such depletion-induced reservoir rock deformation, both elastic and plastic deforma
