Evolutionary Dynamics of the East African Rift System: Implications for Hydrocarbon Exploration
Abstract: Rifts formation is a complex mechanism that has always generated debate with different models beingfronted, from thermal bulges to cratonic pull, all in an attempt to explain how the rifts form. East Africarift system (EARS), and its associated sedimentary basins within the general regional tectonicframework is one of the most active rifts in the world. The EARS has, over the years, experienced someoil and gas exploration though characteristically low. However, …

Settlement of Soil while Digging
Abstract: While digging of soft soil, collapse of soil takes place. When load of man is more than bearing strengthof soft soil, the soil will settle down. Hence bearing strength of mud soil is found at a particular depthand this is compared with load coming due to man. If weight of man is more as compared to bearingstrength of wet soil, the settlement will occur. The process of excavation in soft …
