Groundwater Chemical Kinetics and Fractal Characteristics of Karst Tunnel

The textbook "Groundwater Chemical Kinetics and Fractal Characteristics of Karst Tunnel" offers a comprehensive analysis of the geological challenges associated with karst water and the related risks in tunnels. The authors, including Song Lu, Yankai Liao, Jianfang Ding, and Cangsong Li, combine theoretical analyses with practical experiments to investigate the properties of aquifer media and their mechanisms of action. By developing an evaluation model to determine the degree of karst development based on hydrochemical kinetic parameters and the fractal index of karst topography, a new approach is presented to enhance the predictive accuracy of karst and groundwater phenomena. The results of this research are of practical significance for engineers, technicians, and students involved in tunnel and underground construction, providing valuable insights into the prevention and management of geological hazards in karst areas.
