Geothermal resources, Frio Formation, South Texas Geothermal resources, Frio Formation, South Texas 1974

A preliminary study of the Frio sand distribution and formation temperatures and pressures was undertaken in order to define prospective areas in which a more detailed reservoir analysis is necessary prior to the selection of a site for a geothermal well.

Pavement Deflection and Seismic Refraction for Determining Bedrock Type, Depth, and Physical Properties beneath Roads Pavement Deflection and Seismic Refraction for Determining Bedrock Type, Depth, and Physical Properties beneath Roads 2000

We examined the relationship between three data types--geologic maps, measurements of pavement deflection under load, and seismic refraction data-- from diverse geologic settings in Texas to determine (1) whether geologic maps and seismic refraction data might be used to interpret deflections and
