Applications of seismic hazard assessment methods in mines
By G. van Aswegen
Large structures in mines (faults, dykes, pillars, abutments) fail when the load exceeds the strength. If the loading system stiffness (LSS, also referred to as the ‘local mine stiffness’) is lower th

Time-Dependent Behaviour Of Hard Rock In Deep Level Gold Mines
By D. F. Malan
In deep level hard rock mining the rheological behaviour of the rock is important as time-dependent aseismic processes can lead to a stable dissipation of energy thus reducing violent outbursts. Under

Stability design of slopes in carbonatite complexes characterised by brecciation
By D. Moses, J. A. Onyango
Carbonatites are generally competent rock masses with rock mass rating class II rating 60–74. In spite of their competency, they tend to be affected by weak features like manganese-iron veins and/or i

Effect of Crushing on Near-Gravity Material Distribution in Different Size Fractions of an Indian Non-Coking Coal
By S. Mohanta, I. D. Behera, B. Sahoo
"Run-of-mine coal contains particles of different sizes with different specific gravities, and when this coal is crushed, the amount of material present in a particular density class changes. This alt

Technical Note: The Palabora High Reach Rig - Introduction
By D. P. Penswick
The Palabora open pit is scheduled to cease operations in 2002. While the ore body continues below the bottom of the final pit shell, the stripping ratio precludes further economic open pit mining. Pa
