  2. 21. Draw control strategy for sublevel caving mines : A holistic approach

    Author : Gurmeet Shekhar; Håkan Schunnesson; Anna Gustafson; Jesper Martinsson; Laeeque Daneshmend; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Draw control strategy; sublevel caving SLC ; loading process; draw point; caving operation; Bayesian statistics; probability models; economic models; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : Sublevel caving is an underground mass mining method used for extracting different types of ores from the earth crust. Mines using sublevel caving (SLC) as the primary mining method are generally highly mechanized with standardized and independent unit operations. READ MORE

  4. 22. Load-Haul-Dump operations in underground mines

    Author : Bartlomiej Skawina; Jenny Greberg; Abubkary Salama; Oliver Langefeld; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LHD; DES; simulation; underground mine; energy consumption; ventilation requirements; orepass loss; production scheduling; process control; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : The research presented in this thesis addresses several aspects of loading operations inunderground mines, in particular tools and equipment selection. It also addresses the flexibilityof the fleet when subject to substantial disturbances, such as ore pass loss, and proposes integration of the scheduling system with discrete event simulation.

  5. 23. Analysis of Excavation Damage, Rock Mass Characterisation and Rock Support Design using Drilling Monitoring

    Author : Jeroen van Eldert; Håkan Schunnesson; Daniel Johansson; David Saiang; Thomas Dalmalm; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Blast damage; Excavation Damage Zone; EDZ; Measurement While Drilling; MWD; Rock support; Rock mass characterisation; Tunnelling; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : Prior to an underground excavation a site investigation is carried out. This includes reviewing and analysing existing data, field data collected through outcrop mapping, drill core logging and geophysical investigations. READ MORE

  6. 24. Managing uncertainties in geotechnical parameters : From the perspective of Eurocode 7

    Author : Anders Prästings; Stefan Larsson; Johan Spross; Rasmus Müller; Kok-Kwang Phoon; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Eurocode 7; Characteristic value; Partial-factor method; Reliability-based design; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Geotechnical engineering is strongly associated with large uncertainties. Geotechnical site investigations are made only at discrete points and most of a soil volume is never tested. A major issue is therefore how to cost effectively reduce geotechnical uncertainties with respect to structural performance. READ MORE

  7. 25. Mechanical properties of stabilized dredged sediments : for sustainable geotechnical structures

    Author : Gregory Paul Makusa; Göran Holm; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : Dredging activities at Ports and Harbors are inevitable for the safe navigation of ships and vessels. Dredged material may range from very fine and contaminated sediments to sand and gravels. While, granular dredged material can be directly utilized in civil engineering applications, fine sediments may require further treatment before use. READ MORE
