Identifying Corresponding Earthquake of Mobarak Abad Landslide, Northeast Tehran, Iran

Erfan Amini; Masoud Mojarab; Hossein Memarian

Volume 14, Issue 4 , October 2023, , Pages 1343-1359

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13339.2453

Abstract
  Landslides are defined as the downward movement of a portion of land materials under the direct influence of gravity. Landslides would get triggered by a wide spectrum of initiative factors such as earthquakes as a site effect of that event. In the vicinity of Tehran, significant historical earthquakes ...  Read More

Adaptive Multi-Size Block Modeling for Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Evaluation

F. Khorram; O. Asghari; H. Memarian; A. Hoseein Morshedy; X. M. Emery

Volume 12, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 339-350

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10596.2010

Abstract
  The key input parameters for mine planning and all subsequent mining activities is based on the block models. The block size should take into account for the geological heterogeneity and the grade variability across the deposit. Providing grade models of smaller blocks is more complex and costly than ...  Read More

Development of a New Experimental Technique for Dynamic Fracture Toughness Measurement of Rocks using Drop Weight Test

Gh. Khandouzi; H. Memarian; M. H. Khosravi

Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2020, , Pages 909-920

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2020.9818.1903

Abstract
  The dynamic fracture characteristics of rock specimens play an important role in analyzing the fracture issues such as blasting, hydraulic fracturing, and design of supports. Several experimental methods have been developed for determining the dynamic fracture properties of the rock samples. However, ...  Read More

A comparison between effects of earthquake and blasting on stability of mine slopes: a case study of Chadormalu open-pit mine

R. Shafiei Ganjeh; H. Memarian; M. H. Khosravi; M. Mojarab

Volume 10, Issue 1 , January 2019, , Pages 223-240

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2019.7535.1607

Abstract
  Dynamic slope stability in open-pit mines still remains a challenging task in the computational mining design. Earthquake and blasting are two significant sources of dynamic loads that can cause many damages to open-pit mines in active seismic areas and during exploitation cycles. In this work, the effects ...  Read More

Determination of scratching energy index for Cerchar abrasion test

M. T. Hamzaban; H. Memarian; J. Rostami

Volume 9, Issue 1 , January 2018, , Pages 73-89

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.5738.1389

Abstract
  Rock abrasivity is an essential factor for selecting cutting tools, estimating tool wear and life, and ultimately, matching various mechanized excavation systems with a given geologic condition. It also assists engineers to determine economic limits of different cutting tools and machines used in civil ...  Read More

Application of Bayesian decision making tool in detecting oil-water contact in a carbonate reservoir

Amir Mollajan; Hossein Memarian; Behzad Tokhmechi

Volume 5, Issue 2 , July 2014, , Pages 91-97

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2014.325

Abstract
  Detection of Oil-Water Contacts (OWCs) is one of the primary tasks before evaluation of reservoir’s hydrocarbon in place, determining net pay zones and suitable depths for perforation operation. This paper introduces Bayesian decision making tool as an effective technique in OWC detecting using ...  Read More

Limestone chemical components estimation using image processing and pattern recognition techniques

F. Khorram; H. Memarian; B. Tokhmechi; H. Soltanian-zadeh

Volume 2, Issue 2 , July 2011, , Pages 126-135

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2011.539

Abstract
  In this study based on image analysis, an ore grade estimation model was developed. The study was performed at a limestone mine in central Iran. The samples were collected from different parts of the mine and crushed in size from 2.58 cm down to 15 cm. The images of the samples were taken in appropriate ...  Read More
