Alireza Afradi; Arash Ebrahimabadi; Mansour Hedayatzadeh

Volume 15, Issue 1 , January 2024, , Pages 323-343

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13370.2460

Abstract
  Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are extensively used to excavate underground spaces in civil and tunneling projects. An accurate evaluation of their penetration rate is the key factor for the TBM performance prediction. In this study, artificial intelligence methods are used to predict the TBM penetration ...  Read More

A New Technical and Economic Approach to Aptimal Plant Species Selection for Open-pit Mine Reclamation Process

Iraj Alavi; Arash Ebrahimabadi; Hadi Hamidian

Volume 13, Issue 4 , October 2022, , Pages 1091-1105

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.12267.2226

Abstract
  Estimating the costs of mine reclamation is a significant part of mine closure projects. One approach to mine reclamation is planting mine areas. In this approach, the optimum selection of plant types is cosidered a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. Once proper plant species are identified, ...  Read More
