Abstract
  In this work, the mechanical behavior of strata deformation due to drilling and surface loading is investigated using a 3D physical model. For this purpose, a scaled-down physical model is first designed. Then the tunnel drilling and support system are built. The subsidence experiments performed due ...  Read More

A state-of-the-art review of mechanical rock excavation technologies

A. Ramezanzadeh; M. Hood

Volume 1, Number 1 , January 2010

Abstract
  The first step in mining activities is rock excavation in both mine development and production. Constant pressure for cost reduction and creating an improved/safe work environment for personnel has naturally resulted in increased use of mechanical excavation systems in many mining operations. Also, mechanical ...  Read More
