Internal Mine Dump Slope Stability and Failure Zone Identification using 3D Modelling

Kapoor Chand; Radhakanta Koner

Volume 14, Issue 4 , October 2023, , Pages 1105-1119

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13013.2360

Abstract
  In open-pit mine, safety of internal dumps is a significant pointer on the economic perspective of the overall project. It has been found in several studies that unplanned and random deposition of the overburdened material is the main reason for mishaps and failure. The study utilized unmanned aerial ...  Read More

Estimation of Optimum Geometric Configuration of Mine Dumps in Wardha Valley Coalfields in India: A Case Study

R. Koner

Volume 12, Issue 4 , October 2021, , Pages 907-927

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10979.2074

Abstract
  The Wardha valley coalfields, situated in the western part of India, contribute to more than 7% of the national coal production.  The open-pit mining methods are the modes of exploitation of coal in the majority of the mines in the area. Due to the increased depth of working and higher stripping ...  Read More

Wedge Failure Analysis of the Slope Subjected to Uplift Forces by Analytical Method at Chingola Open Pits F & D

V. Mwango Bowa; W. Samiselo; E. Manda; Y. Lei; W. Zhou; A. Shane; S. Chinyanta

Volume 12, Issue 4 , October 2021, , Pages 941-952

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.11333.2115

Abstract
  The influence of variable groundwater has been overlooked in the available literature. Yet, wedge failure induced by variable groundwater is still commonly experienced in sedimentary rock formation in many commercial dams, highways, and surface mine slopes around the world. In this article, a robust ...  Read More

Prediction of slope stability using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system based on clustering methods

H. Fattahi

Volume 8, Issue 2 , April 2017, , Pages 163-177

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2016.637

Abstract
  Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build ...  Read More
