[ 1 ] - Studying Peak Particle Velocity Due to Blast in Development Tunnels’ Face in Coal Stoping

The impact of blast-driven shocks on the safety and stability of the underground coal mines has been well established. The seismic imperfections resulting from blasting depend on the total explosive energy released during blasting and the closeness of the development tunnel face to the stope face. Also, the quality of the rock mass wherein the whole stope face is located might pose considerable...

[ 2 ] - A comparative study of two meta-heuristic algorithms in optimizing cost of reinforced concrete segmental lining

In this work, we tried to automatically optimize the cost of the concrete segmental lining used as a support system in the case study of Mashhad Urban Railway Line 2 located in NE Iran. Two meta-heuristic optimization methods including particle swarm optimization (PSO) and imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) were presented. The penalty function was used for unfeasible solutions, and the seg...

[ 3 ] - تحلیل عددی توزیع فشار و جابجایی در کارگاه استخراج جبهه کار بلند شیبدار زغالسنگ

توزیع تنش ها و روش های تخمین فاصله تعادلی تنش برجا در منطقه تخریب کارگاه استخراج همواره یکی از مباحث چالش برانگیز به جهت غیرقابل دسترس بودن این منطقه بوده است. در هنگام استخراج پهنه های زغالی به روش جبهه کار بلند، طبقات روباره با شدت متفاوت از سقف بلافصل به سمت سطح زمین تحت تاثیر قرار می گیرند. بسته به ویژگی های سنگ، ضخامت منطقه تخریب و نوع و ماهیت طبقات، سقف بلافصل در پشت جبهه کار تا فاصله ای ...

[ 4 ] - Sensitivity Analysis of Stress and Cracking in Rock Mass Blasting using Numerical Modelling

Drilling and blasting have numerous applications in the civil and mining engineering. Due to the two major components of rock masses, namely the intact rock matrix and the discontinuities, their behavior is a complicated process to be analyzed. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of the geomechanical and geometrical parameters of rock and discontinuities on the rock mass blas...
