A stochastic simulation framework for truck and shovel selection and sizing in open pit minesBy S. Frimpong, S. R. Dindarloo
Material handling in open pit mining accounts for about 50% of production costs. The selection and deployment of efficient, safe, and economic loading and haulage systems is thus critical to the produ

A quantitative evaluation of the load bearing capacity of ground and characteristic curves of tunnelingBy T. Nishimura, H. Kiyama, K. Wakimoto
Discussion on the load bearing capacity of ground and the stability of tunnel is presented. We derive a simplified solution of a circular lined-tunnel in an elastic ground. The solution results in a b
