The integration of mine simulation and ventilation simulation to develop a ‘Life-Cycle’ mine ventilation systemBy S. G. Hardcastle, C. K. Kocsis
In Canada’s metal mines, ventilation, which requires electricity to operate the fans and fossil fuel for heating, accounts for a significant portion of the overall mine’s underground power consumption

Residual stresses in cylindrical rock samplesBy G. Vouille, P. Bérest
Residual stresses observed in rocks often result from non-compatible initial strains. These stresses can be determined when the incompatibility tensor associated with the initial strain tensor is know

Tunnelling in heterogeneous ground—stresses and displacementsBy K. Grossauer, W. Schubert
For tunnelling in poor and heterogeneous ground a reliable on-site short-term prediction is required to allow a safe and economical construction. With the use of absolute displacement monitoring data

Measurement of acoustic emission and interpretation of its results during excavation of a rock cliff with opening jointsBy H. Sasao, Y. Obara, A. Hirata
In the upper part of the planned location of the portal of a highway tunnel, there was a steep rock cliff with several unstable rock blocks. It seemed that the risk of those rock blocks to fall was ve

The behaviour of individual species in the carbochlorination of titaniferous oxidesBy P. den Hoed, J. Nell
Tests were conducted on samples of rutile, titaniferous slag and ilmenite; each sample was mixed with coke and chlorinated in a bubbling fluidized bed at 1000°C. Profiles of the rates of chlorination
