Measurement of acoustic emission and interpretation of its results during excavation of a rock cliff with opening joints
By 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 oxides
By 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

Solutions to common design and operating problems in spiral circuits
By R. Abela
In over ninety per cent of mineral sand plants, the most commonly used equipment is the spiral concentrator. The tonnage treated over typical spiral plants can range from as low as 200 ton per hour up

Practical Method for Measuring Anisotropy of Rock Using a Hollow Cylinder
By K. Shin
Determining the anisotropy of rocks has in the past been difficult and rarely attempted in engineering practice. Here we have developed a new practical methodology for measuring orthotropic anisotro

Early shaft reef removal at Beatrix No. 3 Vertical Shaft
By J. W. Klokow, S. L. Mulder
Early removal of the shaft reef is usually considered necessary on deep level South African gold mines to avoid damaging stress build-up associated with traditional shaft-protection pillars. In the ca

Fundamentals Of Freeze Lining Behaviour In Ilmenite Smelting (3a57d3de-509b-4f93-b2e1-a89185adab8b)
Changes in reductant and energy inputs which are required to adjust the slag composition in an ilmenite smelter to a higher or lower FeO content are calculated. The calculated changes are based on the

Elasticity anisotropy in Oshima Granite
By A. Golshani, M. Oda, K. Suzuki, T. Takemura
Anisotropic behaviours of OhshimaOshima granite were investigated by carrying out uniaxial compression tests, together with observations of microcracks under an optical microscope. The elastic modulus

Stability of underground opening in rock salt
By C. Erichsen, J. Werfling
ABSTRACT: A three-dimensional elastic constitutive model for rock salt is proposed. This stress strain law takes into account the three phases of creep (transient, steady state and accelerated creep),

Measurements and analyses of blasting vibrations
By J. Werfling, J. R. Kiehl
SUMMARY: The effects of blasting on structures are assessed on the basis of the maximum amplitudes of the occuring vibration velocities. If the standard values in the German Standard DIN 4150 are not

Hazard caused by mining gases in the area of abandoned underground mines in Poland
By M. Borowski, N. Szlazak, D. Obracaj
Methods of research and control of the intensity of gas inflow to undersoil layers, after the mines were abandoned are presented in the paper. Gas migration causes them to penetrate to lower storeys o

Preliminary assessment of rockfall hazard based on GIS data
By V. Labiouse, M. Jaboyedoff
GIS documents are of great interest for a quick and low-cost determination of areas endangered by rockfalls. They allow (i) the detection of potential instabilities from steep slopes and cliff areas,

Dealing with Expansive Rocks in the Los Quilos and Chacabuquito Water Tunnels Andes Mountains of Central Chile
By S. O. Castro, R. E. González, L. E. Velasco, J. M. Van Sint, P. V. Lois
Abstract Several zones with expansive rocks were encountered during construction of two tunnels of the water conduction system for the Chacabuquito Hydropower Plant, located in the Aconcagua river

Rock mass defect patterns and the Hoek-Brown failure criterion
By S. Read, G. Cook
The Hoek-Brown failure criterion is often applied to a wider range of rocks than the isotropic rock masses to which it is strictly applicable. This paper evaluates the patterns of defects in rock mas
