Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering
A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...
متن کاملRange Sections as Rock Models for Intensity Rock Scene Segmentation
This paper presents another approach to segmenting a scene of rocks on a conveyor belt for the purposes of measuring rock size. Rock size estimation instruments are used to monitor, optimize and control milling and crushing in the mining industry. We propose a joint analysis of range and intensity images of rocks where sections extracted from range images are used to guide a Model-driven intens...
متن کاملCASMI - A visualization tool for the World Stress Map database
The World Stress Map (WSM) project has compiled a global database of quality-ranked data records on the contemporary tectonic stresses in the Earth’s crust. The WSM 2005 database release contains approximately 16 000 data records from different types of stress indicators such as earthquake focal mechanisms solutions, well bore breakouts, hydraulic fracturing and overcoring measurements, as well...
متن کاملEngineering geological studies used for redesigning and employing a hard rock TBM in soft rock formations of Chamshir water conveyance tunnel
The Chamshir water conveyance tunnel (CWCT) with a length of 7.4 km and boring diameter of 5.3 m is excavated using a refurbished single shield TBM, initially designed to work in hard rock formations. This study focuses on engineering geological issues, which are important for checking the suitability of this machine and proposing required modifications for improving its performance in soft roc...
متن کاملRock Slopes from Mechanics to Decision Making
Rock slope instabilities are discussed in the context of decision making for risk assessment and management. Hence, the state of the slope and possible failure mechanism need to be defined first. This is done with geometrical and mechanical models for which recent developments are presented. This leads with appropriate consideration of uncertainties to risk determination and to the description ...
