Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Quantitative assessment of the spatio-temporal correlations of seismic events induced by longwall coal mining

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2022
Rock failure process as a natural response to mining activities is associated with seismic events, which can pose a potential hazard to mine operators, equipment and infrastructures. Mining-induced seismicity has been found to be internally correlated in

Magnitude-Dependent Omori Law: Empirical Study and Theory

open access: yes, 2004
We propose a new physically-based ``multifractal stress activation'' model of earthquake interaction and triggering based on two simple ingredients: (i) a seismic rupture results from activated processes giving an exponential dependence on the local ...

SRT-Ai: Identifying seismic reflection terminations using deep learning

open access: yesApplied Computing and Geosciences
Seismic stratigraphy entails a regional scanning (reconnaissance) of seismic data to identify and annotate seismic reflection terminations. To identify these terminations in modern 3D seismic datasets, interpreters have to examine thousands of inlines ...

Cost Estimation of Structural Components of a Building by considering the Seismic Load on Different Regions

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
Seismic loads should be considered in the cost estimation process as a consequence of changes in structural dimensions. Seismic loads received by buildings vary from one region to another, which are used as a basis for dimensioning structural components.
