INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY OF USING RECYCLED FIBRES INSTEAD OF INDUSTRIAL FIBRES IN SHOTCRETE

open access: yesRudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
Shotcrete is one of the standard systems used in the tunnelling industry, including cement, sand, water, and additives. Adding fibres to shotcrete is a method to enhance its mechanical properties.

An Optimization Method for Mix Proportion of Wet-Mix Shotcrete: Combining Artificial Neural Network with Particle Swarm Optimization

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Wet-mix shotcrete has been widely used to support roadways during the excavation of underground mining. In practice, the mix proportion of wet-mix shotcrete plays a key role in later successful application.

Implementation of a new time-dependent shotcrete constitutive model for 3D tunnel modeling

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Shotcrete behaviors, including modulus and compressive strength, are highly time-dependent. Moreover, freshly applied shotcrete is subjected to loading immediately after application, making its realistic representation both essential and challenging in ...

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).
