The architecture of the turbidity current sediment waves exhibits intricate morphologies and patterns on the Indus Fan channel levee backslope. The sediment waves are present on the channel levee of Plio-Pleistocene age and are absent in the deeper sections of the study area. The architecture of channel levee backslope on the Indus Fan is poorly understood. We used seismic interpretation techniques and modelling by utilizing high-resolution seismic data to approach this problem. The morphological variations in wavelength, crest dimensions and potential wave formation patterns suggest the autogenic and allogenic processes associated with wave development. Wavelengths reach up to 1473 m with an average of 486.84 m and the height of the levee ranges between 10 m and 60 m (average 30 m). The angle of the channel levee and dimension of the sediment wave here are independent of each other. Low angle levees have accommodated high dimension sediment waves and vice versa at multiple points downslope. Characteristically, the waves have formed on the outer levee (usually left) of the channels marked by steep margins suggesting that flow overspill caused the development of the waves. Generally, the younger sediment waves followed the patterns of older sediment waves, but the varying trends are often observed in the study area. The patterns of the sediment waves towards the younger sections of the levee indicate the modified and varying architectural style of growth. Sediment waves are generated by downslope turbidity currents. However, the deformation features have also possibly triggered the development of sediment waves.

With respect to mining sequence, this article intends to investigate the impact of pillarless centre-out stoping patterns (e.g. pyramidal sequences) on the performance of mine haulage drifts (e.g. ore access units), the tonnage of unmined ore at risk, and the required quantity of fill material. Using RS2D software, a two-dimensional, elasto-plastic finite-element model for a haulage drift located at 1200m below the surface in the orebody’s footwall has been built. The spread of yielding zones into the rock mass around an access drift and unmined stopes is used to assess mine haulage drift stability and estimate the amount of unmined ore at risk owing to local mining activity. The findings are presented and discussed in terms of the size of failure zones, the number of tonnes of unmined blocks at risk, and the amount of backfill materials required, all in relation to the mining stage. The findings show that haulage drift stability is rapidly diminishing. The drift roof begins to deteriorate at an early stage (after mining step 3). In the drift roof, left wall, floor, and right wall, failure zones measured 1.55m (step 3), 2.28m (step 4), 2.57m (step 5) and 1.88m (step 5) accordingly. After mining step 4, there was a total of 905 m3 of unmined ore at risk (4100 tons), and after mining step 5, a total of 1500 m3 (30 tons) of back fill material was required to strengthen stopes.

Unlike most military high explosives, which are characterized by an almost plane detonation front, ammonium nitratebased commercial explosives, such as ANFO (ammonium nitrate/fuel oil mixture) and emulsion explosives, are characterized by a curved detonation front. The curvature is directly related to the rate of radial expansion of detonation products in the detonation driving zone and the rate of chemical reactions, and it is one of the characteristics of nonideal explosives. The detonation theories used to model the nonideal behaviour of explosives require both reaction rate and rate of radial expansion to be known/specified as input data. Unfortunately, neither can be measured and what is mostly used is a link between these rates and parameters which can be more easily measured. In this paper, the Wood-Kirkwood approach of determination of radial expansion through the radius of detonation front curvature and the electro-optical technique for experimental determination of detonation front curvature of ANFO explosives is applied. It was shown that an experimentally determined radius of detonation front curvature vs charge diameter, incorporated in the Wood-Kirkwood detonation theory, can satisfactorily reproduce experimental detonation velocity-charge diameter data for ANFO explosives, especially when the pressure-based reaction rate law is also calibrated (D=1.3 and k=0.06 1/(μs/GPaD)).

The removal of rock masses or their use with surface exploitation requires that this work be done at the lowest possible cost. The reduction of operating costs is done by analyzing each work action, working method, and the possibility of changing them, to have an impact on reducing costs. The drilling angle is one of the most important factors during surface exploitation by blasting. By changing the drilling angle, we achieve a reduction of the total drilling length, to have a reduction of the amount of explosives and other changes during the blasting process which do not greatly affect the cost of blasting. Determining the impact of drilling angle on the cost of blasting is determined by analytical methods and by comparing the results of applied drilling angle methods. During the analytical analysis of the blasting data and the comparison of their results, which was performed to determine the change in the cost of blasting depending on the drilling angle, and it concluded that for the removal of 200000 (m3) rock material, 356167.98 (€) can be saved, by applying the 90° angle drilling method. This change of drilling angle from the projected angle of 63° to the angle of drilling 90°, reduces the total cost of blastings by about 10.69 (%).

The diversity of processes taking place in hillslope agro-ecosystems makes the estimation of vadose zone dynamics rather challenging. This paper presents the first insight into the research of volumetric water content, granulometric composition, meteorological data, precipitation and soil-water isotopic composition conducted within the SUPREHILL project at its vadose zone observatory. The main goals of this research are related to the evaluation of soil-water origin at the hillslope vineyard, but also to the estimation of depths until which precipitation infiltrates and where the occurrence of preferential flow is possible. For that purpose, hydrometeorological data, granulometric composition and stable isotopesof hydrogen (δ2H) and oxygen (δ18O) from precipitation and sampled soil water have been used. The results indicate the existence of a different isotopic signature in soil water, which suggests different infiltration patterns in the investigated area. Also, the results point out that surface runoff, subsurface runoff, and most of the passive wick lysimeters respond to precipitation, while the response of suction probes located at deeper depth is not that evident. This corresponds to the results related to the variation of water content at different depths. All the results indicate the possible existence of a low permeable layer at an approximate depth of 60 cm. Furthermore, preferential flow, if it exists, can be expected from the shallowest depths of the vineyard to a maximum depth of 80 cm. It is expected that an established long-term monitoring network at the SUPREHILL Observatory will give a more precise definition of soil-water behaviour and the existence of preferential flow.

In this research, the dispersion of the Geological Strength Index (GSI) values obtained with quantitative and qualitative approaches has been evaluated in four rock outcrops of different quality. The subjective component associated with qualitative or visual methods has been studied by conducting a virtual survey in a group of forty participants constituted by civil engineers, geological engineers, and mining engineers from Peru, Spain, and Chile, who were given a data sheet with a photograph and a basic description of each rock mass. The results showed that the GSI values fit a normal distribution characterized by a mean value and a standard deviation, which in some cases could present moderate to high coefficients of variation (COVs). This paper also includes the study of the dispersion of the GSI values obtained with quantitative formulations that have been evaluated and incorporated into regional databases to assess trends, mainly in the GSI-RMR’ relationships. The results indicate that the average GSI values reported with both approaches are similar; however, with the quantitative methodologies, COV values were classified as low to moderate, which is better adjusted to the suggested COV values for the GSI. Despite this, quantitative methodologies must be used with caution, taking into account the characteristics of the rock masses on which the relationships have been defined.

A part of the Raša Bay (western Croatia) is an estuary that is fed by the sediment load from the Raša River. The local area had been affected by the former Raša coal industry. The aim of this study was to determine levels of hazardous trace elements (HTEs) in bottom estuarine sediments, fish and mussels collected from two sites downstream of the Raša River mouth, and a wild boar’s kidney donated by hunters. The pseudo-total concentrations of 21 HTEs in sediments were obtained by the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique. The results showed that sediment collected closest to the former Raša coal separation unit Štalije was enriched in V, Sr, Ni, Cu, and Pb. Concentrations of HTEs in flathead grey mullet, wild blue mussels, and wild boar were obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results showed that Pb, Cd and Hg in fish and wild mussels were not elevated compared to the Regulation levels of contaminants in food. Lead and Cd in the kidney of a wild boar exceeded the prescribed maximum values for food. This study warrants further geochemical investigations of the Raša Bay environment.

Training of mining locomotive drivers using simulators will increase the efficiency and intensity of training. Due to this, a decrease in financial and time expenditures for training a driver, an increase in the safety and productivity of his labour will be achieved. The number of errors in the work and damage to equipment, which are sometimes caused by the driver's inexperience will be reduced. The mining train driver's simulator is manufactured as an autonomous training tool with the trainee immersion in a virtual environment that is as close as possible to a real working environment and is a training complex consisting of hardware and software. The software simulates the operation of all locomotive systems, mining sidings infrastructure and an interactive 3D panorama of the environment. In the driver's cabin of a mining locomotive, a real working environment is reproduced, control, alarm and indication elements of the locomotive, as well as other equipment of a real cabin necessary for performing all technological operations are located. Training complexes will never replace real experience in the workplace, but they can quickly increase the qualifications of trainees, develop in them the skills of acting in non-standard and emergency situations, which is extremely difficult in real work conditions.

The main question of this paper is the stress-strain state prediction of the vertical shaft’s combined lining located at the interface of two layers of dolomite and salt. The study predicts geomechanical processes at the contact of the dolomite layer and the salt layer in the vicinity of the vertical shaft’s expanded section, taking into account the operating life of a vertical shaft is equal to 50 years. The results combined lining’s stress-strain state, represented as a four – layer medium, where the external layer is concrete, and the three inner layers are used to account for the heterogeneity of cast-iron tubing and are compared with the results received when taking into account the pipe structure. The solution of the problem was carried out in a three-dimensional statement. The calculation of the tubing lining, considering its actual geometry, will increase the accuracy of the forecast of the stress state of the lining, which in turn will favourably affect the justification of its parameters.

In this paper, tests of some physico-chemical properties of protective epoxy coating on non-alloy structural steel grade type S235JRG2 have been carried out. This is a significant construction material whose use is remarkably important for many steel products such as H beam, I beam, transmission towers, steel pipe etc. Coatings represent one of the ways to protect metal from corrosion. The properties of coating thickness, hardness, gloss, and adhesion were investigated. The same properties were tested by exposing the sample non-alloy steel plates to corrosive conditions of the salt and humid chamber and seawater. Part of the samples prior to application of the coating were immersed to phosphate solution to further investigate the effects of phosphatization on the properties of the coating. After exposure of the plates to the humidity chamber conditions, no traces of corrosion products, cracking or peeling of the coating were found on the surfaces. The plates tested in the sea water and salt chamber showed a minor damage on protective coating. The traitability properties were tested by the Pull off Adhesion test. Force pull adhesion off test shows less value for unphosphated samples than for phosphated ones.
