The connection between rock mechanics and the world of mines and quarries is evident, as
most primary resources needed by industry are concentrated in mineral deposits, often in …

Quarry yield can be increased by choosing the appropriate cutting direction for the primary
blocks. This increase will reduce the extraction costs and the resulting environmental impact …

This paper presents a 3D algorithm for finding the optimum cutting direction in ornamental
stone quarries aiming at maximizing the recovery ratio of blocks through tackling the fracture …

Ornamental stones are natural building materials, extracted from quarries, which need to be
cut and processed sustainably. Natural discontinuities adversely affect the sawing/cutting of …

Due to various geological processes such as tectonic activities fractures might be created in
rock mass body which causes creation of blocks with different shapes and sizes in the rock …
