The safe and sustainable design of rock slopes, open-pit mines, tunnels, foundations, and
underground excavations requires appropriate and reliable estimation of rock strength and …

In this research work, a comprehensive study is conducted to predict flyrock as a typical and
undesirable phenomenon occurring during the blasting operation in open-pit mining …

Backbreak (BB) is a detrimental outcome of blasting activities in mineral extraction
processes within mines. It involves the development of fractures and cracks at considerable …

Flyrock is known as one of the main problems in open pit mining operations. This
phenomenon can threaten the safety of mine personnel, equipment and buildings around …

The fragment size of blasted rocks considerably affects the mining costs and production
efficiency. The larger amount of blasthole diameter (ϕh) indicates the larger blasting pattern …

This study aims to make a unique contribution to the existing body of knowledge about rock
strength and deformation parameters and crack stress thresholds through intelligent and …

The impact of weak filling joints with multiple angles on the energy dissipation mechanism is
significant for surrounding rock engineering to prevent and mitigate disasters. In the present …

The strength of jointed rock mass is significantly affected by discontinuities. In particular, the
impact of non-persistent joints on the strength of rock mass needs to be investigated further …

One of the adverse consequences of the blasting in the mineral extraction process in mines
is back-break (BB) so that development of many fractures and cracks at large distances …

This paper presents a comprehensive study on applying machine learning (ML) techniques
to discriminate seismic events in deep underground mining from blast and noise records …
