With the rising trend in electricity usage, the amount of waste associated with the mining and
processing of coal is also rising rapidly. Over the past few decades, improper utilization of …

abstract Regressive coal mining to meet rising electricity demand has resulted in increased
dumps of colliery spoil (CS) and fly ash (FA). These dumps must be adequately managed to …

Slope stability is of significant importance for sustainable development in mining, civil-
engineering, and urban planning. This paper attempted to assess the stability conditions of …

The present research explores the suitability of coal mine overburden (OB) material, as
secondary aggregate in the sub-base and/or base layer of low-volume roads. As low-volume …

Deformation monitoring is a crucial matter to avoid catastrophic failure due to extraction of
resources. Radar data, mainly synthetic apreture radar (SAR) data and their diverse …

Soil dilatancy behavior is crucial in the numerical modeling of slopes for safety factor (SF)
computation. The effect of dilatancy on the SF of stabilized expansive soils has been rarely …

In open-pit mine, safety of internal dumps is a significant pointer on the economic
perspective of the overall project. It has been found in several studies that unplanned and …

Stability of OB dump slope has been a major concern and require a proper design for safe
mining operation. Utilisation of fly ash with OB material for construction of mine haul road …

The increasing quantity of overburden (OB) removal and disposal in external dump needs
proper management for active mining operation. Coal consumption in thermal plants …

Waste dumps are widely used to discharge stripped mine wastes in open pit mining
methods. As mining progresses, the height of the waste dumps will increase gradually …
