The large amount of spoil material produced during the mining process imposes a
significant economic and environmental liability on lignite producers. In this context, the …

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 …

In the surface mining of mineral deposits, land resources suitable for agricultural purposes
are inappropriately spent in large volumes. When mining deep open pits, overburden rocks …

In this paper, an attempt has been made to implement various machine learning techniques
to predict the factor of safety of a natural residual soil slope and a man-made overburden …

In opencast mining operation, the stability of waste materials stands at high priority from the
safety and economic perspective. Poor management of overburden (OB) dump results the …

The present paper focuses on designing an artificial neural network (ANN) model and a
multiple regression analysis (MRA) that could be used to predict factor of safety of dragline …

Coal mine waste rock is generated during coal extraction and is usually disposed of in non-
engineered dumps. The dumps are extended vertically to 100–120 m height to reduce the …

The depths of open-pit mines have been increasing in the last few decades. This
transformation generates a vast amount of waste rock material per unit mining area …

The relevance of research underlies in the fact that numerical models of technogenic rock
arrays can predict and evaluate structural and mechanical properties, which are very difficult …

Problems of waste dumps induced by foundation weaken are quite common. A series of
base friction tests were conducted in order to reveal the unloading deformation mechanism …
