... Copper Limited (HCL) i.e., Khetri Copper mine in India was considered for this research where the host rock is quartzite schist. The mine is operated at a depth of around 475 m and the ore is extracted using the sublevel stopping method. From the finite element model, it was found that the stress state...

... Abstract India has 2% of the total land area of the world but supports morethan 17% of global population. Due to diverse geological environment and geodynamic processes, the country faces several types of geohazards including earthquakes, landslides, tsunami, glacial lake outburst floods...

... is undoubtedly the most challenging activity in hydro power construction. The hydropower tunnelling works in India were mostly accomplished by conventional drilling and blasting methods resulting in time and cost overruns. Now, while the focus is on faster completion of projects, need for an advanced technology...
