... Abstract The results of geomechanical studies to assess the rock burst hazard at the deposits (Kukisvumchorr and Apatite Circus) of the Kola Peninsula are presented in the article. These results are obtained by special set of technical means, including an automated seismic acoustic rock...

... Abstract The old workings may still generate mining menace hazard around the Polish historic salt mines of Wieliczka and Bochnia, despite the fact that adequate protection support have been provided along the underground tourist routes. The water and collapse hazards dominate in underground...

... that aggravates mining conditions, threatens the mine stability and increases working hazards. The violent damage mechanisms in deep mines are rock spalling and strainburst in their most severe forms [1, 2]. Strainbursts are considered the most common rockburst type in deep underground excavations [3]. Typical...

... ABSTRACT: Understanding the behavior of a rock block after detachment is essential to effectively control rockfall hazards and implement protection measures. Rigid body rockfall models allow a more realistic interpretation of rockfall events by representing rock with a real size...

In this article, the authors studied the conditions selected coal mine dumps, which represent challenging situations for the application of slope stability...

The Oregon Rockfall Hazard Rating System (ORHS) provided the basis for initial screening of susceptible zones, ranked...

... will be presented. Finally having a look on socio-economic impacts of these geological instabilities, some recommendation will be presented to be applied for reducing the impacts of those hazards that can be applied in Iran and other countries facing similar challenges. Introduction Many destructive earthquakes...

The effects of these instabilities can led to vehicle damages, injury or death of drivers and passengers as well as economic loss due to road closure (Duncan & Norman 1996). Referring to tunnelling engineering...

Introduction 1.1 Concepts The concepts of ‘hazard’, ‘susceptibility’, ‘vulnerability’ and ‘risk’ have all been used in studies on natural phenomena, corresponding to catastrophic events. Several recent...

Identification of critical mechanism pathways and stable or instable mechanism feedback loops in the mechanism structure can...

..., therefore, implies taking risks, yet knowing the potential hazards, and preventing failures nevertheless. By reviewing our experiences and pondering upon the actual engineering work of a specific tunnelling project, some questions may arise: What is our approach for finding all possible hazards and failure...
