Frequency and scale of the blasting events are increasing to boost limestone production. Mines approaching close inhabited areas due growing population limited availability land resources which has challenged management go for safe blasts with special reference opencast mining. The study aims predict distance covered by flyrock induced using artificial neural network (ANN) multi-variate regression analysis (MVRA) better assessment. Blast design geotechnical parameters, such as linear charge...
In mountain terrains of Himalaya, road and highway networks play a vital role in remote areas for transportation, public network all kind socio-economic activities. The stability rock slopes along the roads highways is major concern these hilly regions. Any slope failure may lead to disruption traffic, loss properties lives/injuries as well environmental degradation. unplanned excavations construction or widening purposes undermine slopes. present study incorporates analysis cut NH-109 which...
For the effect of thermal treatment on mode-I fracture toughness (FT), three crystalline rocks (two basalts and one tonalite) were experimentally investigated. Semi-circular bend specimens prepared following method suggested by International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) treated at various temperatures ranging from room temperature (25 °C) to 600 °C. Mode-I FT was correlated with tensile strength (TS), ultrasonic velocities, Young's modulus (YM). Additionally, petrographic X-ray...
This paper reports stability analysis of active and recurrent Amiyan landslide at Kathgodam in Uttarakhand State, India. The height the affected slope is approximately 501 m, having two terraces with varying inclinations. Lower bench, above basement, always fails leads failure paths for others. problem slide further adverse due to fluctuation water level Gaula river, which passing along masses. These rocks mainly belong Siwalik system suffered by many structural disturbances. assessment area...
The physico-mechanical properties of rocks and rockmass are decisive for the planning mining civil engineering projects. Schmidt hammer Rebound Number (RN), Slake Durability Index (SDI), Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS), Impact (ISI) compressive wave velocity (P-wave velocity) important pertinent to characterize rock mass, widely used in geological, geotechnical, geophysical petroleum engineering. rebound can be easily obtained on site is a non-destructive test. P-wave isotropic responses...
Rockfall is a major problem in high hill slopes and rocky mountainous regions construction of highways at these rockfall prone areas often require stable slopes. The causes are presence discontinuities, angle cut slopes, heavy rainfall, unplanned slope geometry etc. Slope one the most triggering parameters for rockfall, when there variations along profile slope. Present study involves hazard assessment road 15 km distance starting from Mahabaleshwar town State Highway-72 (SH-72). vertical to...
