Determination of Strength Parameters for Specimens Prepared by 3D Printed Discontinuity Planes
Kırmacı, Alper; Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Yardımcı, Ahmet Güneş (2022-03-22)
Mining activities in sustainable and safely operated underground mines depend on the design ofopenings using rock strength-related parameters representing site conditions as much as possible. Rockspecimens must be collecte...
Thermographic analysis of failure for different rock types under uniaxial loading
Kırmacı, Alper; Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa (2020-12-01)
Mining activities focus on the production of mineral resources for energy generation and raw material requirements worldwide and it is a known fact that shallow reserves become scarce. For this reason, exploration of new r...
FAILURE CHARACTERIZATION OF ROCK ANCHOR BOLTS BY THERMAL CHANGE DETECTION UNDER TENSILE STRENGTH TESTING
Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Kırmacı, Alper (2019-09-01)
Rock bolts are widely used in tunnels, underground openings, and also rock slopes to provide support and attach blocks to therock mass in various engineering fields. They have a significant role for the stability of underg...
Initial crack detection of Brazilian discs by thermal change for different types of rock specimens
Kırmacı, Alper; Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa (null; 2019-01-01)
Rock mechanics is an essential field of mining and civil engineering that has many application areas, such as opening drifts, tunneling activities, and slope stability. The understanding of rock behavior is of key importan...
