Stripping and mining operations at open-pit coal mines are performed mainly by heavy shovel-truck systems (STS). One of the main problems of the STS is a rather low level of its operation quality, an objective assessment of which is an important step in identifying the causes of low quality and effective ways to improve it. The purpose of assessing the STS operation quality is defined as a functional criterion. The next important step of the assessment is to choose the set of indicators that most characterize the STS operation quality. In this article we present the rationale, the general principles for the formation of quality indicators set, the sources and the main dependencies for its determination. For this purpose, modern methods of data collection and processing, analysis and synthesis are used. The ability to assess the STS operation quality is very important for identifying the main directions of improving its operational performance, reaching the optimization of the key performance indicators by the quality criterion, and, as a result, for the possible saving of material and technical resources in the open-pit mining of minerals.

Failure analysis of thin spray-on liner coated rock cores Öztürk, Hasan (2017-09-01) Thin spray-on liners (TSLs) are surface support materials used in mining and civil engineering projects since 1990s with a wide ranging area of application from bolt/mesh support replacement to pillar reinforcement systems. This study presents the investigation of pillar reinforcement capacity of the TSL coated andesite rock core by compression test to mimic pillar reinforcement effect. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), modulus of elasticity (E), and energy absorbance capacity of uncoated and 5 mm co...
SIMULATION-BASED OPTIMIZATION OF MAINTENANCE CREW CONFIGURATION IN MINING OPERATIONS Şahiner, Şahin Furkan; Gölbaşı, Onur; Department of Mining Engineering (2022-2) A mining company is expected to have three essential assets which are human resources, ore reserve to be exploited, and an equipment fleet. On this basis, trucks, excavators, drilling machines, crushers, mills, classifiers, and concentrators are commonly covered in mining equipment fleets. On the other hand, human resource employed in operational activities is vital for labor-intensive production industries like mining. Here, the number and qualifications of people employed in a mining site should be decide...
Development of a virtual reality-based serious game for occupational health and safety training in underground mining Gürer, Servet; Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Sürer, Elif; Department of Mining Engineering (2021-2-5) Mining is a hazardous multi-disciplinary sector for workers and the working environment. It can be said that one of the most important methods to combat these risks is training. These pieces of training are usually given with traditional methods, but thanks to today’s technological developments, new training methods are also emerging, and simulations and serious games have become widely used tools in training. In this study, MINING-VIRTUAL, which is a very detailed and realistic serious game, is introduced....
Reliability analysis for two draglines in Tunçbilek lignite mine Tuncay, Deniz; Demirel, Nuray; Department of Mining Engineering (2014) In modern mining activities, high-capacity complex machines are used and their availability plays a big role on the mine productivity. Draglines are one of the high capacity mining machines which result in decrease in production in case of failure or unavailability. This study aims to determine the effects of different components of two draglines (PAGE 736 and MARION 7820) to their availability and operability by choosing adequate reliability models and conducting fault tree analyses. Reliability analysis w...
Microscopic fuel consumption modelling for haulage trucks using discrete-event simulation Kına, Elif; Gölbaşı, Onur; Department of Mining Engineering (2021-2-5) Mining is one of the machine-intensive sectors, and a vast amount of energy is consumed in many stages of mining operations. Among these operations, haulage systems hold a significant share in energy consumption. At this point, diesel fuel, a form of fossil fuel, is frequently used for haul trucks such that fuel-induced cost becomes a major contributor to the operating cost, especially in surface mining. Fuel consumption also leads to greenhouse gas emissions, in addition to its financial burden. Therefore,...
