In the past studies about the mining method selection process, which is among the most critical aspects in the mining engineering discipline, there are attempts to build up a systematic approach to make this selection. But, these approaches work based on static databases and fail in inserting the intuitive feelings and engineering judgments of experienced engineers to the selection process. In this study, a hybrid system based on 13 different expert systems and one interface agent is developed, to make mining method selection for the given ore-bodies. The learning procedure to insert the expertise of the experienced engineers to the selection process, works based on a neuro-fuzzy model, combining the TSK model of the fuzzy theory and a two layered neural network with the utilization of the back-propagation algorithm. Again, to supply the maximum assistance to the users, the agent executes the system's tutoring procedure in case an inexperienced user enters the system, to complete his/her missing knowledge about mining method selection. The system that is being developed in this study can be introduced as the first example of dynamic, intelligent assisting and tutoring systems in the mining profession.

Ore-age: a hybrid system for assisting and teaching mining method selection Guray, C; Celebi, N; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Pasamehmetoglu, AG (2003-04-01) Mining method selection is among the most critical and problematic points in mining engineering profession. Choosing a suitable method for a given ore-body is very important for the economics, safety and the productivity of the mining work. In the past studies there are attempts to build up a systematic approach to help the engineers to make this selection. But, these approaches work based on static databases and fail in inserting the intuitive feelings and engineering judgments of experienced engineers to ...
Cutting performance assessment of a medium weight roadheader at Çayırhan coal mine Keleş, Serhat; Bölükbaşı, Naci; Department of Mining Engineering (2005) In this thesis, in-situ instantaneous cutting rates of boom type, medium-weight milling type roadheaders (Mk-2B) at Çayırhan Coal Mine are determined by studying previous performance tests and carrying out additional underground cutting tests. Some rock properties such as uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, Cone Indenter hardness, Shore hardness, Schmidt hammer rebound hardness and laboratory cutting specific energies are determined by laboratory tests for the rock and coal types encountered in...
Flooding analysis and slope stability assessment due to a confined aquifer in the Elbistan-Çöllolar open cast mine Yoncacı, Selin; Tutluoğlu, Levent; Department of Mining Engineering (2009) Groundwater can be a critical issue to be considered in civil engineering, mining engineering and interdisciplinary fields. Karstic structures and aquifers enclosing groundwater are potential risks in case they are not studied in detail. Enclosed groundwater can result in floods at pit bottom or can cause instabilities of permanent pit slopes. This study is about analyses of flooding possibility at the pit bottom and possible instabilities of pit slopes in the Elbistan-Çöllolar open cast coal mine due to th...
Indicator-based sustainability assessment for the mining sector plans: Case of Afsin-Elbistan Coal Basin Yaylaci, Evren Deniz; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (Elsevier BV, 2016-08-01) Environmental, social and economic impacts of the mining sector are evaluated separately or holistically with different tools at the project- and strategic-level in order to achieve effective resource management and to prevent unsound mining operations. As coal is one of the extensively utilized primary energy sources in the world, the coal mining and its negative impacts are criticized frequently in terms of sustainability criteria. Therefore, integrating the sustainability criteria at the strategic level ...
Geotechnical Considerations for Mining Method Selection of a Potential Underground Iron Ore Mine in Mideastern, Turkey Karpuz, Celal (null; 2013-10-01) Geotechnical analysis plays an important role in determining mining method selection. This study presents the geotechnical design analysis of a potential U/G iron ore Mentes Mine at Yahyali province of Kayseri district in Turkey. Iron ore body is initially planned to be mined by using long hole mining method. Detailed geotechnical site investigation and laboratory work are carried out to assess the applicability of the selected mining method. Diamond-drilled borehole cores are logged and geotechnical charac...
