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 characterization of rock mass units is conducted by assigning RMR89 and Q classification values to the basic rock units. Extensive laboratory test work is carried out to find the geotechnical material properties of the ore and the wall rocks. Based on the results of rock mass classification efforts, empirical stope dimensioning work and detailed numerical (finite element) modeling for the stability analyses of pillar-stope layouts and overall mine are conducted. Finally, it is concluded that planned long hole stope dimensions appear to be unsafe and drift and fill mining method appears to be more suitable for this project.

Analysis Of Interprovincial Service Flows For The Determination Of Provincial Hierarchy In Turkey Berkman, Gülden (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1976) In this study, the analysis of interprovincial service flows -which is treated as complementary to the analysis of interprovincial commodity flows- will be presented. Thus, the resulting optimum distribution system can formulate the interprovincial, spatial hierarchical pattern. To give the interrelationships as a whole, the analysis will be carried out at the province scale, each province being considered a region. The method of Boudeville is resorted to for the computation of service flows. However, a dis...
Viscoelastic behavior of stock indices Gündüz, Güngör; Guenduez, Yalin (Elsevier BV, 2010-12-15) The scattering diagram of a stock index results in a complex network structure, which can be used to analyze the viscoelastic properties of the index. The change along x-or y-direction of the diagram corresponds to purely elastic (or spring like) movement whereas the diagonal change at an angle of 45 degrees corresponds to purely viscous (or dashpot like) movement. The viscous component pushes the price from its current value to any other value, while the elastic component acts like a restoring force. Four ...
STATISTICAL PARAMETERS CHARACTERIZING THE SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF SELECTED SOIL HYDRAULIC-PROPERTIES Ünlü, Kahraman; BIGGAR, JW; MORKOC, F (Wiley, 1990-11-01) The knowledge of the statistical parameters of the variance, sigma-2, and the correlation scale, lambda, characterizing the spatial structures of the log of the saturated hydraulic conductivity, lnK(s), pore size distribution parameter alpha, and the specific water capacity, C, is required in stochastic modeling in order to understand the overall response of large-scale heterogenous unsaturated flow systems. These parameters are estimated assuming second-order stationarity and an exponential semivariogram ...
Geotechnical characterization and rock mass classification of the Antalya karstic rock masses Sopacı, Evrim; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2012) This thesis identifies the geotechnical parameters of the Antalya karstic foundation rocks (travertine/tufa), which are highly variable in nature, by means of geological observations, geotechnical site investigations, and field and laboratory geomechanics tests to examine karstic (mainly tufa) rock mass behavior. Several geotechnical parameters such as porosity, seismic wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, etc. that are thought to have significant influence on roc...
Data Mining in Deductive Databases Using Query Flocks: Extended Abstract Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2002-12-01) An important technique for extracting useful information, such as regularities, from usually historical data, is called as association rule mining. The query flocks technique, which extends the concept of association rule mining with a "generate-and-test" model for different kind of patterns, can also be applied to deductive databases. In this paper, query flocks technique is extended further, with view definitions including recursive views. We have designed architecture to compile query flocks from datalog...
