This paper describes the results of drillability studies on rotary blasthole drillings for lignite overburden series at open pit lignite mines in Turkey. Field and laboratory studies are carried out at 96 different locations of 16 lignite mines to determine formation properties and to obtain drill performance data such as penetration rate, thrust, RPM. The obtained data analysed and the relation between some rock properties such as uniaxial compressive strength, cohesion, tensile strength, unit weight, impedance and penetration rate have been established. Among these rock properties, uniaxial compressive strength has been selected as a single parameter giving the highest correlation coefficient and to produce simple and practical relation. Finally thrust and RPM requirements are investigated and a chart based on uniaxial compressive strength is proposed to estimate thrust, RPM and corresponding penetration rate.

Performance assessment of hydraulic and cable shovels Karpuz, Celal; Muftuoğlu, Yadikar (1992-04-01) In this paper, performance assessment studies for hydraulic and cable shovels carried out on a nationwide scale in the surface lignite mines of Turkish Coal Enterprises are explained. The work was involved manual stopwatch surveys of shovel dig cycle times, estimation of bucket filling and hourly excavation capacity of shovels. The accumulated data is compared with the literature values in order to be evaluated in terms of ease of digging. The observed bucket size ranges of hydraulic and cable shovels varie...
Convergence behaviour - Packing relations of full extraction gate roadways at OAL lignite mine ISTANBULLUOGLU, YS; Karpuz, Celal (1997-09-01) This paper describes the results of convergence measurements conducted about five years for the re-use gate roadways at OAL lignite mine in Turkey. Double lignite seams separated with a marn layer, are mined with longwall retreating mining system at the mine. Rib pillar has been abandoned and gate roadways were planned to be packed for the re-use of full extraction. Various packing systems have been attempted, namely three rows of wooden chock, one row of wooden chock plus concrete wall and concrete wall on...
Stability analyses of the dump site culvert in Tınaz surface mine Özcan, Ömer Can; Ünal, Erdal; Department of Mining Engineering (2003) In this thesis, studies associated with the stability analyses of the box-shaped dump-site culvert constructed in Tınaz Surface Mine of Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKİ) are presented. In addition, stability conditions of other culvert alternatives are evaluated. Existence of creeks in a surface mining area is a significant factor to be considered in selection of dump-site location. Since, the dumped overburden material on the valley acts as a barrier and behaves like a dam causing flood problem behind the dum...
Seismic response of a rubble mound breakwater in Turkey Yuksel, Y; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Ozguven, O; Isik, NS; Cevik, E; Sumer, BM (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2004-12-01) This paper presents analyses of seismically induced deformations at Eregli Fishery Port breakwater during the 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit), Turkey earthquake. The paper discusses: (a) observed ground deformations and displacements after the earthquake; (b) the results of field investigations by means of borings including standard penetration tests; (c) analyses of observed deformation mechanisms by a suite of methods; and (d) the possible contribution of soil liquefaction rupture on the observed deformations.
Modeling anaerobic dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls Demirtepe, Hale; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2012) This study aims to investigate the fate of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediments via using an anaerobic dechlorination model (ADM). PCBs are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, accumulated mostly in aquatic sediments. Significant attention was placed on the anaerobic dechlorination of PCBs since this process leads to the conversion of highly-chlorinated biphenyls to lower chlorinated ones, resulting in less toxic and more biodegradable congeners. An ADM was developed previously for the identificati...
