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 collected and prepared for experiments to obtain intact rock properties. Inparticular, it is almost impossible to represent field conditions in experimental environmentscompletely. A well-known example of this challenge is the representation of discontinuities on site. Atthis point, using current technologies could improve the level of representation of specimens where 3Dprinters could be used to manufacture existing discontinuity planes that reduce the strength of intactrock material. In this context, a 3D printed discontinuity plane is used to prepare concrete mortarspecimens. Static deformability experiments of these samples were completed to determine thestrength parameters. As a result, the uniaxial compressive strength value of concrete samples withoutdiscontinuity planes was obtained in addition to the samples with rough, wavy, and smoothdiscontinuity planes. Finally, the results were compared with stress concentration factors obtained fromthe numerical models.

Determination of instantaneous breaking rate by Geological Strength Index, Block Punch Index and power of impact hammer for various rock mass conditions
Aksoy, C. O.; Ozacar, V.; Demirel, Nuray; Ozer, S. C.; Safak, S. (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-01)
In mining and construction industries, selection of appropriate excavation method and equipment significantly affects the project feasibility. In the selection, the most important parameters are the geomechanical properties of the rock mass in the excavation route as extensively reviewed in literature. The most widely used geomechanical parameter is uniaxial compressive strength (UCS). However, UCS laboratory test requires time consuming and expensive sampling and core sample preparation processes, which ca...
Review of Trend Tests for Detection of Wear Out Period for Mining Machineries
Gölbaşı, Onur; Demirel, Nuray (2015-04-17)
Machinery systems are extensively utilized in all mining stages from beginning to end of ore production. They are capital-intensive systems and substantial amount of money is spent annually to keep their functionalities in desired levels. Therefore, implementation of effective maintenance strategy has a vital importance to prevent unexpected breakdowns due to failures and to minimize operational cost. These maintenance strategies can be constituted effectively regarding functional and structural dependencie...
Assessment of overtopping reliability and benefits of a flood detention dam
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Canadian Science Publishing, 2008-10-01)
There is a growing tendency to assess safety levels of existing dams and to design new dams using probabilistic approaches according to project characteristics and site-specific conditions. This study is a probabilistic assessment of the overtopping reliability of a dam, which will be designed for flood detention purpose, and will compute the benefits that can be gained as a result of the implementation of this dam. In a case study, a bivariate flood frequency analysis was carried out using a five-parameter...
Determination of optimum overall slope angle for an open pit iron mine
Akdağ, Selahattin; Başarır, Hakan; Department of Mining Engineering (2015)
Currently, vast majority of the mineral extraction is conducted by open pit mining operations. With the improvements in mining industry, mines have become progressively deeper leading to slope stability problems. Therefore, slope stability assessment has gained more significance for geotechnical engineering. Moreover, deepening the open pit mines has revealed the necessity of designing optimized slopes with regard to the economic viability. Steepening the ultimate slope of an open pit as much as possible mi...
A comparative life cycle assessment of material handling systems for sustainable mining
Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Demirel, Nuray (2016-06-01)
In this comprehensive LCA comparison study, main objectives are to investigate life cycle environmental impacts of off-highway mining trucks and belt conveyors in surface mining. The research methodology essentially entails determination of the functional unit as 20,000 tons/day coal production transported for 5 km distance. After the system boundary was selected as the entire life cycle of material handling systems including pre-manufacturing of steel parts and plastic components, manufacturing, transporta...
