-
(Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 1999-01)The project was planned in two phases. The first phase involved laboratory tests on a continuous miner model for different ventilation and spray systems at the newly built ventilation simulation tunnel at the Klopperbos ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 1999-05)Please read abstract in article.
-
(Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 2000-01)After initial studies by the CSIR indicating that a discrepancy exists in the dust concentration results between gravimetric dust samplers, alternative instruments or methods were sought. In the study that followed; it ...
-
Hood type dust control systems on continuous miner (CM) in an underground bord and pillar coal mine (Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 2000-04)The changing and stricter regulatory environment has caused the mining industries in South Africa to re-look at their individual mine health and safety departments. In 1997, after the report of the Leon Commission of ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2001-10)The French research institute, INERIS, requested the assistance of the CSIR’s Division of Mining Technology in developing further precautionary measures against explosions in their collieries. In response to this approach, ...
-
(Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 2002-10)Despite the much-heralded arrival of the new millennium, improving mine health and safety remains an enormous challenge. Considerable progress with environmental (dust and methane) control in South African mines has ...
-
(Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 2006-07)The increasing mining depths of South African gold mine deposits are resulting in ever-increasing heat loads associated with depth and the geothermal gradient. Together with changes in the mining horizons brought about ...
-
(Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 2006-10)The FutureMine Collaborative Research Initiative has been successfully completed after three years of activity. The main objective of this initiative was to provide applications of research previously undertaken in ...
-
(Mine Ventilation Society of South Africa, 2007-10)No abstract available.
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2008-04)No abstract available
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2009-02)When designing coal mine roof support, it is necessary to account for the uncertainties and variability that inherently exist within the rock mass and support elements. The performance of a support system is affected by ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2009-05)The classical limit equilibrium methods are suspected to be ineffective in predicting the potential for highwall failure in many instances in coal mines around the world. Slope engineers have for many years recognized a ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2010-04)Kriel Colliery has experienced some sub-standard blast results on the overburden. Blast results are considered poor when the fragmentation is too big, back break into the new highwall, capping is experienced and/or ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2010-05)This paper presents a unique method of monitoring the effectiveness of the planning process as well as the execution of mine plans. The method primarily determines the degree of deviation from the original mine plans ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2011)The purpose of the paper is to give an introduction to the concept of fatigue and its causes in the mining industry. By knowing the fundamental role it plays, together with its dynamics, can positively contribute to ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2011-12)The ability of an explosive to break rock is influenced considerably by the extent of confinement in the blasthole. It is believed that confinement is improved by the use of adequate stemming. The aim of this paper is to ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2011-12)This paper describes the evaluation of a limit equilibrium model to simulate the behaviour of crush pillars in platinum mines. An analytical model was derived to calculate the residual average pillar stress (APS) values ...
-
The application of the analytical hierarchical process in complex mining engineering design problems (Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2011-12)Mining engineers frequently encounter complex design problems for which the critical components of the design are difficult to quantify or compare. Teams of people typically work on these designs and human perceptions ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2011-12)Beatrix Gold Mine, a deep-level gold mine in the Free State province of South Africa, has the highest methane emission rate of any gold mine in the country. Methane is emitted from underground sources intersected during ...
-
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2011-12)A value assessment model which uses deal objectives, financial and non-financial indicators as a guide to assess value creation in mergers and acquisitions. The extent to which post- merger deal objectives are achieved ...
