The application of the analytical hierarchical process in complex mining engineering design problems

Kluge, P.; Malan, D.F. (Daniel Francois) (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 ...
Evaluation of a limit equilibrium model to simulate crush pillar behaviour

Du Plessis, M.; Malan, D.F. (Daniel Francois); Napier, J.A.L. (John) (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 ...
