اقرأ المزيدThe primary aim of every twenty-first century mining operation is to extract as much ore as possible in a safe and economical manner. Failure in mine excavation occurs when the shear stress acting on the rock is greater than the shear strength of the rock mass. The stability of rock slopes in open-pit mine and quarry operations is extremely important …
اقرأ المزيدMaterials handling in modern mechanized mining are equipment-centered. Unit operations are characterized by and sometimes identified with the equipment which performs them. Thus field terminology refers to a mining shovel, stripping dragline, or coal loader. The scale of materials-handling equipment in surface mining grows ever larger.
