Experimental Determination of Compressive, Pulling and Torsional Resistance of Mudcakes using a Triple Action Load Cell AssemblyBy Md. Amanullah
A novel triple action load cell assembly (LCA) was developed to determine three index parameters reflecting compressive, tensile and shear characteristics of mudcakes. The results indicate that the te

Assessment of mass modulus of a weathered argillaceous rockBy Chris M. Haberfield, Neil D. Benson
The assessment of overall modulus (or stiffness) of a fractured weak to moderately strong rock mass is a key parameter in the design of civil engineering works in these materials. It also provides th

Applications of seismic hazard assessment methods in minesBy G. van Aswegen
Large structures in mines (faults, dykes, pillars, abutments) fail when the load exceeds the strength. If the loading system stiffness (LSS, also referred to as the ‘local mine stiffness’) is lower th
