Application of Rock Mechanics in Surface & Underground Mining

This Bulletin is a ready reference handbook for academicians, researchers and field personnel involved in mining practices and operations. Rock Mechanics is an evolving branch of Mining Engineering and Geosciences that has recently caught attention and momentum among Mining Fraternity worldwide. This publication has been brought out as an endeavour to comprehensively assimilate the scope and reach of this emerging discipline. The design of rock excavations is predominantly based on past experiences, engineering judgments and empirical methods. Rock masses are heterogeneous and vary in their properties and are intersected persistently by discontinuity. Hence, it is a challenge to create realistic simulations of excavation in rock, which is not only unpredictable but also very complex. The numerical modeling techniques and software replacing the traditional methods of rock excavation design. This Bulletin throws insights on techniques of rock mechanics and their utilization in improving productivity and safety in mines and is of valuable reference value to the industry professionals.

Manual of Procedure for Chemical and Instrumental Analysis of Ores, Minerals, Ore Dressing Products & Environmental Samples

This is the revised edition of the Manual. It has been brought out in the backdrop of importance of understanding the concentration of elements and presence of associated elements in a rock or ore. Such analysis shall guide and aid the future course of exploration with reference to the quantum, quality and time frame. Ores and minerals have variety of elements and radicals. A chemist has to choose exact procedure of analysis depending upon the nature of ore samples and radicals/elements to be analyzed. Such each procedure of chemical analysis has its own merits and demerits and selection of method is based on desired accuracy. Rapid and accurate analysis of samples holds the key to success in exploration, mineral-based mining, marketing and assess quality of mineral-based products. This Manual may find useful in mineral industry.
