Geotechnical engineering deals with soils and rocks and their use in engineering
constructions. By their nature, soils and rocks exhibit complex behaviours and a high level of …

Different artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been applied to various aspects of rock
mechanics, but the fact that none of these methods have been used as a standard implies …

Blasting is the most popular method for rock fragmentation in open-pit mines. However, the
side effects caused by blasting operations include ground vibration, air overpressure (AOp) …

One of the main concerns in geotechnical engineering is slope stability prediction during the
earthquake. In this study, two intelligent systems namely artificial neural network (ANN) and …

Blasting is a major component of the construction and mining industries in terms of rock
fragmentation and concrete demolition. Blast designers are constantly concerned about …

A wide variety of artificial intelligence methods have been utilized in the prediction of flyrock
induced by blasting. This study focuses on developing a model based on deep neural …

In mining or construction projects, for exploitation of hard rock with high strength properties,
blasting is frequently applied to breaking or moving them using high explosive energy …

Flyrock is an adverse effect produced by blasting in open-pit mines and tunnelling projects.
So, it seems that the precise estimation of flyrock is essential in minimizing environmental …

Abstract Machine learning and artificial intelligence are the two fields of computer science
dealing with the innovative idea of inducing smartness and intelligence in machines and …
