With the rapid urbanization and shortage of energy, the construction of underground projects
such as urban rail transit, hydropower stations, and coal mines is a general trend. Dust …

Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) have been widely applied to analyze complex, causal-based
systems in terms of modeling, decision making, analysis, prediction, classification, etc. This …

Ground vibration due to blasting is identified as a challenging issue in mining and civil
activities. Peak particle velocity (PPV) is one of the blasting undesirable consequences …

Companies and governments dependent on copper mining need to be able to predict
copper prices in order to make important decisions. Despite the nonlinear and nonstationary …

Fiber-reinforced nano-silica concrete (FrRNSC) was applied to a concrete sculpture to
address the issue of brittle fracture, and the primary objective of this study was to explore the …

In the present study, the air-overpressure (AOp) due to mine blasting is predicted using an
uncertainty intelligence method based on the Z-number reliability and fuzzy cognitive map …

Blasting is widely employed as an accepted mechanism for rock breakage in mining and
civil activities. As an environmental side effect of blasting, flyrock should be investigated …

One of the most undesirable consequences induced by blasting in open-pit mines and civil
activities is flyrock. Furthermore, the production of oversize boulders creates many problems …

Many artificial intelligence techniques have been employed in forecasting dust pollution due
to bench blasting in mining operations. Whereas considering the uncertainty of blasting …

The technological difficulties related with blasting operations have become increasingly
significant. It is crucial to give due consideration to the evaluation of rock fragmentation and …
