Surface excavation works in tropically weathered rock are often reported to be challenging
due to too many uncertainties such as rock mass and rock properties, environment, selection …

This paper is intended as a contribution to the discussion of the overview of existing
excavatability assessments and their reliability in assessing the state of tropically weathered …

The slope instability was one of the common problems along the road that connects Gutane
Migiru town to Fincha sugar factory, Western Ethiopia. The effect of the problem was intense …

En la presente investigación se elabora un procedimiento para la elección del método de
arranque de las rocas en canteras para áridos, considerando las características geológicas …

Excavatability or rippability, also called diggability, is the ease of excavation to remove
material from the rock mass. The excavation method is assessed using Discontinuity …

The excavatability of rocks is of importance for the selection of suitable and cost–effective
excavation methods not only in mining and quarrying but also in the construction of tunnels …
