One of the undesirable phenomena in the surface mines, which results in various hazards
for human and facilities, is flyrock. It seems that the careful study of the subject and its effects …

Flyrock is considered as one of the main causes of human injury, fatalities, and structural
damage among all undesirable environmental impacts of blasting. Therefore, it seems that …

In geotechnical engineering, stabilization of slopes is one of the significant issues that needs
to be considered especially in seismic situation. Evaluation and precise prediction of factor …

Causality has been a subject of study for a long time. Often causality is confused with
correlation. Human intuition has evolved such that it has learned to identify causality through …

Drillability is one of the significant issues in rock engineering. The drilling rate index (DRI) is
an important tool in analyzing the drillability of rocks. Several efforts have been made by the …

Deformability of rock mass significantly influences its behavior and is, therefore, an important
consideration for the design of underground structures. The deformation modulus of rock …

Radiation Detection: Concepts, Methods, and Devices provides a modern overview of
radiation detection devices and radiation measurement methods. The book topics have …

Stabilization of slopes is considered as the aim of the several geotechnical applications
such as embankment, tunnel, highway, building and railway and dam. Therefore, evaluation …

Experimental measurements of the response of BF 3 detector to a 3 Ci Am–Be neutron
source for three different reflecting materials, ie, aluminum, wood, and Perspex of varying …

The estimation of thermo-physical properties of materials at high temperatures requires the
development of robust and fast-enough direct models that takes into account the strong …
