The secret to streamlined scheduling of mining and civil
engineering projects is a solid understanding of the basic concepts
of rock cutting mechanics. Comparing theoretical values with
experimental and real-world results, Mechanical Excavation in
Mining and Civil Industries thoroughly explains various rock
cutting theories developed for chisel, conical, disc, and button
cutters. The authors provide numerical examples on the effect of
independent variables on dependent variables, as well as numerical
and solved examples from real-life mining and civil engineering
projects using equipment such as: Hard- and soft-ground tunnel
boring machines (TBMs) Roadheaders Shearers Ploughs Chain saws
Raise borers Impact hammers Large-diameter drill rigs Microtunnel
boring machines This book assists students and practicing engineers
in selecting the most appropriate machinery for a specific job and
predicting machine performance to ensure efficient extraction, and
offers background information on rock cutting mechanics and
different mechanical miners.
