This book covers management of mechanized tunnelling with examples
from global projects. It starts with an introduction to mechanized
tunnelling including management of job organization, planning job
sites, portals, or launching boxes in mountains/open fields and
urban areas. The management of the transport with belt conveyors,
locomotives, and multi-service vehicles is explained with numerical
examples. Cost management and basic parameters governing tunnelling
costs in different countries are discussed. Risk management in
mechanized tunnelling projects is also explained. Features: Offers
the practical issues with setting up a jobsite, the cost and
logistic issues related to tunnelling. Reviews cost management and
basic parameters governing tunnelling costs in different countries.
Covers treatment of spoil management plan and the management of
contaminated ground. Explores key points on the logistics and the
management of the consumables. Provides the latest international
case studies of specific companies. This book is aimed at
professionals and researchers in tunnelling, civil, and mining
engineering, and geology.
World coal production will increase up to 2040 and world energy
consumption will be very much dependent on coal. For a better
planning of coal mining operations, it is essential to know the
strength, cuttability and workability of coal, which are
interrelated. The main objective of the book is to combine the
research studies and compile the book oriented to the coal
industry, research students, practicing engineers, and coal mine
panning teams. Key Features Covers all the subjects related to coal
properties, mining and excavation in one book Presents a summary of
physical and mechanical properties of coal belonging to a wide
range of countries Includes typical examples of using physical and
mechanical of coal in mine planning and in its industrial
applications Explains use of cuttability characteristics of coal
Describes planning of coal production using ploughs, shearers and
surface miners
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.
