Conducting technical and economic evaluations is important for mining investment and mining operation decision-making. Traditional economic evaluation methods rarely address the issue of evaluation reliability and usually require complex calculations...
This work presents a new developed assessment methodology based on strength reduction and finite element methods which is suitable for existing large reinforced concrete structures commonly used in hydraulic constructions. The methodology is based on...
Moment-independent importance (MII) analysis is known as a global sensitivity measurement in qualifying the influence of uncertainties, which is taken as a crucial step towards seismic performance analysis. Most MII analysis is based on Monte Carlo s...
Some valuable minerals, such as lignite, are extracted through open-pit mining works. After the cessation of mining activity, large-scale gaps result in the landscape. These gaps, also called “remaining gaps”, represent some of the roughest types of...
