A probabilistic approach to the value chain of underground iron ore mining: From deposit to product
Ellefmo, Steinar Løve (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2005:65, Doctoral thesis, 2005)Mining activities will eventually deplete any deposit. In a sustainability perspective, the deposit should therefore be utilised optimally during production. A prerequisite to achieve this is the deliberate and consistent ... -
Analysis of Deformation and Stress Distribution around Stopes in Mining using a Combination of Geostatistics and Numerical Analysis
Refsli, Christian Dyhr (Master thesis, 2013)In the mining industry there are several methods to predict how the rock mass will behave. One of those methods is numerical analysis with modeling software, e.g. Finite Element Method (FEM). These numerical methods require ... -

Dagbruddsstabilitet i Norcem Kjøpsvik
Thoresen, Sverre Paulsen (Master thesis, 2019)Sammendrag Dagbruddsområdet til Norcem Kjøpsvik er i en situasjon hvor en optimalisering av dagbruddets vegg er av interesse. Denne oppgavens mål er å undersøke total- og detaljstabilitetsforholdene for endelig planlagt ... -
Design parameters for the Engebø open pit: With focus on slope stability
Ommedal, Arnstein (Master thesis, 2013)The objective of this thesis was to examine the geotechnical conditions at the Engebøfjell in Naustdal Municipality, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway with regard to a proposed open pit mine there. Another aim was to develop design ... -
Economic block model development for mining seafloor massive sulfides
Lesage, Maxime; Juliani, Cyril Jerome; Ellefmo, Steinar Løve (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)To support open-pit studies related to seafloor massive sulfides mining projects, an economic block-model is required. A modular framework is proposed to produce economic block models accommodating various levels of data. ... -
