• Assessment on the hydrogeological condition of an open pit mine based on piezometric measurements 

      Morales, Mario Orlando Cardenas; Panthi, Krishna Kanta; Rostad, Ragnhild; Holmøy, Kristin Hilde; Botsialas, Konstantinos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Understanding groundwater and flow pattern behavior in a given mine site is generally based on accepted theory related to flow through porous granular media. The existence of discontinuities within the rock mass alters the ...
    • Development of a 3D structural model of a mine by consolidating different data sources 

      Morales, Mario Orlando Cardenas; Panthi, Krishna Kanta; Botsialas, Konstantinos; Holmøy, Kristin Hilde (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Joints and faults are inherent parts of the rock mass. In the vast majority of mining slopes, discontinuity structures play an important role in slope stability and may trigger a slope failure. The most important step in ...
    • Slope stability assessment of an open pit mine using three-dimensional rock mass modeling 

      Morales, Mario Orlando Cardenas; Panthi, Krishna Kanta; Botsialas, Konstantinos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Rock mass classification systems are commonly used to evaluate the likelihood of instability in mining environments. Most frequently used classification systems are the rock mass rating (RMR), geological strength index ...
