Design of a safe slope or checking the safety of an existing one is an important and complicated problem in rock engineering. The main source of complication is the existence of uncertainties, which can be analyzed and quantified in a rational way only through probabilistic methods. This book explains the principles of reliability-based analyses and design of rock slopes that can easily be used by the practicing engineers. The first-order second-moment (FORM) method and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) procedure are adopted as the reliability assessment models and they are implemented for the...

Comprehensive in scope, this volume provides an introduction to monitoring the environmental impacts of mining activities, such as mine subsidence monitoring, slope stability monitoring, reclamation planning and implementation, and post closure mine monitoring.

A guide for students and professionals, this introductory course book covers the basic principles of remote sensing and its applications in mine environment monitoring. Building from a reader's basic knowledge of mine monitoring, it teaches how to implement remote sensing techniques and how to interpret the acquired data for different purposes. Following a general introduction to remote sensing principles and image analysis, mine subsidence monitoring, slope stability monitoring, reclamation planning and implementation, and post-closure mine and land use analysis are explained and...
