South Africa’s vast inequality between the haves and the have nots have caused spatial fragmentation of the urban landscape. The haves are currently dominating the urban landscape with new developments of exclusive social ...
Design principles for optimizing an established survey slope monitoring system.

Mphathiwa, N.; Cawood, F.T. (The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy., 2014)

When slope angles are designed during open pit optimization, there is a risk factor applied in steepening the slopes. The steepening of slope angles has implications for the safety and economics of the mining operation. ...

Determination of stable spans in UG2 excavations.

Watson, B.P.; Gerber, R. (The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy., 2018-05)

The hangingwall of the UG2 Reef is characterized by stratification in the form of thin and weakly cohesive chromitite stringers that can vary in number and height above a stope. These stringers, in conjunction with ...
Development of a computer-aided application using Lane's algorithm to optimize cut-off grade.

Githiria, J.; Musingwini, C.; Muriuki, J. (The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy., 2016-11)

The maximization of net present value (NPV) is a primary objective in open pit mine planning processes. In an attempt to meet this objective, cut-off grades are considered in all the stages of mining. There are three stages ...
