The missing Link – GeoResources Journal
You have the first German issue of GeoResources journal in front of you. Perhaps you are wondering what this new magazine offers you - at a time when we are flooded with information? And what is this saying "the missing Link" in the headline about? We hope we have convincing answers to your legitimate questions.

Flood Protection: Recultivation of a retaining Dam on problematic Subsoil
A historic retaining dam on problematic subsoil was reactivated in south Germany for protection against flooding. The reactivation concept with soil consolidation and geogrid reinforcement as well as the construction procedure are explained. Settlements established through control measurements after completion are compared with those that were originally forecast.

Gotthard Base Tunnel Collating Risks, resorting to Safety Measures and accepting residual Risk
Financial resources for safety measures must be established with a defined residual risk. A possible approach for solving this task is described taking the example of the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the world’s longest rail tunnel.

Load-bearing Behaviour of Pipe Umbrellas in Tunnel Construction in granular Soils
Spiling support consisting of umbrellas made of long pipes or self-drilling hollow-stem injection anchors find increasing application in conventional tunnel drives. Their purpose is to support the excavation face temporarily until the shotcrete is load-bearing. Despite of the frequent application, there are no codes, regulations or recommendations for the design of such support measures. This paper gives a brief summary of some results of a doctoral thesis. Finite Element Method calculations were performed to investigate the load-bearing behaviour of pipe umbrellas and to quantify the state of stresses. The principles of the bearing behaviour are shown and a simple model is presented to predict the inner forces relevant for design.

Stress Measurements with the FBG Extensometer – new Principle for Rock or Tunnel dynamic Dimensioning of underground Cavities?
Measuring and dimensioning of underground cavities is undertaken almost exclusively by rock or tunnel mechanical methods. By applying an optical fibre BRAGG grating sensor for measuring expansion and compression states during drilling and blasting unexpectedly high stresses – caused by drill+blast – were registered, which led to supports being overloaded in underground mine workings and when driving tunnels with 2 bores. The dynamic effects are to be monitored better in future and the dimensioning of cavities adapted to rock or tunnel dynamic conditions.

Sinking two Freeze Shafts in the Ust Yayva Potash Deposits in Russia – Progress and Outlook
The principles, prerequisites and applications for the sinking of two freeze shafts for the Ust Yayva project in Russia are described and the work accomplished hitherto including the associated planning reviewed. The approaches selected to accomplish the task and the activities already undertaken are explained. Through parallel operations – for instance installing the hoisting equipment at the sinking phase – the project was speeded up significantly. Subsequently parts of the contract that have still to be tackled are examined.

Mining Region Ontario at a Glance – “Yours to discover”
With its numerous resources, large unmapped areas of land waiting to be explored, as well as a classic and stable mining sector, Canada has long been a point of attraction for international companies. In this context, Ontario is Canada’s model province and one of the five most important regions for raw material exploration worldwide.

RAG-Technikchronik - Buch 3: Technikentwicklung in der Vorleistung
27. September 2018 (12974 Clicks)
Das Buch 3 der Reihe „Dokumentation der technischen Entwicklung bei der RAG“ stellt die Evolution der Vorleistung in den vergangenen 50 Jahren dar. Da sie den Zugang zur Lagerstätte schafft, ist sie die Grundvoraussetzung zur Gewinnung des Rohstoffs Kohle und bildet die Grundlage für den langfristig sicheren und leistungsfähigen Betrieb eines Bergwerks.
