IFSCRI
Structural/Engineering Geology Experimental Design Workshop
CEMI held an Experimental Design Workshop in Structural/Engineering Geology for the proposed International Fault Slip Control Research Initiative (IFSCRI). This workshop was one of five field-specific workshops which are to be held over the next 6-8 months, each one with the purpose of brainstorming exciting and relevant research and technology projects needed to better understand the fault slip problem in underground mines within the context of a ~$20-50 million, multi-year research program.
Seminars (January 20, 2010)
- Brief History of Fault Related Ground Control Issues at Xstrata's Craig Mine (B.Simser)
- Paleostresses and fault slip tendency (R.Lisle)
- Paleostress in the Sudbury mining camp (U.Riller)
- Structural Characteristics of Fault-Slip Events in Mining (R.Bewick)
- Scale invariance (G.vAswegen)
