    Mine Seismology: Data Analysis and Interpretation : Palabora Mine Caving Process as Revealed by Induced Seismicity (2016)
    Cham : Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Call number: 5/M 17.90712

Ranges of Parameters -- 5. Interpretation Methods of Mine Induced Seismicity -- 6. Palabora Seismic History -- 7. Palabora Caving Process as Evidenced by Induced Seismicity -- 8.

Palabora Lift 2 Mine Seismic System -- 12. Seismic Hazard Monitoring for Lift 2 -- Appendices -- Index
    Description / Table of Contents: This book offers an in-depth analysis and interpretation methods applicable to mine-induced seismicity. It is based on over 40 years of experience in mine and exploration geophysics. Another unique feature of this book is the complete history of the caving process as evidenced by the recorded seismicity at the South African copper mine Palabora Lift 1. Until now, the literature has only presented theory and case studies discussing the interpretation of results, and there has been no discussion of the input-data quality or why a certain interpretation technique was applied. This book fills that gap. This book is a fascinating read, written by one of the world’s leading mine seismologists. It summarises the history and progression of mine seismology. It outlines the practical use of back analysis of data and how it can be used on a daily basis. The book explains how mine seismology can be used as an effective monitoring tool for key events as the mine progresses as well as for future caving operations. Anthony Allman MAusIMM, CP(Min), RPEQ Antcia Consulting Pty Ltd, Director, Mining Engineer The content of the book is really solid and robust and I have no doubt it is going to be considered a great contribution for the mining community. Raul Fuentes, Former Director of Master Program in Geomechanics Applied to Mining, Universidad de los Andes, Santiago, Chile This book is long overdue and helps to present some difficult concepts in a way that they can be clearly understood by non-experts in this area. Stefan has personally managed to take mine seismology from being a black-art into a useful tool to help make mines a safer and more controlled environment. Neil Hepworth C. Eng, MIMMM, Geomin Consultorio - Brazil, Consultant Mining and Geotechnics Seismic monitoring is an important tool in cave management. The information from monitoring allows a number of key production factors to be determined including cave advance rates, the approximate location of the cave back, insight into the size of the air gap and allows the tracking of broad changes in stress. These all assist in the day to day management of a safe and successful cave. Dr. Glazer’s book provides guidance on the application of microseismicity to cave management through a review of appropriate theory and more importantly illustrates its use through case histories, particularly from the Palabora block cave. The text will be a good addition for all practitioners in cave engineering and operations. All ...

    Estimating Fatality Rates for Earthquake Loss Models (2016)
    Cham : Springer International Publishing
    Details
    Call number: M 16.89585
    Description / Table of Contents: This manuscript sets out a process for estimating fatalities in collapsed buildings due to ground shaking in an earthquake. The aim of this research is to supplement current earthquake loss estimation with fatality rates (percentage of occupants killed) for use in models which are based on recent empirical information on deaths from earthquakes. This document specifically explores the lethality potential to occupants of collapsed structures. Whilst earthquake casualty modeling has admittedly suffered from a lack of post-earthquake collection of data and rigour in assessing these data, recent earthquakes such as 2008 Wenchuan (China) and 2011 Christchurch (New Zealand) have brought to light some important findings. Under the auspices of US Geological Survey’s PAGER, empirical fatality data related to collapses of buildings from significant earthquakes in the past 40 years have been thoroughly examined. Through detailed investigations of fatal building collapses and the volume reductions within these buildings, important clues related to the lethality potential of different failure mechanisms of global modern and older construction types were found. The gathered evidence forms the basis of the derivation of a set of fatality rates for use in loss models. The set of judgment-based rates are for 31 global building types. This significant advancement in casualty modeling, the resolutions and quality of available data, the important assumptions made, and the final derivation of fatality rates are discussed here. This document contributes to global efforts to develop a way of estimating probable earthquake fatalities very rapidly after an earthquake has taken place. The fatality rates proposed here can be incorporated directly into earthquake loss estimation models where fatalities are derived from collapses of different types of buildings

    Kohlendioxid in Wasser mit Alkalinität : Berechnung und grafische Darstellung der chemischen Gleichgewichte (2015)
    Berlin, Heidelberg ;s.l. : Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Call number: 10/M 15.89254
    Description / Table of Contents: Kohlendioxid ist eine bedeutende Verbindung in unserer Atmosphäre. Mit Wasser ergibt sie Kohlensäure und ist daher in allen Wässern zugegen. In welchem Ausmaß und in welcher Form Kohlendioxid im Wasser vorliegt, kann mit einfachen mathematischen Gleichungen berechnet werden. Wie diese Gleichungen hergeleitet und was damit ausgesagt werden kann, wird in diesem Buch an Hand von 3D-Grafiken ausführlich gezeigt und diskutiert. Die angegebenen Gleichungen können zur Berechnung von wasserchemischen Parametern herangezogen werden. Das Buch richtet sich an Hydrochemiker, Hydrogeologen, Hydrologen, Umweltwissenschaftler, Analytiker und Chemiker, die sich mit Wasserchemie beschäftigen und an fortgeschrittene Studierende, die die theoretischen Grundlagen des Kohlendioxidgleichgewichts vertiefen wollen sowie an alle, die sich für die mathematische Behandlung von chemischen Gleichgewichten interessieren. Der Autor Hofrat Mag. Dr. Gerhard Hobiger diplomierte in Analytischer Chemie und promovierte  über die chemische Bindung im TiO-Festkörper an der Universität Wien. Anschließend war er im Zentrallabor des Umweltbundesamtes tätig und ist jetzt der Leiter der Fachabteilung Geochemie an der Geologischen Bundesanstalt in Wien
