Rock Engineering Design: Properties and Applications of Sound Level

Physico-mechanical rock properties are significant in all operational mining activities. This book evaluates rock properties by using empirical equations and soft computing techniques. It predicts various physico-mechanical properties such as uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), Schmidt rebound number (SRN), dry density, P-wave velocity (Vp), tensile strength (TS), Young's modulus (E), and percentage porosity (n) using multiple regression and artificial neural network (MLP and RBF) techniqu...
