Geologic design

Computer techniques are used for mine planning and design and for the optimum deployment of mining equipment. The effects of geology, haulage distances, minimum acceptable ore grade (cutoff grade), and by-product revenue are considered. 

Rl accomplishes this task correctiy in a fraction of the time it would take for human technicians. The savings in this case are in terms of the number of orders processed, which ultimately translates to doUars. As a final example, consider Prospector, another classic expert system built in the 1970s (4). This computer program, designed to detect commercially viable ore deposits based on geological data, correctiy identified a molybdenum ore deposit worth about 100 million. 

All submittals to the NRC concerning geology and seismic design 3asis for both structures and equipment. 

The dominating reason behind the problems is clogging of the wells mainly caused by iron precipitation. For this reason the research on ATES is focused on how to collect geological, hydrogeological and hydrochemical data in a proper way in order to design functional systems and wells. 

The final outcome will be a geological model that is more or less accurate and that can be used for the final design using simulation models. 

The layout of building foundation piles always depends on the building structure, geological condition and the type of foundation piles. It is not in regular lattice pattern in most cases. Many existing designing soft wares utilize so-called G-function and they cannot support the irregular layout. The author s... 

The site-specific requirements for landfill remediation should be developed before beginning design or selection of cover type. Site-specific requirements depend on numerous site-specific factors, including landfill history waste type, quantity, and age climate geologic setting local surface water and groundwater use and regulatory requirements. 

The distribution of radon levels in houses located in these 20 areas will be measured either through EPA/State cooperative surveys or as a part of EPA s national survey. If correlations can be shown to exist between geological characteristics and indoor radon levels, then this information can be used to design surveys to more efficiently identify homes with high indoor radon levels.
