June 17, 2023 Dhanbad: Prof Radhakanta Koner of Rock Slope Engineering Lab, Department of Mining Engineering, IIT(ISM) Dhanbad delivered a keynote lecture on "Slope Stability, Induced Ground Vibration and Remedial Measures" today at the workshop organised by ISMAA KOLKATA CHAPTER on "Earthquakes and other Ground Movements Disaster Assessment Mitigation and Management."
The workshop was held in the Newtown Kolkata from 16 June to 17 June, 2023.In the august assembly of luminaries this workshop made an impact in the scientific community of India.
Prof Koner highlights in the lecture the data collected across the globe on 177 open pit mine slope experience earthquakes.The data on the earthquakes impacts on the mine slope are quite interesting and need more deliberation on the same.The details studies on the influence of geometry, external conditions, rock-soil properties, constitutive criteria were discussed in the lecture in the context of slope experiencing dynamic load.
Prof Koner stressed on Standard OPERATING Practice in the lecture and very much optimistic that this study will made positive impacts in the mining engineering community on the practice on hazards mitigations in mine dumps.
