• A New Perimeter Control Blast Design Concept for Underground Metal/nonmetal Drifting Applications
  3/1/2013 - Reports of Investigations
  This report presents a new concept in perimeter control blasting for underground mine drifting applications focusing on the importance of the buffer holes in a blast design.
• Numerical Modeling of the U1A Complex at the Nevada Test Site: Model Development and Comparison of Different Drift Mining Options
  8/1/2003 - Conference papers
  A three-step method is presented to determine nonlinear stress-strain curves for boundary-element programs used in many mining applications. The method requires a suite of laboratory-scale strength tests at various confining pressures.
