    • Influence of backfill soil shear strength parameters on retaining walls stability 
      Lemus, Luis; Moraga, Nelson; Lemus Mondaca, Roberto (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Escuela de Construccion Civil, 2017)
      One of the problem of geotechnical engineering is the analysis of the retaining walls stability, where are several uncertainty sources. Some of these uncertainties relate to the inherent variability of fill soil, retained ...
    • Open pit mine planning considering geomechanical fundamentals 
      Parra, Andrés; Morales, Nelson; Vallejos, Javier A.; Nguyen, Phu Minh Vuong (Taylor & Francis LTD, 2018)
      The objective of this study is to integrate the admissible factor of safety (FoS) into the mine planning. The analysis showed, as expected, that a lower net present value (NPV) is obtained with the increase in the admissible ...
