Обычно книги по геомеханике содержат большое количество математических выражений, формул, уравнений. Это необходимо для того, чтобы проникнуть в суть природных явлений, с которыми сталкиваются шахтеры. Но зачастую формул оказывается так много, что из-за них от горняков ускользает смысл процессов. Поэтому появился большой разрыв между современными достижениями геомеханики и уровнем понимания природы горного давления инженерами, которые руководят горными работами. Данное пособие основано на практическом опыте работы рудников, в первую очередь корпорации «Казахмыс». Оно предназначено для того, чтобы сократить разрыв между теорией и практикой, поэтому в нем почти нет формул. Суть геомеханических процессов и явлений при подземной добыче руды объясняется доступными словами, простыми схемами, наглядными иллюстрациями, типичными примерами из практики. Автор надеется, что из понимания природы геомеханических явлений и процессов появится умение управлять горным давлением. Пособие предназначено для горных инженеров подземных рудников, будет полезно студентам горных вузов.

• Use constraints and layouts, print and export, model in 3D, and much more.

If you're a design professional, AutoCAD is need-to-know software. You have to be comfortable with it to be productive. AutoCAD 2016 Essentials gets you up and running quickly, with patient instruction and plenty of hands-on practice.

Master the complexities of the world's bestselling 2D and 3D software with Introduction to AutoCAD 2016. Ideally suited to new users of AutoCAD, this book will be a useful resource for drawing modules in both vocational and introductory undergraduate courses in engineering and construction. A comprehensive, step-by-step introduction to the latest release of AutoCAD. Covering all the basic principles and acting as an introduction to 2D drawing, it also contains extensive coverage of all 3D topics, including 3D solid modelling and rendering. Written by a member of the Autodesk Developer Network. Hundreds of colour pictures, screenshots and diagrams illustrate every stage of the design process. Worked examples and exercises provide plenty of practice material to build proficiency with the software. Further education students in the UK will find this an invaluable textbook for City & Guilds AutoCAD qualifications as well as the relevant Computer Aided Drawing units of BTEC National Engineering, Higher National Engineering and Construction courses from Edexcel. Students enrolled in Foundation Degree courses containing CAD modules will also find this a very useful reference and learning aid.

ArcGIS, the GIS software from industry leader ESRI, allows for the analysis and presentation of geospatial data.

Mineral resource estimation has changed considerably in the past 25 years: geostatistical techniques have become commonplace and continue to evolve; computational horsepower has revolutionized all facets of numerical modeling; mining and processing operations are often larger; and uncertainty quantification is becoming standard practice. Recent books focus on historical methods or details of geostatistical theory. So there is a growing need to collect and synthesize the practice of modern mineral resource estimation into a book for undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and young geologists and engineers. It is especially fruitful that this book is written by authors with years of relevant experience performing mineral resource estimation and with years of relevant teaching experience. This comprehensive textbook and reference fills this need.

Policy makers, mineral exploration experts, and regional planners decide how public lands, which may contain undiscovered resources, should be used or whether to invest in exploration for minerals on a regular basis. Decisions are also made concerning mineral resource adequacy, national policy, and regional development. This book makes explicit the factors that can affect a mineral-related decision so that decision-makers can clearly see the possible consequences of their decisions.

Geostatistical mapping can be defined as analytical production of maps by using field observations, auxiliary information and a computer program that generates predictions. The purpose of this guide is to assist you in producing quality maps by using fully-operational open source software packages: R+gstat/geoR and SAGA GIS. Materials presented in this book have been used for the five-day advanced training course "GEOSTAT: spatio-temporal data analysis with R+SAGA+Google Earth" that is periodically organized by the author and collaborators.
