A 80000 m2, 3.5 m high embankment for a container yard was constructed on the right margin of the Paraná de las Palmas River in Zárate, Argentina. An aditional temporary embankment, 3.5 m high, was put on top of it to speed up the consolidation process of underlaying soft Postpampeano clays and Read more... about Slope failure at the Paraná shoreline, Argentina

A port facility project named Terminal Zárate is under construction 90 Km North of Buenos Aires, Argentina. As part of the construction process, a 3.5 m thick hydraulic fill and a 3.0 m thick compacted soil embankment were placed on top of a soft soil deposit. A tight construction schedule Read more... about Ground improvement in Zarate

Cerro Vanguardia es una mina de Au-Ag ubicada  en las planicies centrales de Santa Cruz, Argentina. El depósito consiste en varias vetas  de 3,5-10 m de ancho y 19 km de largo, relacionadas con la mineralización epitermal  de la formación Chon-Aike por episodios de vulcanismo del Jurásico. La Read more... about Minería a Rajo Abierto de Cerro Vanguardia: Manejo de Base de Datos para Análisis de Estabilidad

Este documento describe dos modelos numéricos  que se hicieron para estudiar la interacción dinámica entre un chancador, una pared de tierra estabilizada mecánicamente y un acopio para el chancador primario  en un importante proyecto minero en Perú.  Los modelos fueron implementados  en el Read more... about Interacción entre un chancador, una pared MSE y un acopio de una mina en Perú

This paper describes two numerical models that were performed to study the dynamic interaction between a crusher, a mechanically stabilized earth wall and a stockpile for the primary crusher at important mining project in Peru. The models were implemented in the finite element program Plaxis 2D Read more... about Interaction Between A Crusher, A MSE Wall And Stockpile At Mine In Peru

In this presentation delivered at the AIG Lithium Graphite Seminar and SRK's Lithium Brine Tech Talk event in Perth, Australia, Camilo de los Hoyos discusses the challenges in brine exploration including the geological and hydrogeological Read more... about An Overview of Lithium Brine Exploration for Resource Estimation

Arenal Deeps is an Au mine located near Minas de Corrales, 400km north of Montevideo, Uru- guay. The Arenal deposit is a subvertical fault zone, 6m – 30m wide, which was exploited via an open pit op- eration from 2004 until 2009 and underground since then. Underground mining is developed using Read more... about Arenal Deeps: application of numerical methods to two- and three- dimensional stability analyses of underground excavations

Cerro Vanguardia is an Au-Ag mine located in the central plains of Santa Cruz, Argentina. The deposit consists of several veins 3.5-10m wide and 19km long, related to epithermal mineralization of the Chon-Aike formation by Jurassic volcanism episodes. The exploitation is carried out by means of Read more... about Cerro Vanguardia Open Pit Mining: Database Management for Stability Analyses

The City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is expanding it’s metro network. Some 13 km of new tunnels have been excavated since 1998 and some 20 km are scheduled for construction in the near future. Many major improvements have been implemmented during these years in the fields of design and construc Read more... about Metro tunnels in Buenos Aires: Design and construction procedures 1998 - 2007
