3D laser scanners are common tools for data collection and monitoring in mining. However, there is a knowledge gap concerning how to effectively deploy this technology in underground mines. The objective of this research is to explore the applications of mobile- and cart-based scanning systems MineFly and CartScan manufactured by the partner organization in underground […]

The proposed research aims to demonstrate the performance of effective, non-proprietary moment connections for wide-flange (W-) beams to rectangular hollow section (RHS) columns in limited-ductility (Type LD) moment resisting frames (MRFs) that are easy and cost-effective to fabricate, handle, and erect. Two W-beam-to-RHS column moment connection prototypes will be developed and tested, in duplicate, at […]
