SUMMARY:Rock Mass Characterization for Mine Design
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this course is to provide mine staff the tools required to effectively gather geotechnical data for rock mass classification and rock mechanics design calculations. The majority of rock falls in mine operations are structurally controlled. Design is largely controlled by existing structure. It is critical that site characterization be performed so as to identify the structural factors that would affect rock slope angles\, drill and blast design\, support requirements\, resultant dilution and span design\, etc. A good understanding of rock mass structure forms the basis of rock mass classification which is used in the majority of rock mechanics design methods. \nUpon completion of the course the participants will be able to gather geotechnical data\, either from rock cuts\, drifts or core\, and process the information for subsequent analysis. The focus of the course is towards gathering information for purposes of analysis and design. The goal is to use effective mapping techniques to obtain data that can be used as input for any of the established rock classification systems. All of the commonly used classification values such as Barton’s Q and Q’ systems\, Bieniawski’s RMR\, Laubscher’s MRMR and Hoek’s GSI systems will be covered. \nThis course will include a half-day underground mapping and rock classification tour at Britannia Mine\, and a half-day surface mapping and rock classification field trip on the outskirts of Vancouver. \nPeople interested in this course may also want to register for Empirical Design Methods For Underground Mines\, scheduled to run in the same week.

SUMMARY:The Aluminum Wire & Cable 2017
DESCRIPTION:This is the premier forum for the aluminum and wire and cable industries. \nThe Aluminum Wire & Cable 2017 exhibition & conference where aluminum suppliers\, wire and cable manufacturers\, and a multitude of end users will meet in Detroit to explore aluminum-based wire and cable solutions for use in a range of electrical applications. A global substitution away from copper to lower price aluminum is under way for the electrical equipment industry. Aluminum is set to replace 30 to 40% of copper used in wires and cables for industries such as automobiles and commercial appliances. As the makers of electrical components switch from copper to aluminum to help offset against rising costs\, new challenges arise in equipment redesign and retooling existing manufacturing processes. \nThis conference will have a unique and timely emphasis on overcoming the challenges faced by manufacturers and the routes to making a successful transition. \nThis year’s Aluminum Wire & Cable 2017 conference is set to become the world’s leading exhibition and conference exclusively for aluminum suppliers and wire and cable manufacturers\, to meet and collaborate with a large array of end users\, and to examine low-cost aluminum alternatives and address the specific challenges associated with replacing copper for aluminum-based wire and cable solutions for use in electrical applications. For more: https://www.usa.aluminum-wire-cable.com//?join=EL \nKey topics on this year’s agenda include:\n• Aluminum vs. copper market supply and demand forecasts\n• Exploring the commercial feasibility of switching to aluminum wire and cables\n• Engineering and development activities for copper replacement initiatives\n• New manufacturing processes and techniques to ensure reliable performance\n• Upcoming regulations and industry standards for aluminum use in electrical applications\n• End user manufacturer case studies and making a successful transition
