Popis: 22 154 149 M50 М51 Sistemi za odvodnjavanje u velikim površinskim kopovima su projektovani da ostvare tri osnovna cilja: održavanje radnih uslova suvim, stabilnim i bezbednim; smanjenje hidrostatskog pritiska i povećanje efektivnog naprezanja tla radi poboljšanja stabilnosti kosina; i obezbeđivanje radne površine. Ovo se može postići pomoću drenažnih objekata koji uključuju kanale, jame za sakupljanje vode i pumpne stanice. U radu se prikazuje razvoj kompjuterski potpomognutog sistema pod nazivom Devatering of Open Pit Mines (DEVOP), koji može pomoći projektantima površinskih kopova da reše probleme vezane za odvodnjavanje. Sistem je razvijen u objektnom programskom jeziku Visual Basic, koristeći prednosti višekorisničke baze podataka, kao što je Microsoft Access, za skladištenje i obradu podataka. U testovima na površinskim kopovima uglja i bakra, smanjio je troškove drenažnih objekata za 8%. Drainage systems in large surface mines are designed to accomplish three basic objectives: keeping working conditions dry, stable and safe; lowering hydrostatic pressure and increasing the effective stress of soil to improve slope stability; and ensuring pit floor workability. This can be achieved with drainage facilities that include channels, water collection sumps, and pump stations. We report the development of a computer-aided system called Dewatering of Open Pit Mines (DEWOP), which can assist open pit mine designers to solve water-related problems. The system was developed in a Visual Basic object programming language, taking advantage of multi-user, open database connectivity, such as Microsoft Access, for storage and processing of information. In tests at coal and copper surface mines, it reduced drainage facilities costs by 8%.
