Also, the study region falls in the seismic gap region, which has a potential for an earthquake of Mw>8.0. Hence, in this study, the seismic risk is assessed for the first time at the district level in the seismically critical region of India, the CIGP. In addition, the relative contribution of parametric and model uncertainties is also quantified from sensitivity analysis. Seismic risk results reveal that mud mortar bricks with temporary roofing (MMB) have the highest collapse probability of ~0.6. Further, brick walls with stone roof (BSR) and brick walls with metal sheet roof (BMS) also have high extensive and collapse damage compared to other building groups. These building types need immediate retrofitting / replacement for effective disaster mitigation. Also, geo-unit Allahabad, even though lying in zone II as per IS 1893:2016, has the most number of homeless and uninhabitable dwellings. Further, for a future earthquake of magnitude in the range of Mw 7.5 and 8.5, the expected financial loss might vary from 60 to 150 billion dollars, and the human loss might vary between 0.8 and 2.8 lakhs, respectively. Finally, results from this study will create awareness in the general public, policymakers, and structural engineers for taking up necessary mitigation measures on the existing buildings of CIGP for better preparedness from a future strong earthquake.","PeriodicalId":44351,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47575268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This fugitive dust consists of particulate matters (PM), which are more harmful to the human respiratory system. The prevention measures is only possible when the actual prediction of emission of those fugitive dust particles are possible. There is several model that predict the emission of the dust particles, but there is very less model to predict fugitive dust produced from a drilling operation in surface mines.

Understanding the ore variability and subsequently the response of the ore to processing are considered to be the most important functions of an accurate geometallurgical study. In this paper geometallurgical indices for grinding properties of a copper ore are investigated. Geometallurgical index (GI) is described as any geological feature which makes a footprint on the processing performance of the ores. A comprehensive study at Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper mine was undertaken. This included the process responses of the ore such as grade, recovery and plant throughput as possible geometallurgical indices. In this paper the effects of rock breakage variability on the plant throughput and energy consumption are presented. Ninety samples were collected based on geological features including lithology, hydrothermal alteration, and geological structures. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, electron and optical microscopy. A small scale simulated test method for Bond ball mill work index (BWI) was used to perform the comminution examinations. The results showed that BWI values vary from 5.67 kWh/t to 20.21 kWh/t. Examination of the possible correlations between BWI and the geological features showed that the key geological feature related to comminution variability is lithology. In addition, the hydrothermal alteration would be an effective parameter in the period that the plant is fed with a single lithology.","PeriodicalId":44351,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70077452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A parameter called total effective shaking was used to introduce an empirical equation for determining the near real-time magnitude of the Iranian plateau. This parameter was obtained through time integration of the absolute acceleration values from accelerograms over the strong shaking duration. It can be calculated by a simple mathematical procedure 5 seconds after completion of the waveform by decreasing the amplitudes to less than 20% of the maximum ground acceleration. The total effective shaking has a dimension of velocity and corresponds to moment magnitude and hypocentral distance in an attenuation relationship. The optimum coefficients were calculated through least-square regression analysis. Also, the effect of site conditions was evaluated in the analysis. The average shear-wave velocity to a depth of 30 m beneath each recording station was taken into account as the local site effect for 147 records out of the total number of records. The estimated moment magnitudes are in reasonably good agreement with the Global CMT values. Their differences are mostly less than 0.25 in the magnitude unit.","PeriodicalId":44351,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70077464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The final classified map provides only one scenario. This model is not certain enough since every model provides several thresholds which are almost different from each other meaning dissimilarity and spatial uncertainty of the classified maps. Spatial uncertainty of the models could be quantified considering the difference between the associated geochemical scenarios simulated (called: ‘realizations’) by geostatistical simulation (GS) methods. However, the main problem with GS methods is that these methods are significantly time-consuming, and CPU- and memory-demanding. To improve such problems, in this research, the method of “scaling and projecting sample-locations (SPS)” is developed. Based on the SPS theory, first of all, the whole sample-locations were projected (centralized) and scaled into a box coordinated between (0,0) to (150,0) and (0,0) to (0,100), for example (they can be equal though), with the cell-size of 1 m2. Therefore, the time consumed and the memory demanded to generate a large number of realizations, for example, 1000 realizations based on the non-scaled/non-projected (NS/NP) and scaled/projected (S/P) sample locations per case-study were quantified. In this study, the turning bands simulation (TBSIM) were applied to geochemical datasets of three different case studies to take the area scales, regularity/irregularity and density of the samples into account. The comparison between NS/NP and S/P results statistically demonstrated the same results, however, the process and outputs of the S/P samples took a significantly shorter time and consumed a remarkably lower computer-memory. Therefore, experts are able to easily run this algorithm using any normal computer.","PeriodicalId":44351,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70077016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy of the results was checked out using field observations, Google Earth images and the error matrix. The results of the visual validation with the Google Earth images showed that the used method can detect landslids with relatively high accuracy.The images of landsat5 and 8 Because of their multispectral advantages can be used as a suitable data source for research on Instabilities. Finally, the validating results obtained by using the error matrix showed the total accuracy of 92.1% and kappa coefficient was 0.99. So based on the results obtained from the above method, the landslides were distributed mainly in slopes between 15 and 40 degrees and the height distribution of instabilities of 1420 to 2000 meters. Also based on vegetation indices, density of landslides have been increased after the earthquake.
