Kuubeterzie, Francis (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

The aim of this research is to investigate the power output performance of the Navrongo VRA Solar Plant for improved efficiency. Primary data about the performance of the plant was obtained using the master wiring picture: ...
Blast-induced ground vibration and air overpressure prediction using artificial intelligence techniques

Arthur, Clement Kweku (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

Blast-induced ground vibration and air overpressure are considered as the most important environmental hazards of mining and can damage structures such as buildings, dams and pit slopes. Review of previous studies has ...
Design of optimal slope parameters for the proposed Kobeda Pit at Gold Fields Ghana Limited, Tarkwa Mine

Balegha, Mohammed Mwene Soma (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

Tarkwa Gold Mine (TGM) is depleting its reserves to the east of the mine. It has, as a result embarked on vigorous near mine exploratory work to the west of the concession for reserve generation. Results indicate gold ...
Spatial multi-criteria decision analysis of planning schemes of a slum community in Ghana

Cudjoe, Christopher Kojo (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

Integration of urban planning and Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the major research focus among geospatial professionals. This is because the rapid increasing rate of urbanisation has created extreme pressure ...
Improving the geotechnical properties of spent ore with laterite for road pavement construction

Ofosu, Bernard (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

Heap leaching generate large volume of spent ore and due to its potential toxic nature, it is contained and not exposed to the environment. The spent ore can be reused as a construction material especially for road ...
Correlation between geo-mechanical and petro-physical properties of the Sekondian Group

Dasmani, Abdulai (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

Instability issues have been a challenge in the Sekondian Group in Sekondi-Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana, with regards to civil works and underground excarvations over the years. Uniaxial compressive strength, ...
Petrography and geochemistry of metavolcanic rock and related Intrusives and their alterations West of Butre, Ghana

Graham, Victor (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

The metavolcanic rock and their related intrusives at Butre area in the Birimian Supergroup, southwest Ghana were studied to ascertain the mineralogical compositions, textures and metamorphism. The study showsthat the host ...
