Item A new methodology for rockfall hazard assessment in rocky slopes.(2022) Silveira, Larissa Regina Costa; Lana, Milene Sabino; Alameda Hernández, Pedro Manuel; Santos, Tatiana Barreto dosThis article presents an approach to rockfall hazard assessment for rocky slopes based on a previously published rockfall hazard methodology. The original method is appropriate to high alpine rocky slopes exposed to large scale deformations. It evaluates the parameters related to the geomechanical characterization of rock mass, indications of activity, external influences and event intensity. The original methodology was modified to consider different contexts, including geological, climatic and social environments. Parameters related to external influences were modified; the geometry and characteristics of the slope and the catchment area were introduced. The original methodology and the new proposal were applied to two urban slopes and one railway slope in order to test and compare the methods. The original proposal could not represent the rockfall conditions of these slopes. The new proposal was validated using two mine slopes, whose conditions of stability are known. The results of the analyses with the urban slope and the railway slope were coherent with the situation observed at the field. The validation in the mine slopes showed that this approach is applicable in several situations, being able to determine how hazardous a slope is in relation to rockfall events.Item Probability density function of rock mass discontinuity distances.(2020) Bruzzi, Antonio Fernando Gorgulho; Alameda Hernández, Pedro Manuel; Klen, André Monteiro; Pereira, Tiago Martins; Lana, Milene SabinoRock masses are presenting an enduring challenge since the first authors began trying to model these natural structures. This modelling needs a parametrisation and a latter value assignment for those parameter value series, which show high variability, and a lack of clear patterns, in nature. Understanding the statistical nature of these values is an essential goal of rock mechanics, searching for the most appropriate probability density function (pdf) for fitting each one of those parameter values. The identification of those pdf is an aid for a better understanding of the rock mass nature and a need for correct discrete fracture network generation, or any probabilistic calculation. The parameter studied in this work is the degree of fracturing, in particular: the distances between fractures in a borehole rock core, which determines the Rock Quality Designation (RQD) value. The most accepted hypothesis is that these values fit a negative exponential pdf, however, with some criticism. Through the analysis of 1985 m of borehole rock core from five lithologies from two rock masses, this work shows the lognormality of the data series. The negative exponential does not fit correctly; however, the old approach for RQD based on this hypothesis offers satisfying results. Furthermore, it has been observed that schist presents the unclearer random pattern.Item A gestão participativa dos recursos hídricos no setor mineral brasileiro.(2017) Miranda, José Fernando; Figueiredo, Janine Rodrigues; Curi, Adilson; Alameda Hernández, Pedro ManuelA água é um recurso mineral de valor inestimável para a economia de qualquer País. A mineração é uma atividade que tem forte dependência da água em seus processos e métodos. Visando a valorização e o controle sustentável de uso da água no território brasileiro foi estabelecida em 1997 a Lei Federal número 9.433 sobre a "Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos". Esta lei estabelece mecanismos de gestão descentralizada e participativa visando a manutenção da quantidade e qualidade da água num contexto geral. Por este dispositivo legal foram criadas algumas ferramentas de gestão de recursos hídricos, de âmbito nacional, tais como: - o Sistema Nacional de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos; o Enquadramento dos Corpos de Água; a Outorga Pelo Direito de Uso; a Cobrança Pelo Uso e o Sistema de Informações Sobre Recursos Hídricos. Este artigo apresenta os principais pontos da gestão de recursos hídricos relacionados ao setor mineral brasileiro e apresenta um exemplo de aplicação real desta regulamentação num empreendimento mineral nacional.
