Application of Pressuremeter Test (PMT) in Victorian Brown Coal Open-Pit Mining ZHAN TANG 10.26180/5b91b0a09036c https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Application_of_Pressuremeter_Test_PMT_in_Victorian_Brown_Coal_Open-Pit_Mining/7056554 The Pressuremeter Test (PMT) is a versatile in-situ geotechnical field investigation method, but its application in open-pit mining may be challenged by two issues: the in-situ horizontal stress anisotropy and the tensile strength of the rock mass. This thesis develops two laboratory tests to understand the impacts of the issues and performs in-situ PMT in Victorian brown coal open-pit mine. 2018-09-06 22:56:30 Pressuremeter Brown coal Lignite Tensile strength Geomechanics and Resources Geotechnical Engineering Civil Geotechnical Engineering Numerical Modelling and Mechanical Characterisation
