Additional Details:
The following is the list of Major Projects that I have worked at various companies and at the University of Utah.

University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT

1. Worked on the development of finite element program and verification. The program was designed to conduct open pit and underground mine design and stress analyses. Elastic, elastic-plastic, isotropic and anisotropic, time and thermal analyses were done by using the program.

2. M.S thesis research work involved in modeling of longwall mining panel layouts. Single entry longwall development panels and associated stress analyses near the coal face, head and tail gates were predicted. Stress and displacement contours were developed and failure zones in roof and floor were identified.

3. Conducted finite element analyses for an open pit copper and underground cut and fill mining methods.

4. Radioactive waste disposal canister for placement in a salt mine was modeled using the finite element program. The project involved in predicting total stresses from static loads and thermal stresses from the radioactive waste. Stresses, displacement, and failure zones were predicted in the metal canister and in roof, floor and pillar of the salt mine.

Allied Chemical Corporation, Green River, WY

5. Worked on expansion of mine opening roof spans to increase the continuous miner productivity. Miner auger head length was 11 ft. and was able to mine 22 ft. wide entry in two passes without wasting effort in the second pass. This was accomplished by widening the mine openings up to 28 ft. in an experimental area and monitoring the loads and opening closures over a period of one year.

6. Developed ground control program for monitoring roof and floor stability. Over 1500 closure stations were installed and monitored. Analyses of total mine opening closures and their rates resulted in identification of unstable roof locations and prediction of roof falls (in two occasions) 24 hours before they actually occurred.

7. Developed optimum mine panel layouts and pillar extraction methods. Conventional (drill, blast, load and bolt), continuous miners and longwall mining methods were used at the Allied's trona mine.

8. Mechanical and resin roof bolts were evaluated for their effectiveness both in load capacity and cost. This project involved in instrumentation and monitoring of displacements, load on the roof bolts and bolts pull tests.
9. Worked with USBM personnel in measurements of in-situ stresses and rock properties by using bore hole deformation gauge and over coring technique.

10. Worked with various contractors and consultants on a 20 ft. diameter production shaft construction project. The shaft was equipped with a Kope hoist system with two 16 ton skips. I have conducted ore bin stability analysis by using finite element methods. Field instruments were installed and monitored near the ore bin.

11. Longwall panel design project involved installation and monitoring of closure station, bore hole pressure cells and hydraulic flat jacks in wooden cribs and posts to predict the abutment pressures ahead of the longwall face, at tail and head gates, and in near by main entries. This data was very useful and were used in design of the barrier pillars, longwall panel dimensions and also, while mining under the surface structures.

12. Proposed and installed mine subsidence survey monuments and evaluated survey data. Subsidence and surface strain data was used in mine design to protect surface plant structures and while mining under the rail roads and highways.

13. Conducted economic evaluations of various mining methods and their costs to optimize the profits.

14. Conducted time and motion studies of various mining operations and used the data to optimize the longwall equipment moves and developed work schedules and critical paths.

15. Prepared mining methods hand book for mine foreman's use and personnel training.

16. Geotechnical advisor on an exploration project with 35 drill and core holes and obtained about 15,000 ft. of core. Selected core samples and obtained rock properties. This information was used in modeling for mine design and to obtain mine permits.

ARCO's Coal and Anaconda Divisions

17. Mt.Gunnison coal mine's two million ton underground coal mine plan, mine life mining schedules and mining methods were developed. Mine equipment selection and capital and operating costs were projected to prepare mine economic feasibility studies. Mine plan and other data were used to obtain federal, state and county mining and reclamation permits.

Geotechnical engineer and advised on geotechnical problems during construction. Worked with contractors and consultants on the landslide problems and mine portal facilities. Installed and monitored slope inclinometer to measure the landslide movements and field data was used to design the retaining walls for stability.

Installed multiple closure points, hydraulic flat jacks, and I-RAD stress gauges in the new underground coal mine for collecting preliminary rock mechanics data.

18. Project engineer for an Illinois coal mine shaft pilot hole and geotechnical project. Worked with shaft consultants and test labs to obtain data for shaft design and underground layouts. Performed detailed room and pillar size analyses, mine design optimization and subsidence predictions. This information was used in obtaining federal and state mining permits.
19. Conducted numerous mining and economic feasibility studies of existing coal, lead, zinc, trona and uranium mines and companies for potential acquisition by ARCO. These mines were located in UT, CO, MO, OH, W.Va, KY, MI, PA, and WY. Summary reports were prepared and presentations were made to the divisional management.
20. Prepared detailed mine plans and technical and economic feasibility studies for various cases of Colony oil shale mine project. Made presentations to ARCO and TOSCO (partner) managements. Set up mine instrumentation and surface subsidence monitoring programs.
21. Project engineer for an oil shale drilling and geotechnical project. Supervised drilling company, geologic consultants and testing laboratory personnel. Project consisted of drilling 26 core holes (1400 to 2500 ft. depth) with three drill rigs during one summer. Obtained approximately 25000 ft. of core for ore zone mapping, sub-surface evaluation and core analyses.
22. Prepared detailed Figure Four (CO) oil shale mine surface and underground mining and economic feasibility studies for various cases. Made presentations to ARCO, MOBILE (partner), and EQUITY OIL (partner) management.

The study included review of uranium ore grades, establishing cutoff grades, mine plans, and shaft and slope access evaluations. Mining and economic feasibility studies for various cases were completed. Project present worth and rate of return were calculated from capital and operating cost estimates. Made presentations to ARCO, PIONEER NUCLEAR (partner) and TEXAS OIL AND GAS (partner) managements.
25. Tested several rock and tailing samples to obtain physical and mechanical properties for operating and new coal, gold, lead-zinc, oil, platinum mine and prospects. The properties included physical, elastic and plastic under uniaxial and triaxial test conditions.
26. Team member on the ARCO Alaskan oil mining project. The project involved detailed study of shaft sinking, underground tunneling, mining methods selection, and assessment of enhanced oil recovery methods and technical feasibility. The oil formation is located at a depth of 3000 ft depth (UGNU) with a potential 20 billion barrels in place. I have conducted the shaft and tunnel stability analyses using finite element programs. Worked with several consultants, engineering and construction companies.
27. Conducted research on the new coal mining method- Bore Mining System. This new mining system involved in researching new mining system and new mining equipment design to maximize coal recovery by improving safety and reducing cost. Various mine layouts, stability analyses, and equipment configurations were prepared.
