Video 3: Geotechnical Hazard Awareness: Cohesion, Friction and Stress

Описание: Geotechnical Hazard Awareness – Video 3: Cohesion, Friction & Stress

Welcome to the third video in the Geotechnical Hazard Awareness series.

In this episode, we explore three fundamental concepts that influence rock mass stability in mining environments: Cohesion, Friction, and Stress. These principles are relevant across both surface and underground operations, and this video is designed to hit that balance between field practicality and technical insight.
