Öz

Bu çalışmada, madencilikte açık ocak nihai sınırlarının belirlenmesinin önemi ve bu amaçla kullanılan blok model kavramı incelenmiştir. Daha sonra açık ocak nihai sınırlarını bulmak için sık kullanılan yöntemlerden Dinamik Programlama, Grafik Teorisi, Hareketli Koni Algoritması ve Maksimum Akış Algoritması detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Bu dört yöntem kullanılarak iki boyutlu bir blok model örneği üzerinde uygulama yapılmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre yöntemlerin avantaj ve dezavantajları belirtilmiştir.

Ultimate Pit Limit Determination Methods

Öz

In this study, the importance of determining the ultimate pit limits and block model concept used for this purpose, were examined. Then Dynamic Programming, Graph Theory, Maximum Flow Algorithm and Moving Cone Algorithm which are commonly used to find the pit limits were examined in detail. A two-dimensional block model example is optimized by using above 4 methods, and the results obtained are compared. According to the results obtained, advantages and disadvantages of the methods are outlined.
