The ages that are generally reported for these fossils are around 197 thousand years (kyr) for the Kibish Omo I3,6,7, and around 160–155 kyr for the Herto hominins5,8. However, the stratigraphic relationships and tephra correlations that underpin these...

Slope stability modelling of slurry dams through cone penetration data interpretation

Abstract: This research entailed slope stability analysis of Orapa Mine Slurry Dam 2, located at Orapa in Botswana. The Finite Element (FE) Strength Reduction Technique was used and findings were compared with results from three Limit Equilibrium analysis techniques, namely Bishop Simplified, Spencer’s and Morgenstern-Price methods.
