Selection Of Shaft Sinking Method By Fuzzy Vikor Approach

Shaft sinking is one of the main parts in underground mine planning. Shaft has various applications in underground mines such as minerals exiting flow, gases entrance, stope developments for exploitation, etc. Considering that this section requires an abundance of expenses, management always following the election is the way that both terms have the technical considerations, economic constraints are also considered. Therefore, selecting shaft sinking method is one of the biggest concerns of underground mines management. There are some methods for this purpose including Delphi, ELECTRE, TOPSIS and VIKOR. This paper intends to use VIKOR method under fuzzy environment in order to choose a ventilation shaft sinking method for Parvade Mine located in Coal Zone of Tabas. The results indicate that raise boring machine (RBM) method is the most preferable method.
