Muhtasari	Mine ventilation is the design and operation of systems that deliver fresh air to underground mining areas and remove contaminated air, heat, and hazardous gases. It is critical for worker safety and productivity, maintaining breathable air (sufficient oxygen, low dust and gas concentrations) and acceptable temperatures. Proper ventilation design requires calculating heat loads from mining operations, determining required air volumes, and designing shaft/drift geometry to deliver adequate flow.	The Hoek-Brown Criterion, developed by Evert Hoek and E. T. Brown starting in 1980, is an empirical failure criterion that predicts the shear strength of rock masses as a function of confining pressure. It accounts for rock quality (via the Geological Strength Index, GSI) and thus bridges laboratory rock mechanics and field behavior. The criterion is widely used in mining for slope stability, pillar design, and stress analysis.
