Obtaining a reasonable assessment of the stability of high-level pillars stabilized using
cemented backfill is particularly important when designing deeply-buried metal mines. This …

Deep metal mines are often mined using the high-level pillars with subsequent cementation
backfilling (HLSCB) mining method. At the design stage, it is therefore important to have a …

A reliable design of stopes is critical to ensure both safety and efficiency in mining
operations. The evolving mining methods and technologies as well as increasing mining …

Estimating average vertical pillar stresses is a critical step in designing room-and-pillar
mines. Several analytical methods can be used to estimate the vertical stresses acting on …

Purpose. It is important to conduct a study to identify the displacement zone caused by
mining operations. By numerical modeling the process of mining the longwall 31104 in …

Destress blasting (DB) implemented along the perimeter of safety pillars is a special
application of destressing in coal longwall mining. The goal is to separate relatively more …

With the development of society, the demand for mineral resources is gradually increasing,
and the current situation of decreasing total resources dictates the inevitable interaction …

The stacking of impermissible materials in the disposal of dry fly ash is unprecedented in the
last 40 years of power plant management in China, and their effect on the stability of the …

The extraction of high-grade ore from the crown pillar (CP) in open pit-underground mines
poses stability challenges and potential environmental risks. While an open pit has the …

In underground metal mining, ensuring the stability of pillars considered as a principal
apprehension, given the likelihood of stress increase and relief leading to dynamic pillar …
