Voids (referred to as “stopes”) are generally created during underground mining activities
and can lead to both local and regional geotechnical instabilities. To assist in managing the …

To investigate on the strength and failure characteristics of cemented paste backfill-rock
(CPB-R) composite under uniaxial compression, specimen models of the CPB-R composite …

The development of iron-ore deposits is accompanied by the excavation formation of
considerable dimensions in the underground space and to ensure high technical and …

To ensure safe and economic backfilling of mined-out area, a key issue is to understand the
mechanical response of the backfill-rock interaction system. In this study, the Karagozian …

Evaluating the interaction between backfilled stopes and the surrounding rock mass is a vital
issue during secure backfill application and stope stability analysis. With the increase of rock …

Mining backfill is widely used in underground mines worldwide. The stresses in backfilled
stopes must be correctly evaluated because they influence the ground stability and the …

Backfill is often employed in mining operations for ground support, with its positive impact on
ground stability acknowledged in many underground mines. However, existing studies have …

Based on monitoring data and engineering geological conditions, the surface deformation
patterns caused by sublevel caving mining in the Dahongshan iron mine were analyzed. By …

Sill mats are important supporting structures commonly applied in underground mines for
better recovery. They are used to help recover sill pillars in open sto** or to provide a …

Abstract On 13 March 2016, a sudden, violent roof caving event with a collapse area of
nearly 11,000 m 2 occurred in the **chuan Nickel Mine and accompanied by air blasts …
