Limiting the potential for seismic events using models
A numerical model has proven successful in predicting rock mass response when mining the shaft pillars in mines. This will contribute to safer mining by enabling mining companies to avoid seismic events induced by this mining activity. The model simulates the bore-and-fill operations calibrated a...
