The existence of joints poses a challenge to the dynamic stability of underground caverns. To investigate the dynamic response of the underground cavern affected by an unexposed joint, a series of SHPB tests were conducted on the marble specimens with a cavern and differently distributed joint, including the cases of joint location dips of 0°, 56°, 90°, 134°, …
Underground coal mining often causes subsidence, goaf landslides, fissures, and even hazard chains, seriously damaging the ecological environment. To address the ecological vulnerability of mining areas is key to exploring the development characteristics and failure mechanisms of surface multi-hazards. Taking the Shuiliandong coal mine as an example, the …

When mining near the fault can cause the fault to slip and release energy, resulting in rockburst and posing a significant safety risk to coal mine production. This paper proposes a numerical simulation method, based on FLAC3D numerical simulation, for calculating the dynamic response of fault slip below the impact of mining. The release patterns of energy …
Sensitivity analysis should be conducted to investigate the effect of geometrical properties of rock joints (e.g., stiffness, roughness, friction, dip direction, interconnectivity, joint spacing, distance between joints and excavation, etc.) and rock mass properties (e.g., friction, cohesion, deformation modulus) on the stability of underground ...

Understanding and preventing slips, trips, and falls is crucial in mining to prevent injuries and fatalities. Mining operations can create various hazards such as uneven surfaces, slippery floors, and obstructions, and implementing measures such as regular maintenance, good housekeeping, and proper footwear can help reduce the risk of these types of accidents.

About one quarter of the coal produced in Australia is by underground mining methods. The most commonly used underground coal mining methods in Australia are longwall, and room and pillar. This paper …
Perturbations arising from mining operations significantly affect the stability of rock masses, and the influences aggerates with the rapid increase of mining-operation depths …
Cleats & Joints. Fracturing is the basic element of tectonic disturbance. The process of folding gives rise to fracturing in beds. Cleats are natural fractures in coal. Methane and other coal seam gases will flow out of pores of coal if there is a pressure gradient acting as a driving force and the fractures are sufficiently open or permeable ...
Underground mining has historically occurred in surface and near-surface (shallow) mineral deposits. While no universal definition of deep underground mining exists, humanity's need for non-renewable natural resources has inevitably pushed the boundaries of possibility in terms of environmental and technological constraints.
Fault-slip induced rockbursts can cause large deformation and serious damage to underground drifts, equipment destruction and casualties (Wang et al., 2022; He et al., 2023). …

Roof bolt reinforcement of stratified carboniferous and fragile strata is a popular way of roof support in underground mines. The manifestation of strain energy of strata generated during coal winning generates convergence on established highways, the magnitude of which is exclusively determined by the strength, manner of beam construction, and time.

Abstract The use of joint properties and joint mapping techniques are key for fall of ground management in underground mining. This paper outlines the use of probabilistic design approach in addressing potential falls of ground, based on identi-fied keyblocks. A shallow chrome mine was used as a case study to identify potential causes of falls ...
Protecting the health and safety of the workers is a major consideration in properly conducted mining operations and, in most countries, is required by laws and regulations. The Underground Mine. The underground mine is a factory located in the bedrock inside the earth in which miners work to recover minerals hidden in the rock mass.

Abstract The ore dilution is generally defined as the degradation of economical and valuable ore with the addition of the unwanted host rock, failed backfilled material and or ore material considered below the cut-off the grade. The importance of ore dilution on the profitability of a mining operation is very well known and also well documented, since, it adds to the cost …
dismounting of equipment, make miners vulnerable to slips and falls. Miners sometimes have to hand-carry heavy objects. This can lead to reduced visibility and awkward body positions which can cause slips and falls. Snow, ice, and freezing rain make surfaces very slippery. Wear shoes or boots with non-slip soles. Be careful while walking.
Introduction. Fault-slip rockbursts are sudden and violent rock failure in underground excavations in mining and civil engineering. They are generally caused by sudden slippage along a fault or a shear rupture which releases a large amount of elastic energy that is stored in the surrounding rock masses (Kaiser and Cai, 2012).
