1. 1. Rock Wedge Stability Assessment : A Comparative Analysis of Limit Equilibrium and Discrete Element Methods

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Vilma Nordh; [2024]
   Keywords : Numerical modelling; wedge stability; 3DEC; UnWedge;

   Abstract : Rock wedge stability is a common concern in underground excavations. Since the wedge stability influences the support design, it is important to use a wedge stability analysis method that can capture factors like excavation geometry, joint parameters and properties, rock mass properties, rock cover, and stress field as accurately as possible.

3. 2. Extraction of Backfilled Tailings in the Dannemora Mine – Economic Potential and Rock Stability Assessment

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : John Winlund; [2022]
   Keywords : backfilled tailings; Dannemora mine; iron ore; rock stability; stopes; återfylld anrikningssand; Dannemoragruvan; järnmalm; bergstabilitet; öppna brytningsrum;

   Abstract : The cut-off grade determines what rock mass are economic to mine. At the Dannemora mine, in eastern Bergslagen, Sweden, previously processed ore generated tailings (enrichment sand) with an iron content of 21-22 % that was backfilled into large open bodies (stopes) in the mine between 2013-2015.

The population explosion is driving massive urbanization and infrastructure developments across the globe, which result in huge demand for metals, especially steel. READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of methods for rock mass characterization and design of rock slopes in crystalline rock

   University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

   Author : Johanna Gottlander; []
   Keywords : Geology; rock mechanics; rock slope stability in fractured crystalline rock; rock mass characterization and classification; rock slope design; slope failure;

   Abstract : Construction of rock slopes is needed in many civil work projects. It is for example very common in road and railway cuts, but other applications include excavation for tunneling or building foundations, where perhaps sensitive constructions are present in the immediate vicinity.
