1. 1. Evaluation of structurally controlled rockfall hazard for underground excavations in seismically active areas of the Kiirunavaara mine

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

   Author : Manuel Alberto Fuentes Espinoza; [2023]
   Keywords : Structurally controlled rockfalls; rockfalls due to seismic shaking; sublevel caving; fork layout; Unwedge; wedge analysis; deterministic analysis; probabilistic analysis;

   Abstract : Sublevel caving operations at great depths are subjected both to large stress concentrations that are redistributed as the mining front progresses and to mining-induced seismicity. This is the case for Kiirunavaara mine, Sweden’s largest underground mine. READ MORE

3. 2. Induced Seismicity in the Dannemora Mine, Sweden

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

   Author : Joanna Holmgren; [2015]
   Keywords : Mining-induced seismicity; phase picking; particle motion; local earthquake tomography; correlation; local magnitude;

   Abstract : Induced seismicity is a common phenomenon that occurs as soon as the stress state in the subsurface is externally altered in a way that faults are destabilized. It is especially problematic in stable tectonic regions where the area is not used to earthquakes; the infrastructure is not built to withstand ground movement and thus when the induced seismicity occurs damage can follow.
