Forecasting vulnerability of deep extraction level excavations to draw-induced cave loads
Block and panel caving methods are increasingly used for mining of large and strong orebodies at large depths below the ground surface (>1 km). This paper focuses on the production phase of caving when the extraction level is fully developed and subjected to the weight of overlying caved material...
