Direct strain evaluation method for laboratory-based pillar performance

Pillar stability is one of important aspects for underground mines. Generally, the stability of the pillars is evaluated empirically based on case studies and site-specific rock mass conditions in mines. Nevertheless the empirical approach applicability can sometimes be constrained. The numerical-ba...
