Characterization and analysis of discontinuous subsidence associated with block cave mining using advanced numerical modelling and insar deformation monitoring

While block caving presents an economic means to develop lower grade ore deposits, it often leads to significant ground deformations threatening the safety of overlying mine infrastructure. For guidance on relationships between caving depth and surface subsidence, a comprehensive cave mining databas...
