Influence of block cave mining on pit slope deformation mechanisms
Several mining operations are considering the switch from surface to underground in order to mine deeper resources. When making this switch block cave mining is often considered to minimize costs. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the mechanics of rock slope movements and failure...
