Optimizing roof control using probabilistic techniques in roof failure prediction

<p>A major objective in the design stage of an underground mine is the reliable prediction of roof falls' size, frequency and location. Probabilistic simulation of potential roof control problems allows a designer to test the performance of competing mine layouts against assumed roof cond...
