Ground Support Systems in Block-Cave Mining, A Survey.


PB245193

Publication Date 1975
Personal Author McWilliams, P. C.; Gooch, A. E.
Page Count 50
Abstract Ground support problems were investigated in four major block-cave mines. This study provides a state-of-the-art look at ground support systems in today's block-cave mines. Further, areas for future research are delineated. In this regard, the most significant finding is the inability of present support systems to hold moving ground. As the mining progresses to greater depth, this problem becomes more serious. Providing adequate temporary capable of withstanding primary and secondary blasting is the next significant problem. A detailed analysis of the effect of mining methods on support problems is also recommended for future research.
