The first comprehensive work on one of the most important
underground mining methods worldwide, Geotechnical Design for
Sublevel Open Stoping presents topics according to the conventional
sublevel stoping process used by most mining houses, in which a
sublevel stoping geometry is chosen for a particular mining method,
equipment availability, and work force experience. Summarizing
state-of-the-art practices encountered during his 25+ years of
experience at industry-leading underground mines, the author:
Covers the design and operation of sublevel open stoping, including
variants such as bench stoping Discusses increases in sublevel
spacing due to advances in the drilling of longer and accurate
production holes, as well as advances in explosive types, charges,
and initiation systems Considers improvements in slot rising
through vertical crater retreat, inverse drop rise, and raise
boring Devotes a chapter to rock mass characterization, since
increases in sublevel spacing have meant that larger, unsupported
stope walls must stand without collapsing Describes methodologies
to design optimum open spans and pillars, rock reinforcement of
development access and stope walls, and fill masses to support the
resulting stope voids Reviews the sequencing of stoping blocks to
minimize in situ stress concentrations Examines dilution control
action plans and techniques to back-analyze and optimize stope wall
performance Featuring numerous case studies from the world-renowned
Mount Isa Mines and examples from underground mines in Western
Australia, Geotechnical Design for Sublevel Open Stoping is both a
practical reference for industry and a specialized textbook for
advanced undergraduate and postgraduate mining studies.
