Stability of underground excavations is of great importance to an
operating mine because it ensures the safety of the working people
and operating equipment, and successful ore production. Due to the
complex geological conditions and mine constructions, and
variability and uncertainty in estimating rock mass mechanical
properties, the assessment of rock mass stability for an
underground mine is extremely challenging and difficult. Tackling
of this difficult problem is not covered in detail in any of the
textbooks currently available in the rock mechanics literature.
This monograph aims to cover this gap in the rock mechanics and
rock engineering field. This monograph provides detailed procedures
for the stability assessment and support design for an underground
mine case study. It covers the background of the mine site
including the monitored deformation data, the state-of-art
methodologies for the stability analysis of rock masses around
underground excavations, performed laboratory tests, estimation of
the rock mass properties, a brief theory and background of the 3-D
Distinct Element Code (3DEC), and numerical modeling of underground
rock mass stability including investigation of the effectiveness of
rock supports. The monograph is an excellent reference for the
senior undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and
practitioners who work in the Underground Rock Mechanics and Rock
Engineering area in the Mining Engineering, Civil Geotechnical
Engineering and DEM (Distinct Element Method) Numerical modeling.
