1. Evaluation of rock mass strength criteria
Abstract : Knowledge of the rock mass behaviour in general, the failure process and the strength in particular, is important for the design of all kinds of underground excavations. One of the most common ways of estimating the rock mass strength is by using a failure criterion. READ MORE

2. Strength, fallouts and numerical modelling of hard rock masses
Abstract : The prediction of compressive stress-induced failures is of concern for the design and construction of deep underground excavations in mining and civil engineering. An overstressed rock mass may result in fallouts of rock, which may cause occupational safety hazards, damage of equipment, and/or production disturbances. READ MORE

3. Prediction of rock failures in mines, with application to the Näsliden mine in northern Sweden
Abstract : Continous cut and fill mining will cause increased loading of the roof of the stopes in mining operations. The aim of the present work is to predict what mining levels will induce critically large loads in the roof of the stopes in cut and fill mining and in particular the Näsliden Mine, in Northern Sweden.
