Failure Mechanisms and Pre-Reinforcement Design for Ore Passes under High in-situ Stresses: A Case Study from the Asheler Deep Mine

The current deep shaft environment at Asheler features highly stressed expansive rock with well-developed joints, poor surrounding rock stability, and a distinct foliated structure that softens and mudifies upon contact with water. Under joint impacts of high shaft stress and ore impact, existing ore pass has experienc...
