Three-dimensional numerical analysis of rock deformation in underground mining excavations ‒ Boukhadra iron mine (Algeria)
Purpose. Assessing the stability of underground mine workings excavated in fractured rock masses, deformation and failure of jointed rock masses. Methodology. A numerical model was developed using FLAC3D v6 to reproduce: 1) in situ conditions for the gallery in its natural state without support, 2) the gallery after...
