Geomechanical Aspects of Abandoned Room and Pillar Mines and Remediation Measures

Omtale

Geomechanical Aspects of Abandoned Room and Pillar Mines and Remediation Measures deals with the occurrence, prediction and control of subsidence issues encountered in room and pillar mining, including creep, degradation, and seismic aspects. The book distinguishes itself by: Presenting a unified treatise of room and pillar minesUse of clear definitions and explanations of fundamental conceptsConsidering long-term aspects (creep and degradation), seismic effects, remedial measures, contact type and remote-sensing monitoring techniquesInclusion of physical and numerical modelingDemonstrating an inside view of procedures and solution techniquesThis book provides a clear understanding of active and/or abandoned room and pillar mines. It is aimed at academics and engineers with a mining and/or civil engineering background, but also serves as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students. .
