The present paper considers aspects of underground iron ore mining in Ukraine, in
particular the level of mine production and reserves of basic ore fields. It analyzes and …

To determine ground stress behavior under the special condition of a regenerated roof, we
established a model of elastic rectangular cantilever thin plates. Moreover, the critical …

The discrete fracture network (DFN) method is essential for estimating the mechanical
properties of naturally fractured rock masses. A three-dimensional (3D) equivalent DFN …

Ground subsidence caused by natural or anthropogenic processes affects major urban
areas worldwide. Sinkhole formation and infrastructure fractures have intensified in the …

In order to study the surface movement and deformation law of deep continuous mining of
steeply inclined orebodies in high-stress areas, the surface movement and deformation law …

Mechanisms responsible for the caving of the strata overlying Chengchao Iron Mine were
investigated by analyzing in situ deformation monitoring results and the distinctive …

Subsidence is an important environmental and safety issue in the mining sector, yet there
remain voids in knowledge in terms of management and prediction. This study aims to …

Underestimation of customized shortwall mining parameters of deep extra-thick coal seams
(namely, mining height, mining width, and pillar width) may result in coal pillar instability …

Underground coal mining activities and ground movement are directly correlated, and coal
mining-induced ground movement can cause damage to property and resources, thus its …

In this study, a three-dimensional finite difference numerical model of the Jinfeng Gold Mine,
including surface topography, ore body, shafts, and main faults, was built to estimate the …
