The stability of underground entry-type excavations will directly affect the working
environment and the safety of staff. Empirical critical span graphs and traditional statistics …

The assessment of the stope stability is of great importance in the underground mine design
process. The instability of stopes leads to serious economic and safety problems in mining …

Determining stability, quantifying planned dilution, and estimating the potential dilution
associated with hangingwall overbreak are critical in the process of stope design in sublevel …

The stability graph method is widely used for open stope mine design. During the
development of the method the effect of induced stresses were included by using two …

A back-propagation neural network prediction model with three layers and six neurons in the
hidden layer is established to overcome the limitation of the equivalent linear overbreak …

The main issue in short-term planning optimisation for underground mining is organising the
mining process with limited resources in the form of equipment and materials to satisfy …

This study applies a supervised random forest (SRF) paradigm to predict the underground
stope stability. To improve the model prediction accuracy, 400 actual stopes with three main …

The Stability Graph has become an industry standard for open stope design. To date, there
are two schools of thought on the use of the Original and Modified Stability Graph number …

The stability of the excavated space is one of the basic issues in the design of mines and
underground spaces, which if not adequately addressed, leads to economical losses …

Machine learning (ML) applications are increasing their footprint in underground mine
planning, enabled by the gradual enrichment of research methods. Indeed, improvements in …
