    Applications of seismic hazard assessment methods in mines

    By G. van Aswegen

    Large structures in mines (faults, dykes, pillars, abutments) fail when the load exceeds the strength. If the loading system stiffness (LSS, also referred to as the ‘local mine stiffness’) is lower th

    Time-Dependent Behaviour Of Hard Rock In Deep Level Gold Mines

    By D. F. Malan

    In deep level hard rock mining the rheological behaviour of the rock is important as time-dependent aseismic processes can lead to a stable dissipation of energy thus reducing violent outbursts. Under

    Stability design of slopes in carbonatite complexes characterised by brecciation

    By D. Moses, J. A. Onyango

    Carbonatites are generally competent rock masses with rock mass rating class II rating 60–74. In spite of their competency, they tend to be affected by weak features like manganese-iron veins and/or i
