Rock stability analysis on the model of designed and constructed roadways in the 'Jama' Bor

Abstract

For the purpose of continuous production design in the deeper levels of underground mine JAMA Bor, at first the rock stability analysis of ore deposit 'Borska Reka' was performed before beginning of design the exploitation. Analysis was performed on the designed roadway model at the XVII level in ore deposit Borska Reka, with the scope of confirmation the relevance of data collected from previous research and studies. Analyses presented in this paper were performed by using software package Phase2, Rocscience Inc., which calculations are based on stress-strain condition analysis with finite element method to analyze behavior of rocks. It can be used for a wide range of engineering projects.
