Ground support modelling involving large ground deformation : Simulation of field observations – Part 1
The Kristineberg mine has a long history of large ground deformation which consequently incites ground control problems for the mine. Over the years the mine has developed various mining techniques, backfilling and ground support procedures to manage this problem. In general the ground control probl...

The Kristineberg mine has a long history of large ground deformation which consequently incites ground control problems for the mine. Over the years the mine has developed various mining techniques, backfilling and ground support procedures to manage this problem. In general the ground control problems at the mine are highly influenced by the wall rock geology. The wall rock, that is the footwall and hanging wall, comprise of highly altered chlorite schist, which are internally referred to as talc-schist. They very often occur as seams with thickness barely ranging from 0.1 m to as wide as 3.0 m. Coupled with high ground stresses the talc squeezes and slides into the stope if undercut by the excavation, or either bends or bulges inwards when exposed but not undercut depending on the loading direction. The deformation magnitudes have often been reported to be in the order of 0.2 to 0.5 m and seldom up to 1.0 m. Conventional rock support system, consisting of fibre re-enforced shotcrete and rebar rock bolts, has regularly failed under these conditions. As part of Ground Support Research Initiative at Luleå University of Technology a monitoring program was designed to measure ground deformation and the response of the ground support system. Numerical modelling was conducted to capture the responses as observed during monitoring.
