Improving the Stability of Subsurface Structures in Deep Metal Mines by Stress and Energy Adjustment: A Case Study

In deep hard-rock mines, the failure of subsurface structures (e.g., tunnels, stopes, and shafts) has been a significant problem affecting mining safety due to the high-stress environment. In this paper, the mechanism of structural failure and instability is discussed, and optimized excavation metho...
