Numerical Simulation of Surface Subsidence and Backfill Material Movement Induced by Underground Mining

Surface subsidence induced by underground mining is one of the challenging problems in mining engineering, which can destroy ground surface buildings and cause huge economic losses to the mine. In this study, a two-dimensional numerical model, established by the discrete element method code PFC2D, w...
