Experimental Tests on a Small-Scale Model of a Mine Stope to Study the Behavior of Waste Rock Barricades during Backfilling

This paper presents a reduced-scale physical model of a mine stope used to reproduce the underground stope backfilling practiced in some Canadian mines. The objective is to study the geomechanical behavior of the waste rock barricades in interaction with the mine backfill. The instrumentations, alon...
