Investigation of factors governing the stability of stope panels in hard rock mines in order to define a suitable design methodology for shallow mining operations

Instability in stope panels in shallow mines manifests itself as rockfalls from the hangingwall. Rockfalls from unstable stope panels vary in size from rockfalls between support units, to rockfalls spanning between pillars or solid abutments, to rockfalls bridging several panels and pillars. A suita...
