Description
Stress in rock and the effect of depth on pre-mining stress state; other factors influencing stress in rock; mining-induced stress and the rock mass response to excavation process; stress distributions around different excavation shapes and sizes - elastic and inelastic rock materials; excavation stability and potential failure modes; interaction between different excavations (horizontal and vertical interaction); regional stability considerations; effect of time on rock behaviour around excavations.
