Pillar strength in underground stone mines in the United States

TLDR
In this paper, a survey of pillar performance was carried out to identify potential modes of instability, such as spalling of the hard brittle rocks, shearing along pre-existing angular discontinuities or progressive extrusion of soft infill materials on bedding planes.

Comparative performance of six supervised learning methods for the development of models of hard rock pillar stability prediction

TL;DR: Six supervised learning algorithms, including linear discriminant analysis, multinomial logistic regression, multilayer perceptron neural networks, support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting machine are evaluated for their ability to learn for PS based on different input parameter combinations.

An Experimental and Numerical Study on Cracking Behavior of Brittle Sandstone Containing Two Non-coplanar Fissures Under Uniaxial Compression

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted uniaxial compression experiments to evaluate the influence of ligament angle on the strength, deformability, and fracture coalescence behavior of rectangular prismatic specimens of brittle sandstone containing two non-coplanar fissures.

AE event rate characteristics of flawed granite: from damage stress to ultimate failure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted uniaxial compression tests with combined acousto-optical monitoring techniques on flawed granite specimens, with the aim of investigating the fracture-related acoustic emission (AE) event rate characteristics at the unstable cracking phase in flawed rocks.

Analysis of Gateroad Stability in Relation to Yield Pillar Size: A Case Study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an integrated approach for field test and numerical modeling to investigate the relationship between gateroad stability and yield pillar size. But, the proposed numerical simulation procedure and calibrated method could be a viable alternative approach to yield pillar design.

Modelling brittle failure of rock

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a continuum modeling approach that captures an essential component of brittle rock mass failure, that is, cohesion weakening and frictional strengthening (CWFS) as function of rock damage or plastic strain.
