Ground Support in Mining and Underground Construction
Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Ground Support, Perth, Australia, 28-30 September 2004
Ground Support Purpose
The purpose of ground support is to safely maintain excavations for their expected lifespan.
Effectiveness of Ground Support
The effectiveness of ground support can be seen both in terms of personnel and equipment safety, and in terms of allowing the most economic extraction.
Contributors and Content
Scientists, practitioners and technology developers have contributed to this volume, which covers rock mass characterisation, open pit mining and tunnelling. The methods described include modelling and dynamic testing, while international case studies provide ample illustration of both failures and triumphs in ground support.
