Geotechnical Properties of Mine Fill
نویسنده
چکیده
Mine fill is the material placed underground to fill the voids created by mining excavations. It provides overall large scale ground stabilization while allowing localized pillar recovery. In addition to providing a working floor or back, mine fill has the potential to reduce subsidence and minimize dilution. Mine fill is essential to cut and fill, benching and sublevel stoping mining methods. This paper describes mine fill research carried out at the Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) over the last 10 years or so. The research included cemented paste fill (CPF), cemented hydraulic fill (CHF) and cemented aggregates/rock fill (CAF/CRF) optimization projects for a number of mines throughout Australia and overseas.

Slope stability is one of the most important issues in open pit mining design. The main purpose of any open pit mine design is to propose an optimal excavation configuration, considering safety, ore recovery and financial return. An accurate pit slope design which accounts for the mine geology, structural geology, rock mass properties, and hydrogeology models of the mine area, drastically enhan...

Geology and the detailed understanding of its properties are fundamental to the optimal design and successful operation of any mine. To that end, extensive fieldwork was conducted at Sandsloot open pit (PPRust— Anglo Platinum) to collect geotechnical information both from exploration boreholes and in-pit mining faces. Over a fie-year period, geotechnical data were collected from 29, 213 m of ex...
