Excerpt

Rock mass is a crucial element that influences operations throughout the life of a mine from its initial design, development and operation to its closure and environmental restoration. Most excavations are carried out in rock masses with very variable geological and geotechnical conditions resulting from the action of water, seismic effects, earth pressures or the dynamics of the mine itself (Prasad et al. 2013). …
