Abstract

This paper reviews the background of, and solution techniques for, the major geomechanics problems affecting caving operations, including prediction of cavability, defining size distribution of or fragments, stability and support of production openings, and control of rock bursts and subsidence. Further research is also suggested in the solution of the various geomechanics problems.
