  • More about Ground Support Technology for Highly Stressed Excavations: Integrated Theoretical, Laboratory, and Field Research


Ground support is crucial for limiting failures in deep or highly stressed excavations, and this book covers laboratory and theoretical developments, field experiments, and observations. It explores the mechanics, demand, and capacity of ground support technology, including a comprehensive database of mesh, rock bolts, cable bolts, and shotcrete capacity. It also examines ground support scheme testing and explanation, with comprehensive case studies, including de-stress blasting. The book is aimed at professionals in mining engineering, civil engineering, geological engineering, and geotechnical engineering, and related advanced postgraduate studies.

Ground support plays a crucial role in mitigating failures that occur at the rock surfaces of deep or highly stressed excavations. This comprehensive book delves into laboratory and theoretical advancements, complemented by field experiments and observations, to implement the methodology at mines. It elucidates the energy dissipation capabilities of reinforcement and support systems, enabling the design of robust ground support schemes capable of maintaining integrity even after the dynamic ejection of a mass of rock from an excavation boundary.

The book's key features include:

• An in-depth exploration of the mechanics, demand, and capacity of ground support technology.
• A comprehensive coverage of theories, laboratory and field test results, and case studies related to ground support technology.
• A comprehensive database of mesh, rock bolts, cable bolts, and shotcrete capacity.
• An examination of ground support scheme testing and explanation.
• Discussions of comprehensive case studies, including de-stress blasting.

This book is specifically designed for professionals in mining engineering, civil engineering, geological engineering, and geotechnical engineering, as well as advanced postgraduate studies. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their understanding and expertise in ground support technology.
