Stress heterogeneity and complexity: implications for mining
Stress fields in a disturbed discontinuum such as the Earth’s crust should be complex, and yet most mines make do with a handful of measurements not sufficient in coverage or number to capture the complexity of this fundamental input to mine design. Observations confirm that at a mine scale and smal...
