Evaluation of the influence of uncertainty between predicted and measured ground water and in-situ stress on the stability of a large open pit using a three dimensional distinct element method

© 2017 ARMA, American Rock Mechanics Association. This study focuses on the use of a predictive three dimensional distinct element numerical model to assess the potential for large-scale failure mechanisms at a diamond mine in Canada. The upper portion of the kimberlite pipe has been exploited by tr...
