Ground Control in Mining

Technological advances in field instrumentation and monitoring, computer modeling, laboratory testing, ground control support systems, development of deeper mines, slope, stability and strict mine health and safety regulations have brought significant improvements. to mine ground control engineering. This Collection on Ground Control in Mining will include papers on extreme ground conditions, bumps, rockbursts, mine case histories, in situ stress and global stability, numerical modeling applications in ground control, rockmass characterization, slope stability and monitoring, fundamental ground control studies, ground control support systems, surface subsidence, and any other aspects of ground control in mining.
