Estimation of Pillar Stability Based on Viscoelastic Model of Rock Mass

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

Based on solution to the inverse problem, a procedure is proposed for determining rheological properties of rocks by measurements of relative displacements of pillar walls. The influence exerted by properties of contact with enclosing rocks and shape of a pillar on its stability is analyzed.
