International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The fundamentals of the theory of stability of mine workings are analyzed. The theory is based on the linearized three-dimensional theory of stability of deformable bodies. Some results on horizontal and vertical mine workings and on underground closed cavities are analyzed
