Can mine tremors be predicted? Observational studies of earthquake nucleation, triggering and rupture in South African mines

Author: Durrheim, RJ ; Ogasawara, H Date: May 2012 Mining-induced earthquakes pose a risk to workers in deep mines, while natural earthquakes pose a risk to people living close to plate boundaries and even in stable continental regions. A five-year ca. US$3 million Japan-SA collaborative ... Read more
Coseismic and aseismic deformations associated with mining-induced seismic events located in deep level mines in South Africa

Author: Milev, A ; Share, P ; Durrheim, RJ ; Naoi, M ; Nakatani, M ; Yabe, Y ; Ogasawara, H Date: Oct 2013 Two underground sites in a deep level gold mine in South Africa were instrumented by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) with tilt meters and seismic monitors. One of the sites was also instrumented by Japanese-German ... Read more
CSIR annual report 1966

Author: CSIR Date: 01 May 1967 The CSIR annual report published for the year 1967. Read more
Energy and stiffness of mine models and seismicity

Author: Spottiswoode, SM ; Linzer, LM ; Majiet, S Date: Sep 2008 The researchers analysed seismicity in two deep gold mines in terms of strain energy release during mining. Mining took place with regularly-spaced dip pillars and backfill for regional support. The mines were chosen to represent mining of ... Read more
Numerical simulation of a multi-reef tabular mining layout in a South African platinum mine

Author: Napier, JAL ; Malan, DF Date: Sep 2008 Some of the key problems facing rock engineers on mines in the Bushveld Complex are design of stable panel spans, optimum pillar dimensions and assessing hangingwall stability. A particularly difficult problem is encountered in some mines ... Read more
