Effect of the rock properties on mining-induced seismicity around the Ventersdorp contact reef, Witwatersrand basin, South Africa

Author: Milev, AM ; Spottiswoode, SM Date: Jan 2002 The Ventersdorp Contact Reef is characterised by a variety of different rock types that are found above and below the reef in different mining areas. These variations in the host rock type have been classified into six main geotechnical areas. ... Read more
Manuel Rocha Medal recipient - A relative moment tensor inversion technique applied to seismicity induced by mining

Author: Linzer, LM Date: Apr 2005 The primary objective of this study was to develop a robust MTI method to estimate the moment tensors of clusters of seismic events recorded in the underground environment. To achieve this, three 'hybrid' MTI methods were developed by the ... Read more
Use of waveform similarity to define planes of mining-induced seismic events

Author: Spottiswoode, SM ; Milev, AM Date: 15 Apr 1998 Mining-induced seismicity results from a complex interaction of ambient and mining-induced stresses acting on a rock mass that has been intersected by a variety of geological weaknesses and discontinuities. A major challenge is to improve ... Read more
Violent failure of a remnant in a deep South African gold mine

Author: Durrheim, RJ ; Haile, A ; Roberts, MKC ; Schweitzer, JK ; Spottiswoode, SM ; Klokow, JW Date: 15 Apr 1998 The violent failure of a peninsular remnant at a depth of 2300 m below surface occurred in a mine in the Carletonville Goldfield of South Africa, severely damaging a stope mining the Ventersdorp Contact Reef (VCR). At the rockburst site the ... Read more
