Delineation of large localized damage structures forming ahead of an active mining front by using advanced acoustic emission mapping techniques

Author: Moriya, H ; Naoi, M ; Nakatani, M ; van Aswegen, C ; Murakami, O ; Kgarume, Thabang E ; Ward, AK ; Durrheim, RJ ; Philipp, J ; Kawakata, H ; Ogasawara, H Date: Oct 2015 The authors applied advanced mapping techniques to 291 230 acoustic emission (AE) events as small as around M -4 that were recorded over 50 days by an ultra-high resolution network close to the active front of a tabular mining stope being ...

Detection of mining-induced fractures around a stope in Ezulwini gold mine, South Africa, by using AE events with similar waveforms

Author: Moriya, H ; Naoi, M ; Nakatani, M ; Murakami, O ; Kgarume, Thabang E ; Ward, AK ; Durrheim, R ; Philipp, J ; Yabe, Y ; Kawakata, H ; Ogasawara, H Date: Nov 2012 The ability to predict rock failure is desirable for the prevention of disasters in mines. The acoustic emission (AE) method is a well-known tool for monitoring fracture growth in rock masses that is used to help ensure safety during excavations. ... Read more
Frequency–magnitude distribution of -3.7 < M(subW) < 1 mining-induced earthquakes around a mining front and b value invariance with post-blast time

Author: Naoi, M ; Nakatani, M ; Horiuchi, S ; Yabe ; Philipp, J ; Kgarume, Thabang E ; Morema, G ; Khambule, S ; Masakele, T ; Ribeiro, L ; Miyakawa, K ; Watanabe, A ; Otsuki, K ; Moriya, H ; Murakami, O ; Kawakata, H ; Yoshimitsu, N ; Ward, A ; Durrheim, R ; Ogasawara, H Date: Oct 2014 The authors investigated frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) of acoustic emissions (AE) occurring near an active mining front in a South African gold mine, using a catalog developed from an AE network, which is capable of detecting AEs ...

Steady activity of microfractures on geological faults loaded by mining stress

Author: Naoi, M ; Nakatani, M ; Otsuki, K ; Yabe, Y ; Kgarume, Thabang E ; Murakami, O ; Masakale, T ; Ribeiro, L ; Ward, A ; Moriya, H ; Kawakata, H ; Durrheim, R ; Ogasawara, H Date: May 2015 Acoustic Emissions (AE) down to MW ~ –4 were recorded at a site 1 km beneath the surface in the Cooke 4 Mine, South Africa. Several planar AE clusters with lateral extent of 10–100 m were identified. Most of them were located several tens of ... Read more
Unexpectedly frequent occurrence of very small repeating earthquakes (5.1=Mw=3.6) in a South African gold mine: Implications for monitoring intraplate faults

Author: Naoi, M ; Nakatani, M ; Igarashi, T ; Otsuki, K ; Yabe, Y ; Kgarume, Thabang E ; Murakami, O ; Masakale, T ; Ribeiro, L ; Ward, AK ; Moriya, K ; Kawakata, H ; Nakao, S ; Durrheim, RJ ; Ogasawara, H Date: Dec 2015 The authors observed very small repeating earthquakes with -5.1 = Mw = -3.6 on a geological fault at 1 km depth in a gold mine in South Africa. Of the 851 acoustic emissions that occurred on the fault during the 2 month analysis period, 45% ... Read more
