Seismicity occurs if the slip takes place violently and kinetic energy is released into the surrounding rock. The rock surrounding the fault plane may be seen as loading system which drives the slippage along the fault. The stiffness of the rock surrounding a fault plane will determine whether slip takes place violently or not. The project was aimed at determining how the relative geometry of a fault and a tabular excavation affects the shear stiffness of the surrounding strata.enSIMRACGAP 003Seismic activitiesMining geometryPreliminary study of the effects of fault properties and mining geometry on the stiffness of the loading system in fault slip seismic events as a basis for identifying situations prone to seismic activity.Conference PresentationEsterhuizen, G.
