GAP 516, the current project, was concerned with the applicability of the above design approach to real mine geometries and has concentrated, therefore, on studying the behaviour of various closely monitored bracket pillars, including a validation, based on field data, of the bracket pillar design methodology.enSIMRACGAP 516Bracket pillar sizesBracket pillar design methodologyConference PresentationVieira, F., Dede, T., Stewart, R., & Ruskovich, A.
