BLOCK CAVING 1 m of floor heave and progressive failure of the support and reinforcement system. Subsequently, a new sublevel caving layout was developed for depths of greater than 600 m on the basis of operational considerations and a detailed rock mechanics study including three dimensional non-linear modelling and performance monitoring. The layout finally adopted has a sublevel spacing of 25 m with 4.5 m by 4.5 m cross-cuts on 17.5 m centres. Drift support and reinforcement is by fibre reinforced shotcrete, mesh, Split Set rock bolts installed close to the face, and grouted reinforcing bar rock bolts installed 10 m behind the face. In areas of very weak ground, the grouted rock bolts may be replaced by 5 m long cable bolts (Struthers et al., 2000). 15.5 Block caving The essential features of the block caving method of mining and the basic geomechanics issues involved, were discussed in section 12.4.9. The key issue to be addressed when considering the use of block caving is the cavability of the orebody and the waste rock. This is a function of the geomechanical properties of the rock mass and of the in situ and induced stresses. Mine design in block caving involves important geomechanics considerations in the choice of block dimensions, the choice of an extraction system, the determination of drawpoint size and spacing, the design of the ore pass and haulage system, and the scheduling of development and production operations. Finally, the results obtained from a block caving operation depend on the fragmentation and draw control achieved. The geomechanics of each of these major aspects of the block caving method will be discussed in the subsequent sections. The surface subsidence associated with block caving is considered in Chapter 16. The discussion of these issues presented here is a digest of the detailed account of block caving geomechanics given by Brown (2003). 15.5.1 Basic caving mechanics It must be expected that any unsupported rock mass will cave if it is undercut over a sufficient area. Caving occurs as a result of two major influences – gravity and the stresses induced in the crown or back of the undercut or cave. The mechanisms by which caving occurs will depend on the relations between the induced stresses, the strength of the rock mass and the geometry and strengths of the discontinuities in the rock mass. Much accumulated experience supports the contention of Kendorski (1978) that the successful initiation and propagation of caving requires the presence of a well-developed, low-dip discontinuity set. The structure most favourable for caving has been found to be one in which a low-dip discontinuity set is augmented by two steeply dipping sets which provide conditions suitable for the vertical displacement of blocks of rock (e.g. Mahtab et al., 1973). If the compressive tangential stresses induced in the crown of the undercut or cave are low, or tend to be tensile, blocks of rock may become free to fall under the influence of gravity or to slide on inclined discontinuities. These conditions may occur when the horizontal in situ stresses are low or where boundary slots or previous mining have relieved the stresses or redistributed them away from the block or panel being mined. Even under these circumstances, it is sometimes possible for a self-supporting arch to develop in the crown of the cave, especially if an appropriate draw control strategy is not in place. 465
Figure 15.32 Distinct element simulation of block caving (after Voegele et al., 1978). LONGWALL AND CAVING MINING METHODS Some of the mechanisms by which caving and arching may occur are illustrated by the simple and idealised distinct element simulation shown in Figure 15.32. Each pair of drawings in Figure 15.32 represent the geometric configuration of the blocks and the inter-block contact force vectors at different stages in the progressive caving of the mass. Note that two apparently independent arches form where 466
