Figure D15: Tectonic model, plastic model for C=0, Φ =35º. (A) Major principal stress. Pinks and reds indicate high stress; (B) Differential stress. Yellow and greens indicate high differential stress; (C) Plastic yielding. Purple indicates tensile failures, green and pink indicate past and current yielding; (D) shear displacement along discontinuities. 176
D.2 Discussion of Phase 2 Models Elastic and plastic models were created using the finite element method in Phase 2 (Rocscience, 2005) to model the stress distribution resulting from geological structure and mining geometry on the 7200, 7400 and 7530 Levels. The modelling approach and results are discussed in this appendix. A comparison of results from Phase 2 and UDEC for the 7400 Level is also presented. D.2.1 Model Constituents Like UDEC models presented in Chapter 4, model geometry constructed in Phase 2 consists of: a) the model medium, whose geomechanical properties are modelled after footwall rocks in the Creighton Deep. Property values are taken or derived from values provided by Coulson (1996) for footwall rocks. Rock mass failure is governed by Mohr-Coulomb criteria (cohesion and friction). Values used in Phase 2 models are the same values used in UDEC models discussed in Chapter 4. b) pervasive joints that represent shear zones. Failure along these features is also governed by Mohr-Coulomb criteria. Like models created in UDEC, discontinuities in Phase 2 models assume lateral continuity of shear zones, far beyond the excavation. c) the main excavation that was modelled after level plans provided by Vale Inco. This comprises stopes and sills in the 400 Orebody. Model constituents are shown in Figure D16. 177
