Impact of the Typical Errors in Geotechnical Core Logging for the Geomechanical Design in Large Caving Mines
Thursday, September 01, 2022, 05:00 PM - 05:30 PM ACST
The aim of this presentation is to show the impact of the geotechnical errors and mistakes over the geomechanical design, quantifying the variation in terms of rock mass strength, caveability, pillar strength, factor of safety, etc., that will produce a negative impact on both the capex, opex and high risk for a mining project and/or operation.
