Article Description

Fractures have a dominant effect on the mechanical response of a rock mass subjected to mining operations. A numerical finite element model describing the anisotropic property of elasticity and seepage was used in this study to assess the drift spacing at the Heishan metal mine in Hebei Province, China. The fractured rock mass is assumed to be transversely isotropic, and the influence of joint orientation on the anisotropic properties of elasticity of the surrounding rock mass around roadways was investigated. The associated stress field and fracture pattern of the surrounding rock mass were also numerically studied. The results indicate that the existence of joint planes greatly affects the stress field and fracture patterns, and the principal direction of joints can control the failure pattern of the surrounding rock mass around drifts.
