Assessment of a Rock Pillar Failure by Using Change Detection Analysis and FEM Modelling
description In this paper, various methods have been used to control and evaluate engineering difficulties in mining accurately. Different unstable scenarios occurring at the surfaces of underground mine walls, have been identified by comparing 3D terrestrial laser scanning surveys and subsequent point cloud 3D analysis. These techniques, combined with a change detection analysis approach and the integration of rock mechanics’ modelling, represent an asset for the assessment and management of the risk in mining. The change detection analysis can be used as control of mining and industrial processes as well as to identify valid model scenarios for establishing possible failure causes. A pillar spalling failure has been identified in an Italian underground marble quarry and this topic represents the basis of the present paper. A Finite-Element Method was used to verify the occurrence of relatively high-stress concentrations in the pillar. The FEM modelling revealed that stresses in the proximity of the pillar may have sufficient magnitude to induce cracks growth and spalling failure.
