10、 [1]. Between 1984 and 1993 eight underground miners were killed in Ontario due to rockbursts. This accounted for ? Jw - joint water reduction factor? SRF - stress reduction factor.The actual Q formula is Q= RQD/Jn ×

11、; Jr/Ja × Jw/SRF.The Jw/SRF factor was assumed to be 1.0 for this study because dry conditions are assumed. Stress is factored through modelling and strain measurements. The Q factor ranges on a logarithmic scale ra

15、rockburst is an instantaneous rock failure in or about an excavated area characterized/accompanied by a shock or tremor in the surrounding rock.PUN-RF refers to potentially unstable ground with respect to a roof fall. A

16、stope is considered potentially unstable if any of the following conditions occur [2]:? The opening may exhibit strong discontinuities having orientations that form potential wedges in the back.? Extra ground support may

18、N-GW refers to a stope considered potentially unstable due to the likelihood of a ground wedge failure. This is a subset of PUN-RF collected separately to identify areas where jointing may result in wedge failures.Cave r
