Short Course: Empirical Design Methods for Underground Mines
This course provides the operators of underground mines with the tools required to make on site pillar and opening stability assessments. Dr. Rimas Pakalnis, PhD, PEng, and Associate Professor within the Mining Engineering Department at UBC, will teach the participants how to make decisions on site stability assessments of openings and pillars, develop an understanding of the critical field data required for stability assessment, judge the influence of rock mechanics on the stability of planned openings, and understand the influence of rock mechanics on overall mine design. The next session of this course occurs from June 8-9.
