Transgranular microcracking is fundamental for the initiation and propagation of all fractures in rocks. The geometry of these microcracks is primarily controlled by the interaction of the imposed str...
The transition from surface to underground mining presents a series of technical and operational challenges, in particular those arising from the interaction between the cave and the overlying pit. Se...
We propose a new method to locate hydraulic fracturing induced seismicity using three-component S-waveforms. The method requires only time intervals around the peak amplitude of the S-wave and does no...
The cluster index provides a means to identify the seismic activity corresponding to the development of connected fracturing that creates paths for fluid transmission during hydraulic stimulations. Th...
This paper presents a summary of two different approaches to interpret the evolution of crack density in a rock mass induced by stress changes associated with excavation and heating-cooling processes....
Microseismicity has been extensively used to monitor rock mass response to stress changes; in particular excavation induced damage at underground mines and engineered structures. A methodology has bee...
Microseismicity provides a unique means of monitoring induced damage in the rock mass surrounding underground structures. The spatio-temporal distribution of the induced microseismic events can be use...
Microseismicity is extensively used to monitor induced damage accumulation and stability of underground structures. Classical location routines in this context can often not resolve the potential coal...
