Practical Rock Mechanics (Introduction) Short Course28–29 July 2014

Course objectivesThis course is designed to develop specific underground mining geomechanics competencies for mine geologists and engineers so their contribution to mine site geomechanics programmes is enhanced.

Course topics• Geomechanics data collection.• Intact rock.• Discontinuities.• Rock mass classification.• Stress measurements.• Rock fracture criteria.• Underground geomechanics design.• Numerical modelling.• Monitoring.

The course could be of particular benefit to geomechanics personnel with limited practical experience and is applicable to both open pit and underground mining personnel.

Ground Support in Mining (Introduction) Short Course 30 July–1 August 2014

Course objectivesThis basic level course has been developed to cover both the technical and practical aspects of ground support for open pit and underground metalliferous and coal mines.

Course topics• Types of ground instability in underground and surface

excavations.• Mechanisms of reinforcing and supporting rock.• Bolting alternatives and their relative performance.• Support design techniques including practical

constraints on design.• Support installation methods and minimum standards

of installation quality.• Quality assurance programmes.• Support costs and monitoring the support design.• Rockfalls and mine seismicity in underground mines.• Ground support in highly deformable ground.• Case studies from the coal and metalliferous industries.

Each topic will be illustrated by case history examples from surface and underground mines.The course is designed to assist mining personnel involved with the design and implementation of mine ground support. Mine managers, mining engineers, mine geologists, mining supervisors and operators, suppliers of mine support equipment, mining contractors and mines inspectors may benefit from attending the course.

Ground Support 2013Seventh International Symposium on Ground Support in Mining and Underground Construction Proceedings13–15 May 2013 | Perth, Western Australia

These proceedings offer a very diverse sample of world practices in ground support with contributions from 12 countries. Although a significant proportion of the papers are concerned with underground metal mines, the proceedings are also dedicated to ground support in coal mining, and civil underground workings.
