Structural Geology Guidelines
Structural Geology Guidelines Manual for use in burst-prone underground mines
CEMI is proud to announce the completion of the Structural Geology Guidelines for Aiding Characterization of Deep Mining Fault Behaviour. This comprehensive manual, prepared in partnership with Golder Associates and Queen's University, is available for purchase.
This manual is intended to provide guidelines for improving current levels of structural geologic data collection and evaluation in rockburst-prone areas in underground mines. It should help geologists and engineers in these mines (or planned mines) to better work together to understand and interpret rock mass conditions associated with faulting and fault slip type seismicity and the impact they can have on underground mine design and planning.
It is anticipated that the guidelines will be primarily applicable in two key areas:
- In known structurally complex, high stress, rockburst-prone mine settings; and
- In active and/or planned mines where rockbursting or disruptive seismic events are not currently known but which, because of the geologic environment and/or mining depth, could eventually experience potentially dangerous energy release conditions.
