The research aims to assess mining-induced surface deformation using 3-D numerical modeling in an underground mine.
Developed 3-D numerical models for various mining states using geological and geotechnical data.
Analyzed strain and displacement in different directions over current and future mining phases.
Validated the model against Total Station monitoring data to assess deformation.
Maximum surface strain observed was 2.41 mm/m in the XX direction, with a displacement of 0.003 m in the X direction.
Incremental deformation primarily concentrated in disturbed zones, with minor changes in less affected areas.
The modeling framework aids in identifying sites for subsidence monitoring and slope stability assessments.
