Evaluation and applications of empirical approaches and numerical modeling of an underground limestone quarry with room and pillar design

摘要: The deepening of marble quarries with rich CaCO3 based reserves in Turkey brings along multiple problems. steep and high slopes due to deep open pit geometry, the transportation distance within pit, problems transportation, narrowing down active working area while going deeper complexity organization are just a few mentioned room pillar method -an underground mining method- ease production is set motion resolve encountered difficulties selective geometry. A limestone quarry Antalya-Finike vicinity southern applying both methods investigated by numerical modeling empirical formulas. realized situation interpreted compared data gathered formulas results analysis. necessity resize pillars revealed as result field works, laboratory studies light geometry observed deformations ceilings pillars.
