Total and Effective Stresses in Backfilled Stopes during the Fill Placement on a Pervious Base for Barricade Design
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Backfill is increasingly used in underground mines worldwide. Its successful application depends on the stability of the barricades built at the base of the stopes to hold the backfill in place, which in turn depends on the knowledge of the pore water pressure (PWP) and stresses during, or shortly after, the placement of the slurried backfill. Until now, self-weight consolidation is usually considered for the estimation of the PWP. There is no solution available to evaluate the total and effective stresses during, and shortly after, the filling operation. As excess PWP can simultaneously be generated (increased) and dissipated (decreased) during the backfilling operation, effective stresses can develop when the filling rate is low and/or hydraulic conductivity of the backfill is high. The arching effect has to be considered to evaluate the effective and total stresses in the backfilled stopes. In this paper, a pseudo-analytical solution is proposed to evaluate the effective and total stresses in backfilled stopes during the backfill deposition on a permeable base, by considering the self-weight consolidation and arching effect. The proposed solution is validated by numerical results obtained by Plaxis2D. A few sample applications of the proposed solution are shown.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
