Numerical analysis of underground tunnel deformation: a case study of Midroc Lega-Dembi gold mine

Abstract Undertakings in underground mining are often complicated, particularly in situations where geotechnical conditions are not favorable. This study investigates the collapse of tunnels at the Lega-Dembi gold mine in Southern Ethiopia, an area characterized by weak talc formations. The persiste...
