A Numerical Model for the Compressive Behavior of Granular Backfill Based on Experimental Data and Application in Surface Subsidence

Granular backfill is generally confined in stopes to bear underground pressure in metal mines. Its mechanical behavior under lateral confinement is vital for controlling stope wall behavior and estimating surface subsidence in backfill mining operations. In this paper, an experimental apparatus has...
