Integrating the effect of abutments in estimating the average vertical stress of elastic hard rock pillars by combining numerical modelling and artificial neural networks

Estimating average vertical pillar stresses is a critical step in designing room-and-pillar mines. Several analytical methods can be used to estimate the vertical stresses acting on the pillars. However, the present analytical methods fail to adequately account for the influence of abutments on the...
