Abstract

Cases of seismic blast-type events have been observed in at least a couple of mines in South America where similar stress state characteristics and excavation geometry (workings and developments) have been observed. 

The objective of this work is to explore the causes of these events. For this purpose, different scenarios will be modeled to evaluate the influence of different factors, such as geometry, stress state and existence of faults or dikes.
