Optimization of Stope Structural Parameters Based on Mathews Stability Graph Probability Model

Figure 5

Adjustment factors for determining the Mathews stability number: (a) A (stress factor) (b) B (joint orientation factor), and (c) C (surface orientation factor). σc is the uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock and σi is the induced compressive stress.
