Numerical analysis of lateral earth pressure coefficient in inclined mine stopes

Investigating analytical solutions to determine stresses for mine stopes with inclined walls is essential for the design of stopes in the mining industry, contributing to the prevention of serious accidents. Two variables in the analytical formula used for computing the vertical stresses in mine stopes with inclined walls play a vital role in the design. The two variables are the coefficient of lateral earth pressure, Kα, and the ratio η. Here,...
