Processing and analysis of data
Ground Control methods can be considered to comprise of:
Ground support or elements that support the perimeter of the
excavationGround reinforcement or elements that act within the rock
mass oftenproviding an active restraining force.
Support and reinforcement can also comprise any measure that
maintainsthe integrity of a mine opening for the required time
period, i.e. fromminutes to years. Reinforcement can also be
subdivided further into:
Passive; in which the rock mass has to move in order that the
reinforcingelement can develop its required load, such as timber
sets.Active; where the reinforcing element places an active load on
the rockmass from the time of installation such as a tensioned rock
bolt
