The Dannemora mine has been in production since (at least) 1481 until its first closure in 1992. The fact that the mine is very old, but also has been closed for some time, has influenced the infrastructure and mine planning during the earlier era of mining.
Objectives of the training:
•Understand the FLAC2D/ FLAC3D numerical approach and the types ofproblems it can solve•Know how to manipulate the FLAC2D/ FLAC3D user interface to access andinterpret results•Follow the recommended solution procedure to simulate a simple case
Itasca is pleased to announce that the 6th Itasca Symposium on Applied Numerical Modeling will take place June 3 - 6, 2024, in Toronto, Canada.
Miguel Fuenzalida (M.A.Sc., B.Eng.) is a Principal Geomechanics Engineer at Itasca Consulting Group, a consulting and software firm across the mining, civil engineering, and energy industries. He holds a Bachelor’s degree and a Master of Science in Mining Engineering from the University of Chile. He has received the “Juan Bruggen” Best Graduate of the Class of 2010 Mining Engineering Award by the Mining Engineering Institute of Chile (IIMCh). Based in Minneapolis, USA, Miguel provides consulting services to underground mining by applying numerical modeling to sequencing, stability, ground support, and mining-induced seismicity. Miguel has extensive experience in sublevel, block and panel caving projects—from concept to feasibility level—and cave mines in North America, South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia where he has specialized in undercut and extraction level design, draw scheduling, forecasting of caveability, fragmentation, recovery, infrastructure stability, and surface subsidence. He has participated in several mining and rock mechanics conferences and has been part of international collaborative research consortiums such as Mass Mining Technology (MMT) and Caving2040, focused on critical reviews of conventional caving design approaches, collation of common caving practices, and advancing the understanding of caving fundamentals. He is currently a member of the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) and the Society of Mining Engineering (SME).
