Due to the evolving nature of the underground geotechnical mining industry and the necessity to have the most current information, the need for this handbook is long overdue. The first edition of the Mine Fill handbook was published in 2005 and over 850 copies have been sold to date. Co-editors Professor Yves Potvin, Australian Centre for Geomechanics, and Dr Ryan Veenstra, Gold Fields, together with world-wide mine fill experts, have written a new and comprehensive technical publication to examine the evolution of mine fill practice over the last two decades. This handbook seeks to advance the safe, efficient, and economic application of fill within the mining community. This publication is a valuable reference for mining practitioners, early career geotechnical engineers, operating and regulatory professionals, consultants, academics, researchers and other mine fill peers. This comprehensive publication explores both the theoretical and practical aspects of mine fill application with a range of examples and themes and covers fundamentals, operation, and design.
