...Amit Patwardhan; Ramin Karim Purpose In underground mining, geostatic pressure results in drift surface deformation. To ensure the stability and safety of the mining environment, a so-called ground support systems are commonly used. Today, there are various types of ground support systems...

... (Majumdar and Bhushan, 1991). Hence, a solution for the deformation of an equivalent surface generated using the Cantor structure can be modified for the problem at hand. The bodies treated in this work will be assumed to be isotropic and homogeneous, and obey linear force‐displacement laws. The yield...
