Abstract

Changes in stress and increased muckpiles in the block caving method can cause instability in the pillar. The effect of changing stress and increasing muckpiles will cause an increase in displacement and yielded zone in the production tunnel. Based on the results of convergence measurements, on panels 26 and 27 West Drawpoint 43-44, stable results are obtained with displacement speeds of 0.0225 mm / hour and 0.0271 mm / hour using the stability criteria of Zhenxiang. Based on the analysis of the potential squeezing from the actual displacement measurement, Panel 26 and 27 West Drawpoint 43-44 are indicated to have severe squeezing problems with% strain values of 2.51% and 2.56%. Based on the results of the displacement analysis using Phase2 software, on Panel 26 and 27 West Drawpoint 43-44, the% horizontal strain values were 3.36% and 4.11% (severe squeezing problems) and% vertical strain was 3.9% ( \severe squeezing problems) and 5.045% (very severe squeezing problems) with a HOD height of 270 meters (Grasberg bottom pit). Based on the results of numerical analysis, the yielded zone will continue to increase until it enters the 10 meter HOD with the assumption that in the 10 meter HOD phase the yield area has reached a stable point.
