Assessing soil stability for underground mining

In my recent project, we encountered unexpected challenges with soil stability during excavations for a new mine shaft. It’s fascinating how crucial soil analysis is in determining the structural integrity of underground support systems. I’m interested in how others conduct their stability analyses and what methods you find most effective in mitigating risks. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
