Abstract: Goafs formed in mine-out areas threat the underground mines owing to possibilities of rock burst and surface subsidence. This paper aims to discuss the feasibility, design and construction of waste rock backfill in abandoned stopes. Based on goafs distribution and stabilities in the White Bull Mine, rock backfill system with a total volume of 362,000 m³ in 8 gobs was designed and carried out. The system included technologically and economically feasible stopes, conveying equipments of tramcars, rock transfer by electric rakes, haulage network and mining workings. Field effects showed that rock backfill was applicable to control potential hazards. With rock filling, goaf utilization rates ranged from 60% to 70%, which helped to control adjacent rock movement, eliminate rock burst and surface subsidence. Additionally, backfill construction reduced the lift and transportation costs of rocks by about 50%, which further lowered the land usage of surface dumping.

Abstract: In this paper, the technology based on site investigation adequately, through reading, analysis and comprehensive vast literature of shield lining segments, installed spelling were analyzed, and the conclusion that some valuable conclusions. Summarizes the construction process of shield technology, and introduces the earth pressure balance type shield construction machine structure and working principle. Shield technology is with modern transportation, underground engineering, mining, water conservancy projects and municipal construction needs and developed advanced tunnel construction technology. With China's urban underground transportation facilities, the quickening of the process of shield technology has become the hotspot of domestic engineering.
