This thesis examines rock mass characteristics of the Bousquet 2 mine, and reviews ground reinforcement practices applied to tunnel and stope hanging-wall support. The effectiveness and suitability of the installed support elements is examined through numerical modelling techniques and instrumentation. / The second part of the thesis examines mechanisms influencing stope hanging-wall stability. Through a case study incorporating hanging-wall instrumentation, numerical modelling, and laser survey of the mined stope profiles, the extent of hanging-wall over-break in both primary and secondary stopes is studied.
