Analysis of Strainbursts in the Sudbury Region and Numerical Modelling of Destress Blasting

The occurrences of strainbursting in underground mining have long presented a risk to workers underground. The investigation of these events occurred in the Sudbury basin between 2013 and 2015, yielding results in the nature of observations, numerical models, and a database of events. Included in the data are videos of borehole observations, instrumentation data, code to replicate the numerical models used in the analysis of destress blasting, and a database containing the author's interpretation of many strainburst event reports. All of the data contained was used in the author's Master's of Applied Science thesis, \"The Analysis of Strainbursts in the Sudbury Region And Numerical of Blasting\". The findings from this research and associated data set contained herein, will add to the continuous process of improving the understand and prevention of strainbursts in mines.
