This report relates specifically to analytic predictions of near-field effects, but includes the overburden stress from the far field. The numerical simulations described herein utilize a discrete element model code, RBM, developed by Peter Cundall at the University of Minnesota, for the block caving analysis, coupled to a small-strain, linear elastic, explicit finite difference code, LESS, developed by Ronald Hofmann of Science Applications, Incorporated, for the continuum beyond the region of block caving.
