Abstract
It is now a common practice in mining to use backfilling as a ground control measure. The design of backfilled
stopes requires that the interaction that develops at the interface between the fill material and surrounding rock
mass be evaluated. In this paper, the authors present analytical and numerical results from calculations performed
