Abstract: The subject of dynamic support design has seen various methods applied across different mining operations over the years. This paper summarises dynamic support design approaches applied at 3 different West Australian mine sites over the last decade. The first 2 design cases will discuss the progression from design methods outlined in the Canadian Rockburst Support Handbook (Kaiser et al. 1996), through to the application of updates proposed by Scott et al. (2008) and Potvin & Wesseloo (2013). The final design case will outline a method used to apply design concepts from deformation-based support design (Kaiser & Moss 2022) to a sitebased design methodology aiming to simplify the assessment of dynamic support demand in an extreme demand case.
