This thesis is based on a case study of the Kiirunavaara sublevel cave (SLC) mine. It focuses on footwall stability and damage development in the mining infrastructure on mine scale. Damage to the infrastructure is mappable for the full height of the footwall by access through decommissioned infrastructure associated with earlier mining stages. Damages range from pure structurally controlled failures (wedge failures) in the upper part of the footwall to fracture growth through intact rock combined with micro‑seismic emissions at the active mining depth. The thesis addresses four distinct research questions; (i) What are the predominant failure mechanisms for the Kiirunavaara footwall? (ii) What is the role of confinement on the damage devel...
