Overbreak is a surplus blasted area of rock beyond the theoretical contour in a blasting activity that can occur in any kind of underground development method. Otherwise, underbreak is rock remaining(a minus blasted area) within a specific blasting perimeter that should have been thrown out by the blast and needed a secondary blasting or excavation. 2, record 1, English, - underbreak

A method of mining using a system of haulageways beneath the block of ore, which has had its top surface exposed by the removal of the overburden. Over the haulageways are chutes that extend up to the surface, and are spaced at intervals of 50 ft... or at any other convenient distance. The excavation of the ore begins at the top of the chute, and broken ore is removed by loading it out from the chutes into cars on the haulage level. 1, record 4, English, - glory%2Dhole%20system

A method of stoping in which the walls and back of the excavation are supported by a system of interlocking framed timbers(square set). A square set of timber consists of a vertical post and two horizontal members set at mutually right angles. The mining process is slow and only enough ore is excavated to provide room for installation of each successive set of timber. The stopes are usually mined out in floors or horizontal panels, and the sets of each successive are framed into the top of the preceding floor. 3, record 7, English, - square%2Dset%20stoping

Pour protéger le terrassier dans le puits, les parois verticales sont étayées. Il existe trois principales méthodes d'étayage, qui sont : (1) le boisage horizontal, (2) la méthode de Chicago, utilisant des madriers verticaux maintenus par des cerces métalliques, et (3) la méthode de Gow, employant des cylindres d'acier télescopiques [...] 1, record 14, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20de%20Gow

A continental method of shaft sinking through sand which is water-bearing. The shaft is formed by boring in stages, increasing in sizes from the pilot hole of about 4 feet in diameter to the final excavation size. Once the shaft is bored, mud flush circulation continues while the lining is lowered. The lining consists of two steel cylinders, one within the other, and the annular space is filled with concrete. The cylinders are lowered into the shaft and 10-foot lengths are added and welded in position at the shaft top. 1, record 15, English, - Honigmann%20process

Le procédé Honigmann permet de réaliser, jusqu'à 500 m de profondeur, des forages dont le diamètre dépasse 6 m. Il a été utilisé, pour la première fois, en 1942 en Allemagne, par la «Rheinische Braunkohlen-Tiefban G.m.b.M.» pour le fonçage dans les sables boulants du puits I de la concession «Union 103» [...]. La méthode consiste à forer à l'eau lourde des trous de diamètre de plus en plus grand, chacun d'eux atteignant la profondeur désirée. Le forage initial de 0,70 m de diamètre est ainsi successivement élargi à 2 m, 3,5 m, 5 m et 6,15 m. L'outil de perforation entraîné par une table de rotation comporte, suivant la nature des terrains, quatre ou six branches sur lesquelles sont fixés des couteaux amovibles. Au-dessus de lui, un tambour métallique sert de guide [...]. La grande particularité du procédé se trouve dans la circulation de boue qui [...] se fait au moyen d'un émulseur disposé dans la partie supérieure des tiges, système qui convient très bien pour les élargissements successifs, les débris tombant dans le forage en cours d'élargissement. 2, record 15, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20Honigmann
