Apps – mXrap

mXrap Apps

mXrap is a geotechnical analysis software platform in which suites of apps can be developed. The ACG team and some of our users develop their own apps.

The suites available in mXrap can be broadly summarised under the following areas of interest:

Mining Induced Seismicity

Tools for analysing and interpreting mining-induced seismicity, as well as managing seismic hazards.

Stope Reconciliation and Prediction

For quick and easy reconciliation of mined surveys and design shapes. Uses machine learning to predict stope geometry and performance.

Rock Mass Data Analyser

Allows users to input and analyse various geotechnical data, which aids in building a detailed database that includes borehole, mapping, stress measurement and rock testing data.

Inspections and Data Entry

A data entry application designed for offline use on tablet devices, customisable to meet the specific needs of each site.

Instrumentation

Tools for importing and evaluating various formats of extensometer and in situ stress data.

Caving

Integrates various cave monitoring methods to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the activities within their cave mine.

Numerical Modelling Integration

Facilitates the creation of clean models for input into numerical modelling packages along with visualisation of the results of numerical models along with other monitoring data.

Damage Mapping

Enables users to damage map their underground excavations using a tablet device while offline.

Surface Monitoring

Tools for importing and evaluating prism data, commonly utilised for tracking ground movements.

Paste Backfill

Designed to assist engineers in calculating paste fill volumes and bund capacities, fill strength requirements and reticulation paths along with hosting a strength testing database with calculated curing models.

Utilities

A collection of tools designed to convert between formats and generally make tasks easier.

The following research projects are using mXrap as a technology transfer tool and apps will be developed under the research project for both internal use and for transferring the research outcomes to sponsor sites as useful software:

Many of these apps have been developed over several years, with a number of them having roots in the ACG’s Mine Seismicity and Rockburst Risk Management project.
