Module Docs
mXrap is a geotechnical analysis software platform in which modules of apps can be developed. The mXrap team and some of our users develop their own apps.
The modules available in mXrap can be broadly summarised under the following areas of interest:
Mine 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
Enables input and analysis of geotechnical data including borehole, mapping, stress measurement and rock testing data for comprehensive database building.
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
Creates clean models for input into numerical modelling packages along with visualisation of the results, and other monitoring data.
Inrush
Allows users to visualise data from multiple sources for the purpose of quantifying and visualising inrush risk on a block cave footprint.
Ground Support
Tools for designing and visualising ground support systems for underground excavation.
Surface Monitoring
Tools for importing and evaluating prism data, commonly utilised for tracking ground movements.
Backfill
Assists in calculating paste fill volumes, bund capacities, fill strength requirements, and reticulation paths. Includes a strength testing database with curing models.
Utilities
A collection of tools designed to convert between formats and generally make tasks easier.
Research Projects
mXrap serves as a technology transfer platform for ongoing research initiatives. The following projects utilise mXrap to develop specialised apps for both internal research use and knowledge transfer to industry partners:
Active Projects
- Ground Support Systems Optimisation - Developing tools for optimising ground support design and implementation
- Stope Reconciliation - Creating applications for improved stope design and performance analysis
Development History
The mXrap platform has evolved over several years, with many applications tracing their origins to the ACG's foundational Mine Seismicity and Rockburst Risk Management project.
