Researchers Brad Seymour and Mike Raffaldi are recipients of Best Paper honors from the Seattle American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) symposium. The papers were selected by the symposium's technical program committee, and the recognition comes with invitations to submit enhanced versions of the papers to a special ARMA issue of Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering journal.
Brad Seymour received the honor for his paper, "Long-term Stability of a Large Undercut Span Beneath Cemented Rockfill at the Turquoise Ridge Mine," and Mike Raffaldi won for his work, "Cemented Paste Backfill Geomechanics at the Lucky Friday Mine.”
