With reference to Problems 5 and 6, suppose the pillars are 13.7 × 13.7 m and that a size effect exists such that Cp = C1 (0.78 + 0.22Wp/Hp). If the mining height changes from 9.14 to 36.6 m, as a sill between two ore horizons is removed, what is the resulting pillar safety factor, all other parameters remaining the same? What is the pillar safety factor if the size effect is neglected?
