abstract: "<p class="ql-align-justify">The accompanying Python notebooks were developed for the Master’s thesis titled "Unveiling Creep Phenomena and Pillar Stability in Valkenburg Limestone Mines: A Holistic Approach." This research aimed to understand the long-term creep deformation and stability of calcarenite pillars in the Valkenburg limestone mines. In the notebooks, environmental and structural data, such as temperature, precipitation, and pillar dimensions, which were&nbsp;collected via an advanced fibre-optic monitoring system are taken into account. In the notebooks, LSTM and ARIMA models are implemented to capture the complex, non-linear interactions between the examined factors and the pillar behaviour over time. Additionally, a separate notebook contains calculations for correlation analysis and safety factors calculations, contributing to a detailed assessment of the conditions impacting pillar stability.</p>"
