8/1/2000 - Information CircularsProvides a detailed description of a data collection instrument used to profile the fire prevention and response capabilities of a mine site.
-
5/1/2000 - Information CircularsA scientific study of human behavior during an escape from a fire in an effort to understand and derive benefits for design, engineering and safety efforts.
-
1/1/1999 - Information CircularsThis work identified the most important variables contributing to coal bumps. These are (1) mechanical properties of strata, including local yield characteristics of a mine roof and floor, (2) gate pillar factors of safety, (3) roof beam thickness, join...
-
6/1/1998 - Information CircularsA collection of 15 papers from leading international ground control specialists. The papers address the entire range of issues associated with coal pillars and have a decidedly practical flavor.

1/1/1995 - Information CircularsAn analysis of 164 underground coal mine fire incidents occurring in the United States during the 15 years from 1978 through 1992.
-
1/1/1994 - Information CircularsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted a worldwide literature review of bleederless ventilation practices to evaluate their use as a spontaneous combustion control measure in U.S. coal mines. This report describes the types of ventilation systems used throu...
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsAn investigation of the combustion products of typical materials found in underground mines. The results are combined with previous analyses to estimate relative toxicities, product levels and detectability of smoldering mine combustibles.
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsReviews the mechanics of rib failure and the relationship of coal mine geology and pillar constraint to rib instability. Strategies for choosing an effective method of rib support are considered and various rib support methods are discussed.
-
1/1/1990 - Information CircularsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines evaluated product-of-combustion characteristics of combustible materials used in coal mining in experiments conducted in an intermediate-scale fire tunnel, and evaluated each material's effectiveness for mine fire detection.
-
11/1/1988 - Information CircularsBased on a comprehensive data base of mining accidents, a computerized catastrophe model has been developed by the Bureau of Mines which systematically links individual psychological, group behavioral, and mine environmental variables with other acciden...
