5/1/2006 - Reports of InvestigationsAn underground metal mine study assessed the effects of diesel emissions control technologies (such as DPF systems, diesel oxidation catalytic converter, and biodiesel blends) on concentrations of diesel particulate matter and gases in mine air.
-
4/1/2006 - Technology NewsThis publication is intended to promote awareness of float coal dust explosion hazards in the mining industry and offers a float coal dust mitigation technique.
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersHighwall stability remains a major concern during highwall mining. Geologic structure (hillseams) and pillar stability are the two major factors affecting highwall stability.
-
1/1/2005 - Information CircularsThis report deals with the preparedness of miners to respond to underground fires. It is intended to aid the mining industry in understanding the various roles of emergency responders and the training techniques used to increase their skill levels. The ...
-
12/1/2004 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA commercial version of the BOM impactor, called the DPM Cassette, was recently introduced by SKC®. Tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the DPM Cassette for measuring diesel-source elemental carbon in the presence of coal dust.
-
11/1/2004 - Information CircularsThis report analyzes mine fires for all U.S. underground and surface metal/nonmetal mining categories during 1990-2001 by state and six successive 2-year time periods.
-
8/1/2004 - Conference papersThis article discusses highwall stability, reasons for early pull out of highwall miner holes, and geotechnical engineering and planning factors, as well as operating practices to improve highwall stability and minimize the risk of a trapped miner.
-
8/1/2004 - Conference papersThis paper focuses on a computer simulation used to model roof behavior and rock bolt interaction in a collaborative study of ground behavior, reinforcement performance, and stress redistribution in a coal mine entry under severe horizontal stress.
-
6/1/2004 - Conference papersThe point estimation method for the probability of sliding is efficient and expedites slope stability simulation routines in NIOSH software to stochastically describe rock slope behavior and assist engineers in catch bench design for large slopes.
-
2/1/2004 - Conference papersThe primary goal of this project was to obtain detailed data on the interaction between the mine roof and the support elements for use in modeling studies.
