• Update on Mining Health and Safety Research
  1/1/1996 - Conference papers
  This address covers the areas of assessing the current status of the Mining Health and Safety Research Program and outlining the need and direction for continued research.
• Proceedings: Mechanics and Mitigation of Violent Failure in Coal and Hard-Rock Mines
  5/1/1995 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  Papers presented at a USBM technology transfer seminar describe the causes of violent material failure in U.S. mines, measurement techniques for monitoring events that result in violent failure, and mitigation techniques for controlling failure.
• Gel Sealants for the Mitigation of Spontaneous Heatings in Coal Mines
  1/1/1995 - Reports of Investigations
  Reports on a USBM study of three gel sealant systems used to minimize air ingress to areas in the mine that can undergo self-heatings and specifically mines that sustain both floor heave and self-heatings.
• Occurrence and Remediation of Coal Mine Bumps: A Historical Review
  1/1/1995 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  One of the most difficult, longstanding engineering problems associated with coal mining is the catastrophic failure of cog mine structures known as bumps. For more than 70 years, researchers and practitioners have assembled a wealth of technical info.
• U.S. Bureau of Mines Technology Applicable to Disaster Response, Urban Search And Rescue
  4/1/1994 - Conference papers
  Since 1910, the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) has investigated practical ways of dealing with the consequences of major fires and explosions in underground mines.
• Technology News 430 - Translucent Face Partition Reduces Longwall Worker's Dust Exposure
  3/1/1994 - Technology News
  The USBM's current approach to air splitting consists of using a polyester mesh partition to overcome the visibility problems of a solid barrier.
• Bureau of Mines Publications and Articles, 1992-1993
  1/1/1994 - Catalogs and indexes, NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  This edition describes reports and articles published during calendar years 1992 and 1993. It supplements similar reports from previous years, back to 1910.
• Improving Safety at Small Underground Mines: Proceedings: Bureau of Mines Technology Transfer Seminar
  1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publications
  A volume of papers from the USBM focused on preventing specific types of mining accidents--ones associated with materials handling (primarily back injuries), equipment maintenance, improper machine guarding, and ground failure during retreat mining.
• Facility for Melting Residues From Municipal Waste Combustion: Design Criteria and Description of Equipment
  1/1/1993 - Reports of Investigations
  The U.S. Bureau of Mines, under a Memorandum of Agreement with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), established design criteria for a facility to melt residues from municipal waste combustion.
• Behavior of Simulated Longwall Gob Material
  1/1/1993 - Reports of Investigations
  This report presents results of a U.S. Bureau of Mines study of longwall gob material. The objective of this work was to determine material stiffness properties of the gob for use in numerical models or rock mass response to longwall mining.
