2/1/2005 - Conference papersThis analysis will indicate safe following distances for haul trucks and other heavy equipment to avoid overexposure to respirable dust from the lead haul truck.
-
6/1/2001 - Conference papersA series of controlled laboratory tests were conducted in a test stand simulating shield dust entrainment to evaluate changes in airborne respirable dust levels at different air velocities.
-
2/1/2001 - Conference papersLaboratory test to simulate dust liberation during shield movement were conducted.
