8/1/2005 - Conference papersMonitoring technology and techniques can provide a means to warn of hazardous roof fall conditions. Measuring roof deflection is the most common method of detecting roof instabilities.
-
6/1/2005 - Conference papersThis study used microseismic emissions to help identify three local rock failure processes. It was also shown that analysis of microseismic emissions can aid in assessing the degree of instability associated with these local rock failure processes.
-
8/1/2004 - Conference papersMore that 700 microseismic emissions were collected from two underground limestone mine roof fall areas in southwestern PA. Results reveal much about the behavior of strata prone to failure and allow for the construction of hazard maps.
-
2/1/2004 - Conference papersThis paper examines the capabilities of convergence and microseismic monitoring systems to better understand roof rock failure mechanics and anticipate falls. Understanding these techniques is critical in developing effective ground control strategy.

2/1/2002 - Conference papersNIOSH has developed an automated PC-based seismic event (induced earthquake) monitoring system for use in mine ground control studies. This paper describes system design philosophy, hardware/software components, installation examples, and results.
-
12/1/2001 - Conference papersAn automated PC-network-based seismic data acquisition and processing system has been developed by NIOSH for use in mine safety studies. Several systems have been constructed and deployed in the field for testing and application. These systems are now b...

7/1/2001 - Conference papersTo study bump mechanisms, conditions in the vicinity of a deep longwall mining face in bump-prone strata were monitored using three discrete systems in an effort to increase understanding of mining-induced stress redistribution and bump potential.
-
6/1/1999 - Conference papersVarious methods of monitoring slip movements on bedding planes, as well as examination of rock burst damage in stopes, suggests that rock bursts in the Lucky Friday Miner are closely associated with these movements.
-
8/1/1998 - Conference papersA comprehensive survey of mine seismicity a rock bursting during development of two sublevels at the Lucky Friday Mine, Mullan, ID, was conducted to better define rock failure mechanisms and sources of ground control hazards.
-
1/1/1997 - Conference papersRock masses in deep-level mines are subject to high stresses, which can result in unexpected failure of rock into mined-out openings. Personnel from two research centers of the former U.S. Bureau of Mines, Spokane and Twin Cities, investigated a rock b...
