7/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper makes use of numerical models to examine the interaction between typical pillar systems and the surrounding rock mass for weak and strong geological conditions at various spans and depths of cover.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper discusses factors that could result in a potential undetected dust explosion hazard, when using current dust sampling procedures, in an area that otherwise appears to be adequately protected with rock dust.
-
6/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper presents a mathematical model based on the conservation of mass principle describing the flow of air (nitrogen and oxygen), methane, and carbon dioxide into and out of a sealed atmosphere and time-dependent changes in gas concentration.
-
2/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper provides a brief historical overview of full-scale mine explosion research conducted primarily at the USBM, now the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper seeks to encourage scientific discussion among international peers since preventing explosions within sealed areas is of interest to underground coal operators and regulators.
-
11/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper presents a summary of some of the mine fire research and provides an overview of the next phase of the NIOSH mine fire research program.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersThe load-deformation characteristics and the load capacity of welded wire screen (roof screen) used to control ground fall were evaluated in the laboratory in a specially built test frame.
-
9/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper summarizes recent accomplishments in a research program that is addressing mine fire prevention, detection, management, and suppression, and provides an overview of the next phase of the NIOSH mine fire research program.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThe results of field tests to understand how ventilation and gob characteristics affect the spontaneous heating process causing spontaneous combustion fires in longwall or worked-out gob areas are presented.
-
9/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper reviews how simultaneous application of three basic elements reduces the methane explosion hazard at coal mine working faces: (1) adequate ventilation, (2) regular monitoring of gas concentrations, and (3) elimination of ignition sources.
