1/1/1993 - Reports of InvestigationsIn situ stresses are important input data for the design of safe, stable stope layouts and extraction sequences. In situ stresses were measured at the Homestake Mine, Lead, SD, using overcoring on hollow inclusion cells and borehole deformation gauges.

1/1/1992 - Information CircularsReviews the mechanics of rib failure and the relationship of coal mine geology and pillar constraint to rib instability. Strategies for choosing an effective method of rib support are considered and various rib support methods are discussed.

1/1/1992 - Reports of InvestigationsThis U.S. Bureau of Mines report summarizes a study of large-scale strata response to longwall mining at a western U.S. coal mine. This study utilized surface and subsurface measurements, geologic mapping, in situ stress measurements, and pressure cell...

8/1/1990 - Conference papersThis paper describes research designed to quantify the behavior of a particular size abutment pillar prone to burst or bump (local terminology). This research has attempted to construct the stress and convergence profiles of the pillar.

1/1/1990 - Conference papersThis U.S. Bureau of Mines paper discusses the importance of an interface slip mechanism between the coalbed and the surrounding strata in controlling the extent and pattern of stresses and deformations in a coal pillar.
