8/1/2003 - Conference papersThe advance-and-relieve method benefits from lateral destressing. Numerical modeling proved useful in studying the basic mechanics of lateral relief while investigating the sensitivity of results to different parameters using controlled experiments.
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersA deep longwall coal mine was instrumented with a 3-D microseismic system to help determine the exact strata mechanics associated with rock failure, redistribution of stress and associated gob formation from the longwall.
-
12/1/2001 - Conference papersTechnology and realistic training simulations have been identified for the general workforce and mine emergency responders. Laser lights and lifelines were beneficial in leading personnel to safety and out of the mine in smoke-filled passageways.
-
8/1/2001 - Conference papersThis paper introduces warning signs of slope instability so operators are better able to recognize hazards. The most common slope monitoring equipment and practical methods of installation are discussed as well as the limitations of these systems.
-
8/1/2001 - Conference papersA statistical study of roof bolt performance was conducted in 37 U.S. mines. Analysis of the results led to guidelines for making preliminary estimates for bolt length, capacity, and pattern to improve roof stability in difficult conditions.
-
8/1/2001 - Conference papersThis paper discusses misconceptions about how roof supports perform and factors that impact their performance. The paper is limited to a discussion of secondary roof support systems and powered roof supports such as longwall shields.
-
8/1/2001 - Conference papersFire is a major concern for those who work in underground mines. This paper focuses on responders' preparedness for fire.
-
7/1/2001 - Conference papersIn Utah, 3-D, full waveform, autonomous microseismic arrays were placed underground and on the surface of a longwall coal mine with overburden exceeding 750 m. Overall 13,000 seismic events, including a magnitude 4.2 event, were detected and located.
-
7/1/2001 - Conference papersOutlines the concepts used to correlate rock failure with microseismic events and presents examples of microseismic monitoring together with associated computer modeling of the rock failure from several mine sites.
-
3/1/2001 - Conference papersAn analysis of roof bolting tasks was conducted at a mine to identify early warning signs of cumulative trauma. Health and safety risk factors were identified and recommendations to reduce cumulative trauma exposure were provided.
