8/1/2002 - Conference papersSeveral remote-sensing technologies are being evaluated as tools to monitor slopes for hazards and to assess slope stability.
-
8/1/2002 - Conference papersThe goal of the research described here is to develop a stress monitoring system that will provide immediate information to mine managers for making daily safety decisions as areas of poor ground are mined through.
-
8/1/2002 - Conference papersSlope stability accidents are a leading cause of fatalities at U.S. surface mines. NIOSH is conducting research to reduce these fatalities. This paper presents some of the research and potential new technologies for slope monitoring and design.

6/1/2002 - Conference papersThis publication examines a procedure for measuring the response time of machine-mounted methane monitors
-
7/1/2001 - Conference papersWhen the Washington National Cathedral showed signs of continuing differential settlement in the early 1990s, the U.S. Bureau of Mines was asked for assistance in monitoring the massive towers. This paper discusses the major findings of the study.
-
6/1/2001 - Conference papersThis publication develops criteria for selecting the best machine locations for monitoring methane and gives recommendations for revising methane action levels for alternative sampling locations.
-
10/1/1999 - Conference papersA Mine Safety and Health Administration-permissible load rate monitoring system was developed.
-
3/1/1999 - Conference papersTo help mitigate the potential for falls-of-ground injuries to underground stone miners, NIOSH developed the Roof Monitoring Safety System (RMSS) to aid in monitoring dangerous levels of roof beam deflection.
-
1/1/1999 - Conference papersThe process of drilling and bolting the roof is currently one of the most dangerous jobs in underground mining, resulting in about 1,000 accidents with injuries each year in the United States. To increase the safety of underground miners, researchers f...
