8/1/1997 - Conference papersDemonstration of a technique developed at the Spokane Research Center that allows the user to create a finite-element model of a two-dimensional section of an underground mine in a relatively straightforward manner.
-
7/1/1997 - Technology NewsThe analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability (ARMPS) computer program was developed in 1995 and has been widely accepted by the mining community. A Windows version of ARMPS is now available. It features simplified data input, graphics, and an expande...

5/1/1995 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsPapers presented at a USBM technology transfer seminar describe the causes of violent material failure in U.S. mines, measurement techniques for monitoring events that result in violent failure, and mitigation techniques for controlling failure.
-
2/1/1995 - Technology NewsThe objective of this work is to develop a comprehensive, practical method for designing longwall gate entries that considers coal pillar size, mine roof quality, and artificial support in an easy-to-use computer program.
-
1/1/1994 - NIOSH/USBM numbered publicationsA computer program called Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability (ARMPS) is field tested and refined in order to estimate abutment pressures developed during pillaring. It can be successfully employed to predict pillar line stability.

2/1/1992 - Book chaptersThis presents a review of past and present United States mining practices for optimum design to minimize coal bumps.
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsA U.S. Bureau of Mines investigation of longwall panel layouts to maximize coal recovery and minimize interactive problems in multiple-seam operations.
-
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.
-
1/1/1987 - Information CircularsInformation was collected at 5 bump-prone mines. Among the findings, two geologic conditions have been found to cause bumps in the eastern U.S.: relatively thick overburden and extremely rigid strata immediately above and below the mine coalbed.
-
1/1/1976 - Reports of InvestigationsExamination of several coalbeds in Walker County, Alabama, Cambria, Greene, and Fayette Counties, Pennsylvania, and Caleigh and Wyoming Counties, West Virginia, indicates that cleat orientations are similar throughout a vertical sequence of strata. Stud...
