10/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper gives the results of 4 case studies concerning the interaction between polyurethane (PUR) and coal mine roof in order to determine the mechanism of reinforcement, in both highly fractured rock and unfractured rock.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper presents a pillar design methodology that was developed from a study of pillar performance in operating stone mines and concludes with guidelines for applying a developed equation and selecting appropriate input parameters.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersIn this NIOSH study to optimize standing roof support design, ground response curves were developed for longwall tailgate conditions from numerical models of Pittsburgh Coal Seam geology.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis work attempts to provide rock mechanic tools that will enable a mine operator to make economic decisions that will also ensure a safe working environment.
-
3/1/2008 - Conference papersSome surprising results were revealed in this study designed and implemented by NIOSH to evaluate the effectiveness of pre-driven longwall recovery rooms supported with pumpable concrete roof supports.
-
7/1/2007 - Conference papersAn intelligent drilling system has been developed that can complement scoping and core analysis to provide a more complete picture of roof strata and is capable of seeing features or conditions that are not always obvious in more traditional methods.
-
7/1/2007 - Conference papersA unique circumstance created by monitoring a pre-driven longwall recovery room permitted measuring the stresses of a coal pillar throughout its entire life cycle in less than a week. The complete transformation took place in less than 12 hours.
-
7/1/2007 - Conference papersThis paper presents the results of a study of roof conditions in 34 limestone mines in the Eastern and Midwestern U.S.
-
6/1/2007 - Conference papersThere are fundamental aspects of support design and ground control that we still do not understand or recognize when designing a support system. These issues are evaluated and a different approach to support design is proposed.
-
5/1/2007 - Conference papersA survey of roof and pillar conditions in limestone mines has revealed that bench mining of the floor between pillars can cause instability in the pillars at the perimeter of the benched area. Numerical models were used to assess those effects.
