8/20/2013 - PC softwareA software program to help improve mine layouts for control of horizontal stress.
-
8/20/2013 - PC softwareSoftware for estimating the relative inherent strength of coal mine roof.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA field-expedient test method and portable on site test equipment have been developed to measure shotcrete strength in the first six hours after application.
-
7/1/2010 - Conference papersIn this paper, the findings of a survey of roof span stability issues and design practices are presented, and the observed factors contributing to roof instability are discussed.
-
7/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper makes use of numerical models to examine the interaction between typical pillar systems and the surrounding rock mass for weak and strong geological conditions at various spans and depths of cover.
-
7/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper describes a NIOSH field study to evaluate mine entries with highly moisture-sensitive roof rock for long-term stability and seasonal effects. It presents the results from the field study and the key issues determined from the study.
-
2/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper describes the work NIOSH has completed in evaluating three moisture-sensitivity index tests on roof rocks from 23 U.S. coal mines.
-
1/1/2008 - Peer reviewed journal articlesMoisture-sensitive roof rocks have contributed to time-dependent roof falls. NIOSH research proves the value of a wet/dry cycling test for rock evaluation.
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersHighwall stability remains a major concern during highwall mining. Geologic structure (hillseams) and pillar stability are the two major factors affecting highwall stability.
-
8/1/2004 - Conference papersThis paper focuses on a computer simulation used to model roof behavior and rock bolt interaction in a collaborative study of ground behavior, reinforcement performance, and stress redistribution in a coal mine entry under severe horizontal stress.
