3/1/2006 - Conference papersMore than 300 case histories have been collected from underground mines mainly in central Appalachia. This paper focuses on several of the more challenging multiple seam mining situations that have been encountered.

8/1/2005 - Conference papersResults show that the remnant upper seam structure's size can influence multiple seam interaction. Specifically, smaller critically loaded upper seam pillars appear more likely to cause lower seam ground control problems than wider pillars.

8/1/2004 - Conference papersPolyurethane injection is a proven method of rock stabilization in even the weakest, most broken ground. Optimization of the injection design by pre-injection video diagnostics can greatly contribute to successful and efficient roof stabilization.

8/1/2002 - Conference papersStudies have identified a number of factors for evaluating a pillar extraction plan. This paper discusses each of the factors, presents relevant accident statistics, and shows how the risk factors can be combined to estimate the overall hazard.

1/1/1989 - Reports of InvestigationsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines used a contact drilling strategy with short-collared assemblies in order to rotary drill long horizontal methane drainage holes in the Beckley coalbed near Glen Daniel, West Virginia. By decreasing the thrust and increasing the ...
-
1/1/1984 - Reports of InvestigationsSince 1970, abnormally high methane emissions have been observed in eastern sections of the Federal No. 2 Mine operating in the Pittsburgh coalbed in northern West Virginia. The nature and volume of these emissions indicate a source other than the coalb...

1/1/1982 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Bureau of Mines conducted research to degasify a virgin block of coal in the Beckley coalbed using long horizontal holes drilled in an array from the bottom of a ventilation air shaft. Eight horizontal holes and an in situ pressure hole were drilled...
-
1/1/1977 - Reports of InvestigationsThe Beckley Mine is one of five new mines in a heretofore unmined portion of the Beckley coalbed. The remoteness of these new mines from prior mining and their greater overburden preclude applying methane emission experience obtained in the old mines. F...
