• Using the Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR) to Assess Roof Stability in U.S. Coal Mines
  8/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The CMRR quantifies defects in the rock mass and compiles a strength value used for engineering design. The CMRR has been applied to a number of ground stability problems. The CMRR procedure and some of these applications are described in this paper.
• Application of the Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR) to Extended Cuts
  4/1/1999 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR) has been widely accepted as a tool for geologic characterization and mine planning. The application of the CMRR to extended cuts (cuts greater that 6 m (20 ft) in length) is discussed.
