An updated empirical model for ground control in U.S. multiseam coal mines
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2021 Multiple seam interactions are a major source of ground instability in several U.S. coalfields. Empirical methods are well suited for this problem, because while the mechanics multiple seam interactions are very complex and poorly understood, many mining
