Strata Caving and Gob Evolution Characteristic in Longwall Mining
It is usually difficult to capture strata caving and gob evolution characteristic in longwall mining at engineering scales. This paper uses bonded block modelling (BBM) approach within a distinct element method (DEM) code to simulate strata behaviour in ...

A case study of the stability of a non-typical bleeder entry system at a U.S. longwall mine
Longwall abutment loads are influenced by several factors, including depth of cover, pillar sizes, panel dimensions, geological setting, mining height, proximity to gob, intersection type, and size of the gob.
