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 ...

Experimental study of transient thermal conditions in longwall faces
With limited mineral resources, existing mines are seeking to extract increasingly hard-to-reach and deep-seated mineral reserves. Increasing mining depth leads to problems connected with the provision of comfortable and safe working conditions. The main

Pillar design and coal burst experience in Utah Book Cliffs longwall operations
Longwall mining has existed in Utah for more than half a century. Much of this mining occurred at depths of cover that significantly exceed those encountered by most other US longwall operations.

DETERMINATION OF WORKLOADS IN CUTTING HEAD OF LONGWALL TUMBLE HEADING MACHINE [PDF]
The mining organ of the longwall heading machine KGS-320 with radial tools was the subject of the analysis. Cooperation of single knife with the mined solid rock was estimated in order to determine values of the forces and moments that might occur in the

Comparative analysis of the mine pressure at non-pillar longwall mining by roof cutting and traditional longwall mining [PDF]
Abstract Non-pillar coal mining has been developed and implemented in the recent decades in China's coal mining industry. The non-pillar longwall mining by roof cutting without pre-excavated entry (N00 mining method) is one of the latest non-pillar mining methods and this method has the advantages of reduced roadway drivage ratio and ...

An investigation of longwall failure using 3D numerical modelling – A case study at a copper mine
It is well-known that the longwall mining method (with roof caving) is widely used in underground mining extraction for bedded deposits (e.g. coal) due to its numerous advantages.
