Determination of the pillar and roof optimum parameters for new mining technology with continuous miner was the main aim of the present work.
Underground stone mines in the united states use the room and pillar method of mining in generally flat lying bedded formations.
Pillar and roof span stability are two essential prerequisites for safe working conditions in room and pillar mines.
The conventional calculation formulas and conditional thickness meth ods were used to determine the room and pillar mining system parameters which guarantee a long term stability.
Unstable pillars can result in rock sloughing from the pillar and can lead to the collapse of the roof if one or more pillars should fail.
To do this rooms of ore are dug out while pillars of untouched material are left to support the roof overburden calculating the size shape and position of pillars is a complicated procedure and is an area of.
