Coal Pillar Design Procedures
Review of current design methodologies to improve the safety of roof support systems, particularly in the face area in collieries
Simple users guide on roof support installations and evaluation
The effect of structural discontinuities on coal pillar strength as a basis of improving safety and the design of coal pillar systems
Determine the need to research the time related stability decay of bord and pillar systems
Review the caving mechanisms around high extraction systems and determine the effect of the mechanisms on the safety of the systems
Assessment of coal pillar design procedures
