Hasenfus2 ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates that finite-element modeling can be used to predict in situ coal pillar strength, especially under nonideal conditions where interface friction and roof and floor deformation are the primary
Read MoreThis paper presents an approach for design of coal pillars in a panel with a consideration of roof-pillar-floor interaction. The main goal of this analysis is to design mine layouts which would maximize coal recovery in different sections of the panel while maintaining pillar, floor, and roof stability.
