An evaluation of roof support plans at two coal mines in Illinois using numerical models

S Sinha, YP Chugh - International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining …, 2016‏ - Elsevier
Design of stable intersections and their reinforcement requires additional research and
development, since over 70–80% of roof falls in US coal mines typically occur at …

An analysis of the possible fault displacements associated with a retreating longwall face in Illinois

B Abbasi, YP Chugh, H Gurley - ARMA US Rock Mechanics …, 2014‏ - onepetro.org
Longwall mining is growing rapidly in Illinois. A coal company was faced with crossing a 3-m
normal fault in the development entries and the longwall face while mining a 375-m wide …

[کتاب][B] An improved rock mass behavior numerical model and its applications to longwall coal mining

B Abbasi - 2016‏ - search.proquest.com
The rock mass constitutive models should include elastic moduli, strength and stiffness of
intact rock as well as those of joints and geometric properties of joints. The post-failure …
