Design of Bord and Pillar method in coal mines
Feb 27, 2016· INTRODUCTION In India, about 98% of underground output of coal is obtained by Bord and Pillar method and barely about 2% by longwall methods. The other countries where Bord and Pillar method predominates are Australia, The USA and South Africa. The key to the successful Bord and Pillar mining is selecting the optimum pillar size.

Toward Pillar Design to Prevent Collapse of Room-and
underground miners. Traditional strength-based pillar design methods applicable to coal or hard-rock mines use a factor of safety defined as pillar strength divided by pillar stress. Factor of stability, defined as local mine stiffness divided by post-failure pillar stiffness, may offer a way to design room-and-pillar mines and eliminate collapses.

Pillar Strength and Design Methodology for Stone Mines
In a room-and-pillar mine, the pillars are required to provide addition, local stability in the form of stable pillar ribs and roof are required to provide safe working conditions. Pillar design is typically carried out by estimating the pillar strength and the pillar stress, and then sizing the pillars so coal and hard rock mines, and

Room and pillar mining Wikipedia
Room and pillar (variant of breast stoping), is a mining system in which the mined material is extracted across a horizontal plane, creating horizontal arrays of rooms and pillars. 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
