(Taylor & Francis, 2012-06)There is mounting evidence to show that engineers need more than technical skills to succeed in industry. In this paper we describe a curriculum innovation in which so-called “soft” skills, specifically inter-personal ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-06)This paper investigates the use of a thin spray-on liner (TSL) as stope face support in narrow width tabular stopes. The application of areal support is difficult in these stopes because of the small stoping width and the ...
-
(Springer, 2014-01)It is important to note that creep is only one aspect of the time-dependent behavior of rocks. In Fig. 1, three cases are illustrated with respect to the complete stress–strain curve: creep, i.e., increasing strain when ...
-
(Springer, 2021-01)An improved understanding of pillar strength and pillar failure mechanisms is required to optimize tabular mine layout designs. The paper describes the application of a limit equilibrium model for pillar failure analysis. ...
-
A limit equilibrium model to simulate the large-scale pillar collapse at the Everest Platinum Mine (Springer, 2023-01)This paper is a case study of a large-scale pillar collapse at the Everest Platinum Mine. A major contributing factor to the collapse was the presence of weak alteration layers in the pillars. These alteration layers are ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-07)A method for the geochemical modelling of transient contaminant release from rehabilitated opencast coal mines, including calibration against existing data, is proposed. The need for such a methodology is illustrated by a ...
-
(Springer, 2021-03)During underground longwall coal extraction, overburden strata deformation may result in vertical goaf drainage holes, which are drilled in advance of mining for tail gate gas management, to fail. The performance of these ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Mining is a competitive business with many players. The survival of a mine in the business is determined by its efficiency and cost-effectiveness relative to the other producers. Both new and operating mines should select ...
-
(Springer, 2019-01)A review of various real time temperature monitoring devices available for use in underground coal mines in Queensland was conducted. To investigate the fit-for-purpose of the intrinsically safe (IS) instrument, laboratory ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-12)This paper reflects critically on why individuals engaged in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) struggle to obtain formal loans. Several studies have concentrated on the perceptions of formal lenders on the risks ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-12)This paper investigates the unique problems associated with the design of rockburst support for shallow-dipping tabular excavations. These designs are particularly problematic when the stoping width is very small. In steep ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-09)This paper describes a method to determine the time-dependent stability of the fracture zone near the edges of tabular excavation layouts when different mining rates and face advance increment lengths are scheduled. Some ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-09)Longwall coal mines in the Bowen Basin of Australia are highly productive and gassy, comprising many coal seams above the working seam. Predictive modelling of specific gas emission (SGE) using the conventional Winter model ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-12)Over the past few years, the Australian coal mines heavily relied on drilling vertical goafholes to capture coal mine methane and monitor methane levels, which is named goaf gas drainage. The suction pressure applied on ...
