The roomandpillar technique is a selfsupporting mining method in which part of the ore is left unmined as pillars. To increase the mining efficiency, the pillars are
Underground Mining: Room and Pillar In the roomandpillar mining method, miners carve a “room” out of coal. Columns (pillars)
The stability of room mining coal pillars during their secondary mining for recovering coal was analyzed. An analysis was performed for the damage and instability
In roomandpillar mining, coal deposits are mined by cutting a network of ‘rooms’ into the coal seam and leaving behind ‘pillars’ of coal to support the roof of the mine. These pillars can be up to 40% of the total coal in the
French Lorraine iron ore accounts for 94% of the total production, while 58 mines in Lorraine are mined by the roomandpillar method. In the United States, the method is used by 65 percent of
The roomandpillar technique is a selfsupporting mining method in which part of the ore is left unmined as pillars. To increase the mining efficiency, the pillars are
Coal is relatively easy to extract while using this method, and it's still sometimes considered preferable to more modern techniques like sublevel caving for a

In underground coal mining, room and pillar is one of the oldest methods used for the extraction of flat and tabular coal seams. In this method, a series of rooms are driven in the solid coal using continuous miner and generally Shuttle cars and pillars are formed in the development panels. Pillars are left behind to support the roof and to
Coal is relatively easy to extract while using this method, and it's still sometimes considered preferable to more modern techniques like sublevel caving for a consistently productive coal mine. As the method involves less overburden excavation than strip mining, the room and pillar technique is often preferred for deeper operations,
Roomandpillar is an underground mining method in which ore is extracted across a horizontal plane, forming horizontal arrays of rooms and pillars [1]. To do this, 'rooms' of ore are excavated
Figure 8.3.1 A section in a room and pillar mine. Source: Arch Coal. Remember from our earlier discussion of ground control: when we mine an opening, the weight of the overlying strata must be supported; otherwise, it will cave. As long as the rock layers over the opening are sufficiently strong (think beam ), the weight of the overlying
In roomandpillar mining, coal deposits are mined by cutting a network of ‘rooms’ into the coal seam and leaving behind ‘pillars’ of coal to support the roof of the mine. These pillars can be up to 40% of the total coal in the
Openpit mining is a common method for extracting coal, but considerable resources are often left unrecovered at the bottom of endslopes, leading to a permanent waste of resources. This research presents a sustainable approach of multilayer highwall mining at different levels to address the issue of abundant resources left unrecovered at the bottom
This paper studies the surrounding rock instability mechanism and rational coal pillar width of the gobside coal roadway under the influence of intense dynamic pressure. The results show that: (1) Under the condition of large mining height, the roadway overburden is a hinged structure, and an unreasonable coal pillar width makes the gob
China’s total coal production in exceeded 4.13 billion tons, 52% of the world’s total. Coal gangue, a solid waste of coal mining accounts for 15–20% of coal production, when directly discharged on the ground surface as waste heaps, it occupies large areas of land and cause environmental pollution. This paper summarizes the
In room and pillar mining, seams of coal are mined partially, leaving large pillars of coal intact to support the overlying layers of rock. Mining by this method creates a network of alternating open spaces and large pillars of coal (Fig. 19.4(a)). What is the room and pillar mining method?
The stability of room mining coal pillars during their secondary mining for recovering coal was analyzed. An analysis was performed for the damage and instability mechanism of coal pillars recovered by the caving mining method. During the damage progression of a single room coal pillar, the shape of the stress distribution in the pillar
The room mining coal pillar’s instability and failure occur as a gradual process, depicted in Figure 4. According to the distribution pattern of stress (vertical direction) in the coal pillar, a toroidal type (Figure 4b,c)
The roomandpillar technique is a selfsupporting mining method in which part of the ore is left unmined as pillars. To increase the mining efficiency, the pillars are later recovered partially or completely. This research aims at evaluating and comparing four methods of pillar recovery, namely, ‘pocket and wing’, ‘open ending’, ‘split and fender’,
A method of paste backfill recovery for residual room coal pillars is hereby proposed. The principles and processes of this method are systemically explained to address issues such as mininginduced earthquakes from spontaneous destabilization, surface subsidence, and low recovery rates. These are caused by the instability of

The disturbance depth of traffic load has a direct impact on the stability of a roomandpillar mining goaf. To quantitatively calculate the relationship between the traffic load disturbance depth and influencing factors, 49 groups of horizontal combinations of different influencing parameters are designed in this study, based on the orthogonal

The underground mining is the only potential way for the utilization of the lignite reserves from an open pit exploitation which could remain unexploited due to high stripping ratios. This paper is dealing with the findings of a pilot scale underground exploitation that was developed in the Prosilio open pit coal mine in Northern Greece.
