Jan 15, 2018#0183;#32;Instability Collapse of mine roof Roof failure The problem of roof collapse varies depending on the type of mine. A common solution is the use of wire netting fixed with rook bolts (lower left note the unusually well defined band of copper) However, they dont always work (lower right). This is a particularly severe fall. 23.

Moranb North roof collapse to slash 10% off Anglo production LAST months roof collapse at its flagship Moranb North mine in Queensland has caused Anglo American Metallurgical Coal to lower its annual production forecast for 2020 by more than 10%.
In coal mining operations, most forms of roof collapse are undesirable (eg collapse of the roof above a roadway), although some are expected (eg the collapse of the overburden above a longwall panel). For both cases, mine designers need to be able to predict if and how the failure will occur. The collapse of the overburden strata above an
this is what happens after the pillars have been removed. A normal day at work for a coal miner .
We consider the roof to be simply supported at the snook since as secondary mining takes place, disturbances in the rock mass and also the roof collapse due to the failure of the neighbouring snooks could change the roof structure in the region where the snooks support the beam . We model this by assuming that at the snook the beam is no longer clamped and use instead that the beam is simply
The last suspension of mining at Donkin due to a roof collapse occurred after Christmas, resulting in the province ordering the company to seek independent advice on a fresh roof plan. It was the

The problem considered is an investigation of the possible collapse of the roof between the pillar next to be mined in secondary coal mining and the first line of pillar remnants called snooks. The roof rock between the pillar, which is the working face, and the snook is modelled as an EulerBernoulli beam acted on at each end by a horizontal force and by its weight per unit length.
An underground resources company was forced to interrupt production when a roof collapsed at its coal mine and infrastructure in Central Queensland on October 17. Work was interrupted for days after a section of the roof caved in at Bounty Minings Cook Colliery, 195km west of Rockhampton.

The company said the collapse was triggered by a geotechnical issue. Analysts at Jefferies said while it was too early to say how long the mine, located in the Bowen Basin, would be offline, quot;if we assume the mine is down for the year, this would be a circa US350 million consolidated EBITDA hit for Anglo''s 2020E results, equating to circa % on our price deck and circa 3% on spot pricesquot;.
