The strength of pillars are highly dependent on the geological conditions of the mine and there is no universal pillar design method. The following pictures show the potential failure modes that need to be considered for pillar design which are spalling (hourglassing), shear fracturing (geology and stress), bulking/bulging (geology) and ...

Jun 29, 2021 The Sanshandao Gold Mine is located on a seabed, and the crown pillar is the main barrier to isolating seawater and preventing it from entering the mine. The thickness of the crown pillar and the size of the point pillars have a substantial impact on the reduction of resource waste and the economic development of the mine. Therefore, it is very important to determine a reasonable crown pillar ...

Apr 03, 2019 1. Introduction. The slope angle, mining boundary, changes of the coal seam thickness, etc. are the main reasons that many coal resources remain under the end-walls in open-pit coal mines 13.Because of the undeveloped mining technology and low economic benefits, those resources were discarded or exploited using the room and pillar method with low recovery ratios.

Oct 12, 2018 Ensuring the stability of the excavations and the safety of the personnel is of paramount importance to the development of the mining plan. The key to this is the dimensioning of the coal pillars that govern the overall mine stability performance (Hustrulid 1976).For almost a century now coal pillar design has attracted the interest of many researchers (Du et al. 2008) trying to capture the ...

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.

Aug 10, 2015 ensure its safe and economic extraction. The success of a bord and pillar mining method in the exploitation of platinum heavily depends on a comprehensive and competent pillar design method. Pillars need to be large enough to contain load and to be small enough to avoid loss of resource. An optimum pillar design method achieves such a scenario.
