In its essence, coal mining is a simple process. The coal lies beneath the ground, embedded among layers of sedimentary rocks. Surface miners remove the overlying or surrounding rocks and then remove the coal. Underground miners excavate the coal while leaving the overlying rock in place to the extent that is possible.

To predict the induced surface subsidence due to underground mining activity at Diavik Diamond Mine, a fully three-dimensional elastoplastic finite element (FE) model was established. The initial results of the model were calibrated using two underground calibration points. ... the dip of ore body is steep (which is the case in …
All underground openings need services such as exhaust ventilation and fresh air, electric power, water and compressed air, drains and pumps to collect seeping ground water, and a communication …
Surface deformation failures induced by underground mining have become one of the main damaging factors of surface structures, which have adverse effects on the environment (Donnelly et al. 2001; Marschalko et al. 2012a, b; Salmi et al. 2017; Yilmaz and Marschalko 2012).Landslides directly caused by or related to …

What is the difference between surface mining and underground mining? Surface and underground mining are the predominant types of excavation used by the mining industry today. Surface mining …
As one of the advanced underground mining methods, cut-and-fill mining is increasingly applied in China and some other major mining countries owing to the following advantages: (1) it effectively controls rock pressure and ground movement; (2) it protects the ground environment and (3) disposal of a huge amount of solid wastes is thus made ...
The end product reduces the need for a primary crusher, reducing energy and expenses. Also, surface excavation equipment is more environmentally friendly than traditional methods. Mining operations can significantly reduce the amount of explosives they use, which helps reduce the amount of dust and vibration produced.
Whether underground or on the surface, unexpected rock movement can cause injuries and can potentially result in a mine catastrophe. Even relatively shallow strip mines and quarries can …
Such deposits can be extracted by either surface or underground mining depending on which the methods turn out to be more favorable economically; ... It is employed on many ore deposits and partially for mining coal from dipping and steep deposits. In this case the quarry is deepened gradually and its ultimate depth may be as …
Compared with underground mining, the advantages of surface mining mainly include the following points. (1) Large mine production capacity. ... The load capacity of surface use trucks is continuously increasing and electric wheel trucks are widely used in surface mines. Steep slope railway transportation system (the slope is 40–50%) has …
The high and steep stratified rock slope with steep top and gentle bottom is typical in western China. This study investigated this kind of slope's deformation patterns and failure mechanisms induced by step-by-step excavations. FLAC3D simulated the excavation process according to the actual situation (the first three phases) and planned …
Crest: Exterior vertex formed by the intersection of the bench floor and bench face. Bench width: The distance between the crest and the toe measured along the upper surface. Bank width: The horizontal projection of the bench face. There are two types of benches in each open pit mine: working benches and safety (catch) benches.
After underground mining, the overlying rock in the goaf first subsides and deforms, so that the stress is readjusted, and tensile stress is concentrated at the top of the slope, and finally a tensile crack is formed. ... The failure of the slope is controlled by the bedding surface and the steep joint plane parallel to the free face. 2. There ...
Surface coal mining in the steep terrain of the central Appalachian coalfields involves removing parts or all of mountaintops to expose buried seams of coal and disposing the excess in adjacent valleys. Learn more about surface coal mining. 1. …
Rockfalls in underground steep coal seams are very harmful to personnel and mining equipment because of their stratigraphic circumstances, block formation …
Underground mining under the slope can induce strata movement, which in turn can induce landslides and surface subsidence. Previous studies have focused on the damage behavior of the surrounding rock mass caused by underground mining, ignoring the combined effect on the rock mass from open-pit mining to underground …
Underground mining. In underground coal mining, the working environment is completely enclosed by the geologic medium, which consists of the coal seam and the overlying and underlying strata. Access to the coal seam is gained by suitable openings from the surface, and a network of roadways driven in the seam then facilitates the …
