This thesis presents a logical design methodology for coal mine extraction optimization under massive sandstone roof as developed though a case study analysis of the Quinsam Coal 4 South mine a shallow underground room and pillar mine with a massive sandstone roof This research is intended to guide Quinsam Coal and other coal mines globally in efforts to develop or optimize coal

Safety Measures against Cave-ins and Roof Falls: • Geo mechanical properties of overlying rocks are studied and scientifically designed support systems on the basis of ROCKMASS-RATING (RMR) are applied • Strata control cells have been established in all coal subsidiaries • Introduction of Mechanized Drilling by roof bolting machines

Increasing demand for metals caused by global economic growth and exploitation of shallow mineral deposits forces mineral extraction to go deeper A direct consequence of this development is an increase in rock pressure-related mining problems The role of rock engineering in the design and operation of deep mines is discussed in detail

A cave-in occurs when a geologic formation mine or structure collapses usually during mining or tunneling This underground mining accident occurs when proper safety measures have not been done on the walls and ceiling of the mineshaft Generally roof supporting is done by various techniques like roof bolting timber and steel supports

Moisture-sensitive shale deterioration starts off as a skin control problem meaning it can cause pieces of rock to fall in between the roof bolts When the roof initially relaxes as a result of coal extraction microtensile failures can occur These tension cracks produce an increased infiltration of moisture leading to swelling
