Underground Coal Mining Underground mining involves opening one or more portals or shafts into the earth that follow or intercept coal seams that are too deep for surface mining methods. Two main methods of underground mining are ...
Subsidence is the motion of a surface (usually, the earth''s surface) as it shifts downward relative to a datum such as sea level. The opposite of subsidence is uplift, which results in an increase in elevation. Ground subsidence is of ...
Types of Underground Mining Underground mining for coal is conducted by either room and pillar mining or longwall mining. In room and pillar mining, approximately 50 percent of the coal is removed, using a continuous miner, from
Coal Mine Subsidence Theory Basic Framework of Subsidence Problem The basic questions asked with regard to subsidence are few in number and seem deceptively simple to answer. Given an underground opening of known vertical ...
