New technology ensures safe mining in steep coal seam conditions.

Paper Summary

Steeply dipping coal seams in China can be tricky to mine, especially when they're close to each other. To tackle this, researchers studied the mining of two coal seams in Panbei Mine. They looked at how the coal and rock behaved under the ground and used computer simulations to predict stress levels. By measuring support resistance and implementing stability control measures, they successfully ensured safe mining conditions.
