Conventional approaches for assessment of caving behaviour and support requirement with regard to strata control experiences in longwall workings

Effective control of roof strata is very important for trouble free operation and regular face advance in mechanised longwall workings. It is now technically possible to exploit coal seams in difficult geo-mining conditions with the help of newer innovations in longwall face machineries. A reliable...
