Analysis of coal pillar stability (ACPS): A new generation of pillar design software
Thirty years ago, the analysis of longwall pillar stability (ALPS) inaugurated a new era in coal pillar design. ALPS was the first empirical pillar design technique to consider the abutment loads that arise from full extraction, and the first to be calibrated using an extensive database of longwall...
