Pillar load transfer mechanisms in multi-seam mining

The mechanisms controlling pillar load transfer from an overlying seam to subadjacent workings is investigated. Mine geometry and geology are researched as major variables affecting interaction between contiguously placed seams. The thesis includes photoelastic experimentation, finite element modeli...
