Description

This comprehensive technical book on Highwall Mining covers theory and practice coupled with practical examples and design aspects. It contains eight extensive chapters elaborating on broad-spectrum functionalities of highwall mining and its operational aspects, covering the world scenario, economic potential, methods of coal extraction, and design methodology including empirical web pillar design. The book also delves into numerical modelling for stress analysis, safety factor for web pillars, panel and barrier design, small-and large-scale numerical modelling, multiple seam interaction and design, coal web pillar strength, equivalent width concept, laboratory testing, new web pillar strength formula, effect of weak bands in the coal seam, slope stability, safety and ground monitoring, hazards and regulatory requirements, case examples, and norms and guidelines for practice.

It also summarises the results of research carried out by the CSIR Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CSIR-CIMFR), India, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia, on the subject.

The book will equip readers with an understanding of the complex, multiple seam scenarios for highwall mining, and its design for maximum coal recovery from any given site with better economics. This will aid mining companies in extracting locked-up coal while following safety norms to avoid hazards and minimise instability issues. A large number of case studies are included to illustrate the application of numerical modelling for prior estimation and viability of highwall mining operations under varying geomining conditions.

Highwall Mining will be of interest to professionals and academics in the field of mining engineering specifically, but will also interest civil, geomechanical and geological engineers as well as rock mechanics professionals.
