A rescue team has found a second Kentucky miner dead after a roof collapse at an underground coal mine with a long history of safety problems. Kentucky Office of Mine Safety and Licensing spokesman Dick Brown said the two miners were found dead Thursday after the accident at the Dotiki (dohTEE''kee) Mine in western Kentucky.
The last suspension of mining at Donkin due to a roof collapse occurred after Christmas, resulting in the province ordering the company to seek independent advice on a fresh roof plan. It was the

Coal mine roof that falls before the installation of roof bolts can be hazardous. From, 24 miners were killed while travelling beneath unsupported roof [MSHA ].
In coal mining operations, most forms of roof collapse are undesirable (eg collapse of the roof above a roadway), although some are expected (eg the collapse of the overburden above a longwall panel). For both cases, mine designers need to be able to predict if and how the failure will occur. The collapse of the overburden strata above an
The problem considered is an investigation of the possible collapse of the roof between the pillar next to be mined in secondary coal mining and the first line of pillar remnants called snooks. The roof rock between the pillar, which is the working face, and the snook is modelled as an EulerBernoulli beam acted on at each end by a horizontal force and by its weight per unit length.

The One To Call When The Roof Falls In On Your Life. Its every miners nightmare: a roof collapse. Despite more than 30 years of MSHA laws governing roof control plans, violations continue to occur. If you or a loved one has been injured in a roof collapse or rib fall in a mine, the accident can have a devastating impact on your entire family.

We consider the roof to be simply supported at the snook since as secondary mining takes place, disturbances in the rock mass and also the roof collapse due to the failure of the neighbouring snooks could change the roof structure in the region where the snooks support the beam . We model this by assuming that at the snook the beam is no longer clamped and use instead that the beam is simply
Moranb North roof collapse to slash 10% off Anglo production LAST months roof collapse at its flagship Moranb North mine in Queensland has caused Anglo American Metallurgical Coal to lower its annual production forecast for 2020 by more than 10%.
The company said the collapse was triggered by a geotechnical issue. Analysts at Jefferies said while it was too early to say how long the mine, located in the Bowen Basin, would be offline, quot;if we assume the mine is down for the year, this would be a circa US350 million consolidated EBITDA hit for Anglo''s 2020E results, equating to circa % on our price deck and circa 3% on spot pricesquot;.
Jan 15, 2018#0183;#32;Instability Collapse of mine roof Roof failure The problem of roof collapse varies depending on the type of mine. A common solution is the use of wire netting fixed with rook bolts (lower left note the unusually well defined band of copper) However, they dont always work (lower right). This is a particularly severe fall. 23.

On April 28, 2010, a roof collapsed in the mine, killing two miners. KY Gov. Steve Beshear said rescue crews had to pull back after reaching the site of the collapse when the roof became unstable.
Oct 12, 2010#0183;#32;Mine roofs collapse for many reasons, such as fault lines in the strata, inadequate bolting or other mechanical controls, inadequate pillar size or improper mining methods.
An underground resources company was forced to interrupt production when a roof collapsed at its coal mine and infrastructure in Central Queensland on October 17. Work was interrupted for days after a section of the roof caved in at Bounty Minings Cook Colliery, 195km west of Rockhampton.
