About the Cover

Longwall mining is one of the most acclaimed and widely used in underground method for coal extraction characterized with high production, productivity and safety potentials. The interaction of powered roof supports with the roof is the key issue in strata mechanics of longwall mining. Longwall coal extraction method though showed the potential of high outputs, never rose to the expectation in India due to factors pertaining to strata mechanics problems, poor spares management, adaptation of technology without suitability analysis and unyielding exertion ethnicity. Controlled caving of rock mass is a prerequisite pro thriving exploitation of coal deposits by longwall retreat with caving technique. Support resistance has evolved as the most promising and effective scientific tool to predict various aspects related to strata mechanics of such workings.
