Investigating Effect of Induced Stresses due to Coal Panel Extraction on Next Panel Strata behavior during Mechanized Longwall Mining: a Case Study

Emad Ansari; Ramin Rafiee; Mohammad Ataei

Volume 15, Issue 1 , January 2024, , Pages 381-399

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13787.2560

Abstract
  Due to longwall mining, a large space without any support is created, and the in-situ stress regimes change. The change of the in-situ stress regimes affects the roof and face of the adjacent panel. In other words, the strata behavior would be different from the intact condition during the previous panel ...  Read More

Effects of geometrical and geomechanical properties on slope stability of open-pit mines using 2D and 3D finite difference methods

H. Zebarjadi Dana; R. Khaloo Kakaie; R. Rafiee; A.R. Yarahmadi Bafghi

Volume 9, Issue 4 , October 2018, , Pages 941-957

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.7149.1562

Abstract
  Slope stability analysis is one of the most important problems in mining and geotechnical engineering. Ignoring the importance of these problems can lead to significant losses. Selecting an appropriate method to analyze the slope stability requires a proper understanding of how different factors influence ...  Read More

Improvement of coal mine roof rating classification using fuzzy type-2

R. Rafiee; A. Azarfar

Volume 9, Issue 3 , July 2018, , Pages 691-701

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.6736.1494

Abstract
  One of the main concerns of an underground coal mining engineer is the safety and stability of the mine. One way that the safety and stability can be ensured is to know and understand the coal mine geology and how it reacts to the mining process. One technique that has shown a lot of success in the coal ...  Read More

Determination of a suitable extraction equipment in mechanized longwall mining in steeply inclined coal seams using fuzzy analytical hierarchy method (Case study: Hamkar coal mine, Iran)

A. Hosseini; M. Najafi; Seyed A. Shojaatlhosseini; R. Rafiee

Volume 8, Issue 3 , July 2017, , Pages 487-499

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.847

Abstract
  The longwall mining method is one of the most applied methods in extracting low-inclined to high-inclined coal seams. Selection of the most suitable extraction equipment is very important in the economical, safety, and productivity aspects of mining operations. There are a lot of parameters affecting ...  Read More
