The modern longwall mining method was first developed in the early 1970s when the first shield supports were introduced. Since that time, all components of a longwall system have been considerably upgraded in areas such as installed power, conveyor chain speed and capacity, structural integrity, and — first and foremost — automation.
Abstract A better understanding of the interaction between shield supports, roof, and coal strata, along with the prediction of roof deformation and caving behavior is essential for successful longwall mining operations. The stability of a longwall face ...
The success of longwall mining depends to a large extent on the capacity and design of shield support. Throughout the history of longwall mining, shield support design has been a critical issue to the success of mining operation. To make mining operations …
The stability of the roof in coal mining plays a crucial role in ensuring safe excavation. After coal extraction, the roof experiences complex and unbalanced stress conditions, leading to diverse roof failure behaviors, particularly in the case of thick roofs. This study examines the failure behaviors of roofs with different thicknesses through a …
The length of the roof support beam is 5.2 m, and the length of hanging roof is 1.5 m. By obtaining the stiffness conditions of the face-end support, the conditions of the roof deflection are as shown in Figure 5; the supporting force of the longwall mining hydraulic support group is shown in Figure 6.

Developing longwall mining under weak geological conditions imposes a substantial challenge with regard to the higher risk of falling roofs. Maintaining the stability of the longwall face in this aforementioned condition is crucial for smooth operation. Investigating roof conditions in longwall requires detailed study of rock behavior in …
Introduction. Longwall is a globally proven mass mining technology for underground coal mining. The complex rock mechanics issues involved in this inflexible mining system demands careful planning for selection of suitable mining sites, and rational capacity support systems to ensure successful implementation of the project in a given …

The shield mechanics described in this report have been verified by full-scale testing of two, typical, two-legged longwall shields of different manufacture in the MRS.
Understanding the shield-roof interaction in longwall panels enables us to apply the SSRI system for ground control in longwall coal mines. Early warning of severe roof weighting …
Confidence of design with 75 years of longwall powered roof support experience ... The proximity system can prevent the movement of an advancing shield if an object is detected. Full integration into the Faceboss Control System eliminates the need for additional fixed components. ... To help realize the potential of your longwall mining ...
Reviewing the 25 year history of the use of the shield support for longwall mining in the United States, it is clear that the shield had a major role in making longwall mining the most productive and safest mining method available to U.S. operators. The basic shield structure has remained
Ground controls in roadways and longwall faces are the hot topics in deep mining, as shown in Fig. 1pared with shallow coal mines, deep coal mines suffer high in situ stress and strong mining disturbance, resulting in large deformation, long duration, and serious damage to the roadways (Adams and Rennison, 2003; Hucke et al., 2006; …
Along with it, a prospect of thick seam mining by mechanized longwall and its variants like Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC), Sub-Level Caving, etc. is proposed as a future thick seam mining method ...
In the Longwall mining method, the coal face is being supported with two-legged or four-legged shield supports which improve better roof control between the face and canopy tip. The development of ...
This paper presents the results of lab-simulated tests on longwall powered supports under dynamic loading conditions. The tests were carried out on a test site, where the tested prop was subjected to a dynamic load using a controlled mass falling under gravity onto the support. The loading on the support was therefore determined based …

Roof strata movement and shield pressure are two important factors that affect the production and efficiency of longwall top coal caving (LTCC) method in extra-thick coal seams. The performances of these two aspects can be very different from one mine to another depending on the roof strata conditions. In this paper, the geological …
India has been seeking technology for mass production of coal below ground. Longwall technology was accepted as one of the options a few decades ago. Unfortunately, it failed to meet the expected benchmark for success. This shortfall was deciphered and attributed to the inadequate understanding of cavability, leading to a …

Mining has made it a common practice. Introduction The debate about whether bigger is better obviously refers to the support capacity not the size of the support, although in some cases the two are related. The debate is really about the degree of control that manmade supports have on ground behavior in underground mining. The key issue
