Abstract
Abstract
| The objective of this Bureau of Mines study is to determine the structural integrity and stress state of coal structure using seismic techniques. Bureau personnel conducted seismic transmission and refraction surveys on yield pillars and seismic tomography on rigid pillars. The pillars studied were in the headgate at increasing distances from the working face of a longwall coal mine, effectively evaluating pillars at lowering stress states and increasing levels of structural integrity. By examining characteristics of the seismic wave, including velocity and frequency, the survey results are used to infer yield zone thickness, core mss state, and stress distribution. An accurate definition of these parameters can not only provide mine engineers a useful tool for evaluating mine design, but also give valuable insight into the inherent safety of the mine structure. |
