Preliminary Design of an Improved Load Measuring Device for Underground Mining Standing Supports
Standing support is often used in conjunction with underground retreat mining. Knowledge of the load-displacement behavior of a standing support and loading induced by the mine opening is critical proper support selection. The NIOSH STOP database contains load-displacement laboratory test data for …
