Geotechnical characterization of coal refuse for use as a backfill material
Both active and residual mine subsidence resulting from underground coal mining have caused surface damage to land and structures. A method of subsidence mitigation successfully used abroad, and to a much lesser extent in U.S. coal mines, is backfilling. In addition to the possible benefits of …

Application of water mist to fuel-rich fires in model coal mine entries
… with higher mechanization, the way in which mine safety is approached must also change. This situation was clearly shown in a very devastating coal mine fire in late 1984. In the absence of effective fire-fighting procedures and equipment the affected mine was quickly rendered helpless. Of …

Numerical Simulation of High Expansion Foam Into Conduits and Mine Openings
… the surface reducing firefighter exposure to fires. Despite the experimental studies that have been carried out there are still some uncertainties about foam behavior in underground locations. For this reason, the main objective of this thesis was to estimate Hi-Ex foam flow behavior in …
