Determination of resistance across development section return stoppings
… study to determine the resistance across return stoppings on continuous miner development sections. By determining the resistance across return stoppings, one equivalent resistance branch can be created to model leakage across a return stopping line on a development section. This thesis evaluates …

Development of new protocols to evaluate the transverse loading of mine ventilation stoppings
The transverse loading requirement for stoppings as specified in the current Code of Federal Regulations is 39 psf. This measure is based on physical testing of a freestanding wall in accordance with ASTM E 72 specifications, where the dominant parameter is the tensile strength of the sealant. A …

Numerical Modeling for Increased Understanding of the Behavior and Performance of Coal Mine Stoppings
… not focused on the behavior of concrete block stoppings subjected to excessive vertical loading due to roof to floor convergence. For this reason, the failure mechanism of stoppings under vertical loading has not been fully understood. Numerical models were used in combination with physical …

Design of an Experimental Mine Simulator for the Development of a Procedure for Utilization Multiple Tracer Gases in Underground Mines
… represent ventilation controls, such as stoppings or regulators, or changing resistances in a mine, such an increase in resistance due to a roof fall or a decrease in resistance due to stoppings being destroyed. The relative resistances of airways can be changed by changing the status of …
