In Donbas coal mines, coal and gas outbursts present a major risk for the mining operation safety. Rapidly released energy can cause serious damage to the mine's personnel and production equipment.
What is Roof Bolting? Roof bolting is a method of roof and ground support in potash, trona, coal, and hard rock mines. Introduced in the late 1800's and rising to prominence in North America throughout the 1940's and 1950's, roof bolting sought to combat risk of roof fall injuries and fatalities in the underground mine and has since ...
Aiming at the environment of low illumination, high dust, and heavy water fog in coal mine driving face and the problems of occlusion, coincidence, and irregularity of bolt mesh laid on coal wall, a YOLOv7 bolt meshdetection algorithm combining the image enhancement and convolutional block attention module is proposed.
The mine produces an average of 20,910 tons of coal daily from eight continuousminingmachine sections. Coal is transported from the section to the surface via belt conveyors. The immediate roof consists of shale and the main roof of sandstone rider coalbed and is primarily supported with 30inch conventional bolts.
Roof bolts are commonly used to provide structural support in underground mines. Frequent and automated assessment of roof bolt is critical to closely monitor any change in the roof conditions ...

Glossary: Mining Terms. Abutment In coal mining, (1) the weight of the rocks above a narrow roadway is transferred to the solid coal along the sides, which act as abutments of the arch of strata spanning the roadway; and (2) the weight of the rocks over a longwall face is transferred to the front abutment, that is, the solid coal ahead of the face and the back abutment, that is, the settled ...

coal mines. In order to address safety issues, a roofboltermachine committee was established by MSHA in 1994. The members of the committee were composed of MSHA, the West Virginia Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety, NIOSH, and roof bolter manufacturers. This committee studied 613 accidents that occurred during drilling and roofbolt ...
Accurate coal mine fire temperatures are unknown, but physical tests in a decommissioned vehicle transport tunnel have measured gas temperatures of between 1280 and 1370°C at the roof level (Ingason et al 2011, and . Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff (1995). In addition, coal fire tests at a purposebuilt mine fire

Mining roof bolt basics. Roof bolting is a method of inserting metal rods into a mine roof to prevent roof collapse. The introduction of mining roof bolts in the 1940s has resulted in the standardisation of roof support systems that could not be destroyed by blasting. As a result, mining roof bolts have contributed to a significant decrease in roof fall fatality rates for underground coal mines.
Perhaps the most significant development in coal mine ground control during the last century was the introduction of roof bolting during the late 1940's and 1950's. From an engineering standpoint, roof bolts are inherently more effective than the wood timbers they replaced. Roof bolts promised to dramatically reduce the number of

Roof bolts, in helping to create a stable rock structure, are the first line of defence to protect mineworkers from fallofgroundrelated hazards, which highlights the importance of correct roof ...
The British Standard on strata reinforcement support system components used in coal mines states that a roof bolt plate "shall flatten under a load of 50%70% of the nominal breaking load of the bar [19] ". It should "allow pullthrough of the rockbolt, nut, and conical seat assembly under a load of 70%95% of the nominal breaking ...
Mining Publication: Mine Roof Bolting Machine Safety: Investigation of Roof Bolter Boom Swing Velocity. An analysis of accident/injury data for 2001 through 2005 from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) revealed that powered machinery accounted for nearly 40% of the total underground coal injuries reported and 62% of all fatalities ...
mechanisms of roof bolt support, although his definitions varied somewhat from the ones given here. Experience has shown that roof bolts are extremely efficient in the suspension mode [Conway 1948; Damberger et al. 1980; Mark et al. 1994b], although suspension becomes more difficult if the weak layer is more than 1 m (3 ft) thick.

Roof bolting is the most popular method for underground openings in the mining industry, especially in the bedded deposits such as coal. In fact, all underground coal mine entries are roofbolted as required by law. However, roof falls still occur frequently in the roof bolted entries. The two possible reasons are: the lack of knowledge of and technology to detect the roof geological ...
The present analysis targeted roof bolter operation incidents in mining applications, given that the roof bolting machine is one of the most dangerous to operate in underground coal mines (Groves, Kecojevic and Komljenovic, 2007) and given the significance of machinerelated incidents (Moore et al., 2012; Ruff, Coleman and Martini, 2011). Data ...
Mines with exceptionally lowstrength roof (UCS <3,500 psi and CMRR <40) are much more likely to struggle with roof falls than other mines. Weak roof is a particular problem for many room and pillar mines in the Midwestern and Northern Appalachian coal basins. Traditional roof support techniques are often not up to the challenge at these ...
