4. Characteristic of R & P It is the most common supported pillar method, designed and used primarily for mining flat-lying seams, or tabular orebodies, or gently dipping bedded ore deposits of limited thickness (like coal, oil shale, limestone, phosphate, salt, trona, potash, and bedded uranium ores,).

The room-and-pillar technique is a self-supporting mining method in which part of the ore is left unmined as pillars. To increase the mining efficiency, the pillars are later recovered partially or completely. This research aims at evaluating and comparing four methods of pillar recovery, namely, 'pocket and wing', 'open ending', 'split and fender', …

Room-and-pillar (R&P) mining is a method of extracting a series of rooms (i.e., long horizontal openings) while leaving behind pillars of ore, rock, or coal. In hard rock masses, pillar widths are smaller than entry widths. Pillars can be constituted solely of ore or of ore and waste when the ore body is thin.

In this extraction method, untouched coal 'pillars' of large dimensions are left to support the overlying strata leaving open areas, i.e. 'rooms and galleries' for the mobility of workers and various mining equipment. The key to successful room and pillar mining is selecting the optimum pillar size.

Hence, in room-and-pillar mining, limiting the extraction ratio is key to reducing the risk of pillar burst and pillar run (chain reaction failure of multiple pillars). 3.3.1.3. Pillar-less mining. Block caving and sublevel caving are pillar-less mining methods where the entire orebody is extracted, leaving no pillars behind for stope support.

since the hard-rock mining industry does not commonly employ room-and-pillar layouts on reefs with dip angles exceeding 15°. Shear stress on stability pillars Regional stability could be achieved by designing stability pillars, either on dip or along strike. These pillars are designed to control the energy release rate (ERR) associated

Manual room and pillar mining method was developed and used ever since coal mining began in the 18th century. Mechanized room and pillar mining began in the late 1920s and reached full mechanization in the late 1940s. Modern mechanized longwall mining however began in the early 1950s [1]. It was imported from Germany for low coal seams …

In this paper, a new artificial expandable pillar, which uses a chemical mixture that expands when water is introduced, is developed for roof support in hard rock mining. Firstly, the active support stresses and load bearing properties of an expandable device were measured in laboratory. The test results show that the initial active support stresses are …

Room and Pillar mining : Room and pillar mining is commonly done in flat or gently dipping bedded ore bodies. Pillars are left in place in a regular pattern while the rooms are mined out. In many room and pillar mines, the pillars are taken out starting at the farthest point from the stope access, allowing the roof to collapse and fill in the ...

The design of hard-rock pillars has not received the same research attention as coal pillar design. This is partly because fewer mines operate at depths su†cient to induce the stresses required to cause hard rocks to fail, and in hard-rock mining pillar and mining geometries are irregular making it di†cult to establish actual loads.
