Geo-Mechanical Properties of Okaba Coal Deposit for Pillar Support System

並列摘要


This paper investigated the Geo-mechanical properties of Okaba Coal deposit for pillar support system in an underground mine, in which the unit weight of sandstone being the roof rock is 2 450 kg/m3, average Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) value for sandstone sample is 58.65 MPa while the coal sample indicated a UCS value of 4.11 MPa. The Rock Quality Designation of sandstone sample is 76 % while that of coal is 35 %. The Rock Mass Rating (RMR) of sandstone is 74 while that of coal is 36. The RMR was used in the system of pillar dimension whose height is 2.6 m, width of 7.8 m and length of 32 m arranged in form of chain along the roadways to support the roof, and the panel is dimensioned to 200 m width and 1200 m length surrounded by roadways of 4 m width. The choice of the pillar dimension is purely based on the fact that it is the only one that satisfies the requirement of factor of safety of 1.6 which is sufficient enough to ensure stability of the roadways in the mine.
