Working under Sst roof Past Experience
LW failures under hard roof in India
• LW collapsed at Balrampur, Kumda, Churcha, Kottadi and Gdk9inc, 11A.
• Major roof collapse in VK-7 during salvage under Sst roof.
• P-21 worked under Sst roof in PVK.

Preparedness for working under Sst in PVK

• Supports Refurbishment: Around new 200 legs (50% of
total legs), all control valve blocks, all bleed valves, all
line distribution blocks, all connectors, hoses, filters,
advancing rams, rams of extension canopies were
replaced with indigenous and imported spares.
• New 3rd power pack pump.
• Ring-main circuit.
• Multi Point Borehole Extensometers (MPBEx) - 2 Nos.
• The additional boreholes at 30 and 60m were logged too. 21
P-
• The physic-mechanical properties of older/newer
boreholes compared and studied in-detail.
• Calculation of layer wise cavability index.
• Numerical modeling were done with the help of CIMFR.
• Around 500 blast holes were drilled & blasted.

Panel Layouts Dip-Rise Panels
Why Dip-Rise panel in KK-7 ??


Panel Layouts Dip-Rise Panels
Advantages
1. Face gradient is 1 in 6. Gate roads gradient is 1 in 6.
2. The position of abutment load and tensile load gets shifted from
supports towards goaf.
3. The intensity of abutment load reduced drastically and the caving is
very smooth.
4. No abnormal roof convergence and floor heaving are experienced
& expected.
5. Gate road supports are intact.
6. No water problem along bottom gate road ways.
a. Min 10 persons/ day/ km gate belt-be avoided.
b. Min 4 weak joints/week-avoided
c. Reduction in Belt life.
d. Advancing of gate end supports, BSL, Gate belt tail end unit becomes
easier.
e. BSL and gate belt is free of water.
f. No rusting & pitting problems of BSL bottom plates, fleights and chain.
g. Quality of coal is maintained.
Limitations
1. Men transport upto face and Advancing of switch train.
2. Shear failure of face results in falling of boulders onto
AFC and injuring persons working at face.
3. Reduction of shearer thrust for cutting the coal in
raising direction. Roof Bolting Practice in underground mines-needs ‘ Review & Policy’

Problems to be focused..
• Face gradient is 1 in 3.8 to 1 in 4.5. Gate road gradient is 1 in 50.
• Power requirement of Shearer:
• For cutting the face At 1 in 3.8 gradient is around 900KW for 3.6m/4m Ht of Extrn.
• For haulage of shearer at 1 in 3.8 gradient is around 70 KW.
• Contours swing for about 500m in few panels towards North.
• Straight gate: Gates dipping at 1 in 50, RL difference 10m, Water should be
pumped out.
• Deviation in Gate (90) : Face has to negotiate deviation with strata problems, time
loss.
• Possible Roof damage to bottom Gate of Twin gates due to LW retreat.
• Maintaining such gates for 1-1.5 years including Pumping, Ventilation, inspection etc.,


Selection of Equipment Power Roof Supports
Support resistance
1. Convergence method

2. Bending stress/Moment/
Beam method

• Ht of caving is 10T.
• Weighted avg of Ts is considered.
• Cavability index calculated layer-wise.
• Caving beds are assumed as cantilever beams.
• Bending stress/moment of Beams calculated
and equated.

• Main Fall is expected at : 65m
• Periodic Fall span : 15.85m
• Required Support Density : 129.7 t/m2 (Main weight) 64.7 t/m2 (Periodic Weighting)
• Load on Support : 915.4 T (Main weighting) 641.4 (Periodic Weighting)
• The recommended Support Capacity is 1000-1100T with support Resistance of 110-120T/m2


Selection of Equipment Power Roof Supports
Structural Features

• 2 Legged Shield
• Base width : 1.7 or 1.8m
• Advancing Ram : atleast 60T capacity.
• Face frogs
• Anti skid + Anti topple
• Base lifting rams.
• Support Resistance : 110-120T/m2
• Support capacity : 1000-1100T
