The article describes the effect exerted by variability of gas content of coal seam on its mining process parameters: geometry of longwalls, directions and velocities of face advance in longwalls and gateways, as well as overmining and (or) undermining of close-spaced seams. The results are applicable in efficient mine layout and safe mining design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
