Degree (ki ungé Safety Engine ring) ‘Subject: Underground Goal Mining (MI31001) (Answer al! questions) 1A panel of bord and pilar working has 5 development headings, each 42 m wide, The development of seam is carried out by basting, folowed by loading with SOL and transpot tiuough belt conveyor. The seam is developed to its ful stratigraphic seam thickness of 24 m ‘On average, 4 rounds of blast per face are achieved ina day. 19 holes per face are Blasted in cone round. Depth and diameter ofthe shot holes are 1.6 m and 32 mm respectively, Each shot hole s charged with one capsule of explosive containing explosive mixture of 400 9, Average pull por blast is 90%. Average face availabilty is 80%, Calculate: 2) Coal production per day from the development headings of the panel 'b) Blasting ratio (powder factor) Density of coal is 1.4 t °. The mine works in 3 shifts per day. 2 Discuss how the dimension of the following elements vary while designing @ bord and pillar working: (a) Pill size; (0) Width of galery, (c) Size of barir ilar, and (4) Size of pane! 43 Percentage extraction of a developed bord and pilr working at a depth of 200 m is 25. The pillar size is 25m X 25m and height ofthe pila fs 3m. Overtying stata pressure increases with depth at tho rate of 0.025 MPafm. Calculate (a) load on 2 pilar and (6) factor of safety. (Pilar strength, Sis estimated by using empirical formula $= 7.2 A" wh; 4 Reoal seam of 3 m thickness at a depth of 250 m with moderately cavable roof needs to be ‘edracted to achieve an average production of 500 tonne per day. Explain the layout, method of work, equipment selection and all relevant operational criteria for the above, with output calculation and underground OMS achievable for the extraction. 15. Discuss the following (with figures wherever necessary) (a) Immediate forward support (IFS) in power support (©) Wooden dowel and its applicability (©) Highwalt mining with special reference to Indian experience = 00K = 6) 6 6) @) (2x3)
