Different mining methods are designed to produce different types and magnitudes of displacements, in the near-field and far-field domains of an orebody. For example, the mining method illustrated schematically in Figure 12.2 is designed to restrict rock displacements in both the near field and the far field of the orebody to elastic orders

Room and pillar's (R&P) method of underground mining is the most common method used in India. 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 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.

The methods for designing pillars in underground mines are fundamentally based on empirical formulae that do not take into account the quality of the rock mass as an input parameter. This makes them difficult to apply in other types of ground that are different to those used to establish each empirical formula.To avoid this inconvenience, the …

Room and pillar. Room and pillar is also known as bord and pillar is a mining system in which the mined material is taken out across a horizontal plane while leaving "pillars" of unscathed material to support the overstrain leaving open regions or "rooms" underground.
