英文原文 A new coal pillars design method in order to enhance safety of the retreat mining in room and pillars mines E.Ghasemi*,K.Shahriar Department of Mining of and Metallurgical Engineering,Amirkabir University of Technology,Tehran,Iran Abstract:Most of the proposed methods of coal pillar design determine pillar dimensions using pillar estimation only through the tributary area theory.Designing pillar based on these methods is not appropriate in room and pillar mines with pillar recovery because retreat mining and gob creation generate abutment loads.Neglecting abutment loads in design stage may lead to pillar failure and destructive effects during retreat mining.Thus proper pillar design has a remarkable effect on mining effect on mining safety.In this paper,a step-bu-step method is presented to design pillars with square shape in room and pillar mines with regard to existing pillars in the active mining zone(AMZ) and estimating abutment loads according to experiment-method. This method has been applied to determine optimum pillar dimensions in the main panel of Tabas Cental Mine(TCM),located in the mid-eastern part of Iran.Obtained results show the abutment loads account for 27%of the total loads applied on pillars in AMZ in this panel.Pillar width,based on this method, is also obtained 11.6m.

In some cases, the pillars are removed partly or fully in a later operation, known as retreat mining(also known as secondary mining or pillar recovery operation). Coal mine pillar desi
