The first section provides an overview of the principles of engineering and the factors that need to be considered when designing mine structures. The second section covers the design of shafts, including their construction, sinking, and lining.The third section focuses on the design of tunnels, stopes, and chambers. It discusses the different types of excavation methods and the factors that need to be considered when designing these structures. The fourth section covers the design of timbering and supports, including the different types of timbering and their applications.The final section of the book covers the design of ventilation systems, including the principles of air circulation and the different types of ventilation systems that can be used in mines.Throughout the book, Ketchum provides detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts and principles he discusses.
