Excerpt from The Design of Mine Structures
The aim in writing this book has been to present a systematic dis cassion of the design of mine structures. While the design of head works for mines is given the principal place, the design of buildings, bins, coal washers and breakers, etc., is discussed as fully as the limited space permits. In the design of mine structures it is necessary that the structural engineer be familiar with the operation of mines and with various preparatory processes for ore and coal. The discussion of the operation of mines has been limited to the purpose of the structural engineer, and the design of hoists and other machinery has not been considered.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a structured study of the design of structures used in underground mining operations, with a particular focus on head frames. These frames are vital for hoisting ore and coal and for supporting various preparatory processes. The design of these structures requires knowledge of the mining operation, hoisting methods, and treatment of materials. As such, the book begins with an overview of mining and hoisting systems before moving into the calculation of stresses in simple head frames and statically indeterminate head frames. Design of head frames and other structures such as coal tipples is discussed, along with details of their construction and cost. This book not only compiles years of experience in the field of mine structure design but also serves as a useful supplement to the author's previous publications on steel mill design and the design of retaining walls and grain elevators. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
