9781332778102: The Design of Mine Structures (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

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.
