... ABSTRACT : Even though pillars were 88 feet square and only 8 feet high, with entries 32 feet wide to give an extraction ratio of only 46%, the standard room-and-pillar layout at depths in excess of 2,500 feet resulted in undesirable roof conditions. A plan was conceived for using small...

... rooms up to 56 feet in height (17.1 meters). The extraction ratio of the mine is approximately 78 to 80 percent. Due to many different factors, the pillars at Fletcher experienced deterioration in the form of continual surface spalling to splitting. Convergence of the mine, as measured by numerous rod...
