Abstract | First roof weighting interval in mechanized longwall mining is related directly to the applied loads on support system and thus, has important role on stability, safety, and continuity of operation. This paper presents an innovative approach based on cavability of immediate roof to estimate first roof weighting interval. Nine inherent parameters of roof strata and its surrounding environment which affect caving process were taken into account to develop a classification system, incorporating fuzzy hybrid multi criteria decision-making technique. Roof Strata Cavability index (RSCi) was defined as summation of ratings for all parameters. Subsequently, the relationship between RSCi and extracted volume until the first caving moment (i.e. the extraction height× panel width × first roof weighting interval) was determined using linear and non-linear regression models. Models were proposed and validated using the actual field data collected from different longwall panels around the world. Results indicated that the quadratic polynomial model gave a better performance in the estimation of first roof weighting interval, compared to the other models. It was concluded that the proposed approach is an accurate and flexible tool to estimate first roof weighting interval in longwall mining. |
