Evaluation and design of optimum support systems in South African collieries using the probabilistic design approach
This thesis addresses the problem of designing roof support systems in coal mines. When designing the roof support, it is necessary to account for the uncertainties that are inherently exist within the rock mass and support elements. The performance of a support system is affected by these uncertain...
