DETERMINATION OF THE RATIONAL LENGTH OF THE BLOCK ALONG THE STRIKE FOR EXPANSION TO PROVIDE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY IN THE WORKING OF THE MEDIUM THICK IN-CLINED COAL SEAMS WITH THE ROOM AND PILLAR SYSTEM IN THE QUANG NINH COAL BASIN

Abstract

An analysis of the constraints that apply the technology and the complexities of the mining and geological conditions of the Quang Ninh coal basin. The possi-bility and expediency of using the foreign experience of working out of the me-dium thick inclined coal seams in the mines of Vietnam. The scheme of prepara-tion and working out of the excavation area is given in view of the technological features in difficult mining and geological conditions, using the room and pillar system and determination of the rational length of the block along the strike.
