It is a hybrid numerical and empirical method called gateroad roo

GRSM defines suggested roof support densities by linking a rock-mass classification with an index of mining-induced stress, using a large empirical database of Bowen Basin mining experience. Inherent in the de

Coal mine roof rating（CMRR）is an established and robust coal industry standard, while the geological strength index（GSI）may also be used to determine rock-mass geomechanical properties.An elastic three-dimensio

Equations to calculate stress index derived from the numerical modelling have been developed. An industry standard method of quantifying roof support is adopted as a

The position of the mathematically determined stable/failed boundary in the design charts can be changed depending

In Central Queenslands Bowen Basin, immediate gateroad roof lithology varies from coal to weak interlaminated mater

Typically, longwall mines in the Bowen Basin have specified gateroad roof support based on past practice. Modifications to gateroad

Current gateroad support design approaches have limitations, which have restricted their applicability and adoption as mine site design tools.A prototype for an improved gateroad support design method
9、ology has been developed that is integrated and systematic, based on rock engineering principals, but requires engineering judgement and experience 1. There were several broad objectives for the design methodology. A consistent and unambiguous definition of strata conditions and behaviour was requir

The method had to provide design calculations and justification for compliance and statutory purposes, and could serve as a frame work for a mine strata management system. Mine site support designers must be able to readily use the metho

Current roof support design methods for longwall gateroadsNumerous roof support design methods have been proposed over the years, but none have gained widespread acceptance by the coal mining industry
12、2. There are empirical databases, some proprietary, based on industry practice, which specify gateroad primary and secondary support densities, using a statistical approach 3,4. Analytical methods are not appropriate when rock-mass yield due to high mining induced stresses occurs, but may be applica

The application of complex post-yield numerical modelling in the design process for excavation support is valid although contentious, and requires a more comprehensive justification and better industry understanding of its strength and limitations 6. The
