It is continuously changing and evolving, with new techniques, technology, equipment, and face management practices and systems appearing for the purposes of improving aspects such as operational and financial performances and, above all, the safety of the miners. Despite its importance, there are no regulations for the mining of longwall coal seams. This work aims to contribute to an advance in the design and optimisation of the roof support in longwall mining, analysing the stability of the roof using a method based on the resistance of materials, which considers the characteristics of the properties of the roof materials. The influence of not only the individual elements of support but also the coalface, which is considered one more supporting element, is investigated. The longitudinal and transverse spacings of the support and the number of walkways constituting the exploitation panel are analysed. The proposed formulation is validated by information gathered in a mine located in the region of Castilla-Leon.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/859803","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,28]],"date-time":"2013-08-28T21:08:03Z","timestamp":1377724083000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Longwall Mining Stability in Take-Off Phase"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda-Bel\u00e9n","family":"Prendes-Gero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Construction and Manufacture Engineering, Polytechnic School of Mieres, University of Oviedo, Mieres, 33600 Asturias, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Alcalde-Gonzalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Exploitation and Prospecting Mines, Mining Engineering School, University of Oviedo, Oviedo, 33004 Asturias, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Ram\u00edrez-Oyanguren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Exploitation Mines, Polytechnic University of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco-Jos\u00e9","family":"Su\u00e1rez-Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Construction and Manufacture Engineering, Polytechnic School of Mieres, University of Oviedo, Mieres, 33600 Asturias, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martina-Inmaculada","family":"\u00c1lvarez-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Exploitation and Prospecting Mines, Mining Engineering School, University of Oviedo, Oviedo, 33004 Asturias, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0301-4215(00)00042-2"},{"key":"5","year":"1969"},{"key":"6","year":"1995"},{"key":"9","year":"2011"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09208119608964830"},{"key":"12","first-page":"340","volume-title":"Longwall mining","year":"2010"},{"issue":"4","key":"13","first-page":"114","volume":"50","year":"2002","journal-title":"Journal of Mines, Metals and Fuels"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1008853914726"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijrmms.2012.09.006"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coal.2008.04.002"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coal.2007.10.001"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.engfailanal.2009.03.025"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coal.2008.01.007"},{"key":"20","year":"1970"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1016788903660"}],"container-title":["Journal of Applied Mathematics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2013\/859803.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2013\/859803.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2013\/859803.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,19]],"date-time":"2016-08-19T03:02:51Z","timestamp":1471575771000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jam\/2013\/859803\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":15,"alternative-id":["859803","859803"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/859803","relation":{},"ISSN":["1110-757X","1687-0042"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1110-757X","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-0042","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
