This document discusses roof support in underground coal mines. There are two main types of roof support: intrinsic supports like roof bolts that are installed within the roof, and standing supports like timber props that are installed between the roof and floor. Timber supports are commonly used in Indian coal mines due to low cost and availability, though metal supports offer higher load capacity. A case study examines how roof bolts were used with a specific layout and spacing in the Tandshi coal mine in India. Proper roof support is necessary to prevent roof collapse and protect miners from rock falls.

EXCAVATION FOR FOUNDATION - Methods & Temporary Earth Retaining StructuresShivananda Roy
Generally excavation means to loosen and take out materials leaving space above or below ground. Sometimes in civil engineering term earthwork is used which include back-filling with new or original materials to voids, spreading and leveling over an area.
Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquakes.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.

▪ INTRODUCTION
▪ NEED FOR SUPPORT
▪ TYPES OF SUPPORT
▪ STANDING SUPPORT
▪ INTRINSIC SUPPORT
▪ CASE STUDY
▪ REFERENCES
3. INTRODUCTION
▪ Every underground mine can be subjected to roof failure.
▪ It has been the major cause for fatalities to mine workers across
the world.
▪ Therefore, roof supports are used to stabilize the roof.
▪ Roof supports include both intrinsic supports, such as roof bolts,
and standing supports, such as timber.
▪ They interact with the ground to create a stable rock structure.
4. WHY ARE SUPPORTS NEEDED?
▪ To prevent major collapses of mine roof.
▪ To protect miners from small rock falls that can occur from the
immediate roof skin.
▪ To prevent deformation of mine openings for access, escape
and ventilation of mine workings.
▪ To safeguard expensive machines used in mines.
5. TYPES OF SUPPORT
▪ Intrinsic support –The supporting system in which the
elements are installed within the roof.
e.g. – roof bolt, cable bolts, metal pins etc.
▪ Standing support –The supporting system in which the
elements are installed between the roof and floor.
e.g. – wooden logs, metal rods, steel arches etc.
7. TIMBER SUPPORTS
▪ Timber supports are very common in Indian coal mines as it is
cheap and easily available.
▪ Over 90% of underground coal output comes from timber
supported workings.
▪ The kind of wood used as support in Indian coal mines are sal
wood, teak wood, sankhon wood etc.
▪ Timber supports can be:Timber Props,Timber Bars and
Wooden chocks
8. TIMBER PROPS
▪ The timber prop is strongest when the load acts parallel to its
length.
▪ In flat seams the prop is erected vertical, and in vertical seams,
the axis of the prop should be normal to the dip of the seam.
10. TIMBER BARS
▪ Bars act as beams.
▪ If the sides are weak, the bar is placed on vertical props.
▪ The bar should always be tight against the roof and should offer
maximum area of contact against it.
▪ The side of the bar towards the roof is chopped flat for this
purpose.
12. WOODEN CHOCKS
▪ A chock, cog or chockmate is a combination of sleepers above one
another in a criss-cross manner.
▪ It supports a much larger stretch than a prop and is used in places
where the roof is bad over a wide area and needs a substantial
support.
▪ They are also erected where main roadways have to pass through
area having coal pillars of inadequate size.
14. PROS AND CONS OF TIMBER SUPPORTS
▪ Advantages:
They are relatively cheaper.
They are easily available.
They can be cut easily into desired length.
They give early warnings when they swallow.
▪ Disadvantages:
The resistance offered by timber is not uniform. Hence, it is difficult to standardise the
design of support system.
They may have inherent defects which will reduce the load bearing capacity considerably.
The yield of timber is relatively low.
15. METAL SUPPORTS
▪ Iron and steel have been used in mines in the form of rigid and
yielding props, beams and girders, reinforcement in concrete
and corrugated sheets.
▪ FRICTION PROPS
▪ HYDRAULIC PROPS
▪ POWERED SUPPORTS
▪ STEEL BARS
16. FRICTION PROPS
▪ They are early bearing props and accept the roof and load very
quickly.
▪ They have constant load yield characteristics.
▪ Friction props were adopted on longwall face with sand stowing
first time in Chinakuri colliery.
17.
18. HYDRAULIC PROPS
▪ A hydraulic prop is simply a hydraulic jack.
▪ They have been used at longwall mechanised faces in our
country.
▪ A hydraulic prop can be set to take immediately 3/4th of the
maximum load but when overloaded it will yield at the designed
load after which the resistance is uniform.
20. PROS AND CONS OF METAL SUPPORTS
▪ Advantages:
They can be easily re-used.
They have high load carrying capacity.
▪ Disadvantages:
They are relatively more expensive than timber supports.
They do not give early warning signs as timber.
They can get corroded due to moisture and mine water.
21. ▪ Powered supports enables the cutting machine to be used in full
capacity as they can be moved forward fast enough to keep
pace with any modern face cutter.
▪ Thus, they enable rapid advance of the face which in turn brings
about improvement in roof conditions at the face.
POWERED SUPPORT
22. SELF – ADVANCING OR WALKING SUPPORT
▪ These are open circuit type hydraulic chocks which, when
already erected at a place, can be retracted by hydraulic
pressure, pushed to the new site of erection by hydraulic
shifting cylinders and erected by hydraulic pressure
▪ A workman is not required to handle the supports during any of
its processes, except for guiding the roof bars supported by the
hydraulic props.
▪ The self-advancing supports are used in coal mines on prop-free
front of longwall faces and were introduced first time in India in
Moonidih colliery, BCCL.
23.
24. SHIELD SUPPORT
▪ The shield supports provides a continuous cover all along the
face by canopies placed side by side.
▪ It is like a multi-leg hydraulic chock support except for a little
difference in construction at the rear side, i.e., goaf side.
▪ The shield supports are with four legs which react directly with
the canopy.
▪ It is suitable for sub-level caving in thick seams or for
conventional operations in longwall faces.
25.
26. STEEL ARCHES
▪ They are used for supporting permanent and semi-permanent
roadways.
▪ Heavy section rails in two parts are suitably shaped to form an
inverted U when assembled together.
▪ They have no yielding property.
▪ To keep arches in contact with the roof and sides wooden
laggings are placed on top and sides.
29. ROOF BOLTING
▪ Roof bolting is the practice of drilling vertical holes in the roof and
fixing steel bolts into the in a manner that the bolts grip the strata
and support the immediate roof.
▪ The bolted roof strata behave as one thick seam capable of
supporting not only their own weight ut the weight of the strata
above them.
▪ They are of two types:
1) Slot and wedge
2) Expansion shell
30.
31. PROS AND CONS OF ROOF BOLTING
Advantages:
▪ It is simple to apply, easy to mechanise and moderately cheap in
cost.
▪ It gives greater headroom and clearance in the roadway.
▪ Storage space required is small.
Disadvantages:
▪ It can not be applied in all cases.
▪ It gives no warning signs of impending failure.
▪ Some types of bolts are not recoverable. e.g. slot and wedge bolt
32. ROOF STITCHING
▪ The principle of roof stitching is the same as that for roof bolting,
i.e., the immediate rocks are held together as a composite stratum of
large thickness.
▪ Roof stitching was adopted in coal mines as well as metal mines at
Balaghat and Seetharama mica mine. It cannot be used in mines
where roof condition deteriorates immediately after blasting.
▪ This method of support is both effective and cheap.
33.
34. CASE STUDY OF TANDSI MINE, WCL
▪ Rock Mass Rating(RMR) = 44-64
▪ Roof was supported by roof bolts up to 1.5 m length
▪ Gallery width = 4.5 m
▪ The roof bolts were installed such that there were 3 bolts in each row.
▪ The bolts had a spacing of 1.5 m from each other and 0.75 m from the
pillar.
▪ One of the bolts was drilled vertically. And the other two were drilled
inclined in such a way that they went into the pillar there by
supporting the overburden pressure.
