Objective The main aim of the Project is to develop improved tools for the design of coal mine support systems and layouts. Three groups of tools are to be developed, namely:a) Numerical modelling techniques which can be applied to the study of dynamic rock behaviour, such as rock bursts, and the design of support systems in complex geometries, using 3D strain-softening models. New constitutive models will be developed where necessary.b) A rock-bolting system design method based upon rock classification, andc) A seismic method for predicting ground conditions ahead of an advancing tunnel so as to allow dynamic, pro-active support variation.
