About This Special Issue
Coal is the essential energy resources in the whole world. How to mine underground coal safely is a tough issue which is worth to study in depth. Roadway/gateroad and mining stope are the main research aim in this special issue. Considering the non-homogeneity and anisotropic nature of coal measure strata, methodology of numerical simulation and lab experiment is preferred. Original research papers are solicited in any aspect of innovative coal mining engineering.

Aims and Scope:

1. Roadway/gateroad support design;
2. Roadway/gateroad location design in multi-seam mining;
3. Mine plan design;
4. Mining stope design;
5. Coal measure strata (roof/floor strata) behaviours study;
6. Improve multi-seam mining technology.
