Subsidence and Roof Stability Analyses for the Extraction and in Situ Processing of Fossil Fuels

摘要

In the late 1970's, a Coal Mine Subsidence R and D Program was initiated at Sandia national Laboratories for the US DOE. The objective of this program was to develop the capability to predict surface subsidence above coal mines as a function of the mine plan and the geologic setting. As this research progressed, its scope was expanded to encompass strata motions associated with the in situ extraction of fossil fuels. Based on this expanded role, the title of the R and D program was changed to Simulations of Gravity Driven Processes. The program is now being sponsored by DOE/APT. A comprehensive bibliography of the publications produced by this program and synergistic studies at Sandia is included. The bibliography is grouped by topics. The last section of the bibliography is devoted to other relevant references. 92 refs., 54 figs., 7 tabs. (ERA citation 11:021924)
