SHORT TERM COURSE ON TRENDS IN STRATA CONTROL TECHNIQUES AND INSTRUMENTATION FOR ENHANCING SAFETY IN COAL MINES
28th - 31st JULY, 2008
INTRODUCTION
During the 10th National Conference of safety in Mines held at New Delhi during 26-27th Nov, 2007 it was recommended that each coal mining company, shall establish a STRATA CONTROL CELL at corporate and area levels within a period of one year, to assist mine managers, for formulation of Systematic Support Rules, monitoring strata control measures in a scientific way to ensure efficacy of support system and for procurement/supply of quality supporting materials. Unscientific monitoring of coal mining strata has resulted in number of fatal and serious bodily injuries to miners and loss of production from time to time. This issue can be addressed by proper monitoring of strata and taking adequate control measures in time. Geotechnical instrumentation although has been extensively used in the coal mines, still there is no standard procedures for undertaking the investigations as well as type of instrumentation for monitoring the strata behaviour. Over the years, geotechnical instrumentation and strata control technologies have undergone considerable change and it is pertinent that the field engineers must be trained in the state of the art instrumentation for effective implementation of the strata control measures in coal mines.
SCOPE OF THE COURSE
The course has been structured to include the recent trends in geotechnical instrumentation and strata control technologies for application in coal mines. It is also aimed at updating and upgrading the conceptual and applied knowledge of the participants in the thrust area. In this course, special emphasis will be made on numerical modeling, advanced instruments, strata control techniques besides case studies on typical strata control problems.
It is expected that the participants from academic institutions, R&D organizations, safety organizations as well as professional engineers will be highly benefited by the course.
COURSE CONTENTS
Geological factors contributing to strata control problems in mines
Status of safety in coal mines vis-à-vis strata control problems
Geomechanics classification of rocks

FACULTY
The course will be offered by the faculty members of NIT Rourkela. Experts from other academic institutions, Central Institute for Mining and Fuel Research, Directorate General of Mines Safety, Dhanbad, National Institute of rock mechanics, Kolar Gold Fields will be invited to share their latest research findings with the participants.
REGISTRATION AND FEE PARTICULARS
Applications in prescribed format and the course fee in the form of a cheque/demand draft drawn in favour of “Continuing Education, NIT Rourkela” payable at any bank in Roukela must reach the coordinator on or before 30th June, 2008.
COURSE FEE : Rs. 5000
Boarding, lodging and travel expenses shall be borne by the participants. Accommodation will be provided in Visitor’s House on Twin-sharing basis on prior request. The selected participants will be informed by 10th July, 2008.
