of underground coal mining in the Western United States appears to be the implementa-tion of longwall mining techniques developed in Europe. Although longwall mining is used virtually exclusively to produce coal from un-derground mines in Europe, it accounts for only 5 percent of annual underground coal production in the United States. Longwall sys-

COAL MINING METHODS Underground coal mining methods are classified according to the method of ground control (an excellent description of all methods is provided in M. Cassidy, Ed., Elements of Practical Coal Mining, New York: American Institute of Mining Engineers, 1973) as either room and pillar or longwall (shortwall is considered a variation of longwall in this discussion).

The designs of water retaining structures used in underground mines in Australia coal mines are summarised as: 1. Shotcrete bulkheads or slabs (notched or keyed). 2. Plug type structures using a high yield grout such as FB200 or Tekblend. 3. Polyurethane and aggregate core bulkheads using dry stack concrete block containment walls. 4.
