Mining Product: Ground Control Software Toolbar
Original creation date: August 2005
The Ground Control Software Toolbar installs and provides quick access to seven NIOSH ground control software packages.
These packages include:
- Analysis of Longwall Pillar Stability (ALPS)
- Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability (ARMPS)
- Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR)
- Analysis of Roof Bolt Systems (ARBS)
- Analysis of Horizontal Stress Effects in Mining (AHSM)
- Analysis of Multiple Seam Stability (AMSS)
- Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability - Highwall Mining (ARMPS-HWM)
The download file is a self-extracting executable which will automatically run a setup program. Installing the Ground Control Toolbar will also install the following NIOSH Ground Control analysis packages: Analysis of Horizontal Stress Effects in Mining (AHSM), Analysis of Longwall Pillar Stability (ALPS), Analysis of Roof Bolt Systems (ARBS), Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability (ARMPS), Coal Mine Roof Rating (CMRR), Analysis of Retreat Mining Pillar Stability - Highwall Mining (ARMPS-HWM), Analysis of Multiple Seam Stability (AMSS). These packages can also be downloaded individually.
