The performance of a roadheader in high strength rock formations in excavations. The main rock formation is limestone 72% having In recent years the appli ion of roadheaders in hard
High excavation-induced stress concentration and strong mining/tunneling disturbance are prominent conditions in deep excavations and often present a coupled process to induce rockbursts. This study aims to reproduce and shed light on the rockburst process triggered by hard rock fragmentation using a conical pick.

30 m of the advancing drift excavation heading. This would ensure no delays to subsequent work activities once the drifts were complete. The final drift construction methodology proceeded with the major excavation equipment comprising of a Mitsui S200MA roadheader combined with an integrated ground support system. It was further concluded that
Hard rock excavation by roadheaders presents an interesting alternative to mechanical excavation methods or conventional drill and blast excavation. The very low vibration emissions and precise profile of a roadheader excavation may effectively contribute especially to projects with sensible infrastructure in the vicinity.
Tunnel excavation using roadheaders is widespread and popular due to the high precision and relative cost effectiveness of mobilising the equipment and especially when dealing with soft to medium strength rock as the equipment is able to excavate without weakening the surrounding structure.
MR361 roadheader is an electro-hydraulic part-face cutting machine designed for roadway development and mineral production in coal rock gypsum potash and salt and metal mining. The special attachments and wide array of options such as an integrated swivel chain conveyor coupled with high tramming speed for relo ion make it ideal
Mechanical excavation with roadheader EBZ160TY was trialed at work face with hard rock and high ground stress. Work procedure and performance of the roadheader were recorded and analyzed. The results showed that roadheader EBZ160TY with designed excavating strength of 80 MPa presented amazingly good performance in hard rock with strength of
Rock excavation with roadheaders does in fact provide unique chances especially for underground excavation in urban areas with harsh limitations regarding handling of explosives or noise and vibration emissions. A roadheader will allow excavation with minimum vibration emission and precise profiling of the contour.
Under the gentle disturbance of roadheader excavation the high ground stress brings the surrounding rock mass to deform into yield and lets the stress/strain energy transform into fracture energy of rock fragmentation.

During the last few years in mechanical excavation problems have occured also connected with the accurate prediction of excavation performance and tool wear in soft and hard rock. Every now and again problems have been encountered leading to high bit consumption and low cutting performance of roadheaders.
Excavation-induced high stress can cause pre-fracturing in rock to release stress and dissipate elastic energy storage inducing the formation of an EDZ around a pillar after excavations to prepare and cut entryways perpendicular to each other.
ABSTRACT: Hard rock excavation by roadheaders presents an interesting alternative to mechanical excavation methods or conventional drill and blast excavation. The very low vibration emissions and precise profile of a roadheader excavation may effectively contribute especially to projects with sensible infrastructure in the vicinity.
