In room pillar mining coal deposits are mined by cutting a network of rooms into the coal seam and leaving behind pillars of coal to support the roof of the mine These pillars could volume up to 40% of the total coal in the seam although this coal can sometimes be recovered at a
Pillars act as a natural support to the roof and transfer the overburden load to the floor Thus in this method a significant amount of coal is locked in the pillars and unless depillaring is carried out that amount of coal will be lost However in Indian coal mines Bord and pillar method is the most popular and is followed in majority of underground coal mines The design practice for
