Sinossi

Master the design of mine structures with this authoritative reference. This comprehensive guide covers the full range of mine buildings, from head works and head frames to coal tipples, rock houses, and shaft houses. Rich with data, calculations, and worked examples, it helps engineers plan safe, efficient, cost‑effective facilities for mining operations.

The book combines theory and practice, showing how to evaluate loads, calculate stresses, and design steel, timber, and concrete structures. It explains methods for simple and indeterminate frames, discusses wind and snow effects, and provides detailed specifications and data you can apply directly to real projects. Although written for professional engineers, the text is accessible to students who have completed a course in applied mechanics and statics.


  • Learn the types and roles of head works, including head frames, rock houses, and coal tipples.

  • Understand how to analyze stresses in simple and statically indeterminate frames.

  • Explore the design of mine buildings, roof trusses, frames, foundations, and related components.

  • Access practical specifications, data, and worked examples to inform real‑world projects.



Ideal for engineers, construction professionals, and students involved in mine design and the structural aspects of mining operations.
