May 22, 2020· Smallscale mining of surface deposits dates back thousands of years. For example, in Roman Britain, the Romans were exploiting most of the major coalfields by the late 2nd century AD..

In most cases, smallscale physical models (usually less than 1 : 100) were developed because of the large dimensions of the longwall mining profile. The smallscale models are capable of simulating fracturing and ground movements of roof strata from a globalscale view, but it is very difficult to illustrate the complex fracture process in the
