Abstract

The technology provides increased capability and control over the yield performance of the timber prop, a mine roof support. The new Wedge Prop design includes a cut pattern idealized for the specific wood species used in manufacturing and a set of confinement rings varying in strength due to different failure mechanisms. The cut pattern is based on the diameter of the yellow poplar pole, while the confinement rings consist of multiple types of welds to allow for either wire tensile failure or for weld detachment. The cut pattern can be combined in conjunction with various combinations of confinement rings to allow for precise control over the performance of the Wedge Prop in the Propsetter System.
