LTCC remains a seldom used method for mining high seams efficiently and ecologically with sustainable use of deposits.
2011 Underground Coal Operators’ Conference The AusIMM Illawarra Branch 10 11 February 2011 29 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR LONGWALL TOP COAL CAVING AT AUSTAR COAL MINE Adrian Moodie1and James Anderson ABSTRACT: Austar Coal Mine has had a long association with difficult strata control conditions associated with depth of mining and a highly jointed/cleated coal
1. Introduction. Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) can provide substantially less economic sensitivity and a reduced level of technical risk over other thick seam mining methods. 1 A reliable evaluation of LTCC's applicability at the feasibility stage of a new mining project is therefore of importance to the effective and productive extraction of thick coal seams.

The caving process may be repeated at the same position (secondary caving) if further coal is present before the rear conveyor is finally advanced forward under the rear of the support ready for the next shearer cycle. Depending on the conditions in the mine various caving sequences are employed to maximise the top coal recovery.
A 3D particle-based numerical approach to simulate the longwall top coal caving (LTCC) process was proposed, which for the first time the effect of continuous support advance and the face-end support were considered. The shape of drawing body and top coal boundary and the distribution characteristics of coal loss were analysed.
Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) is a modified longwall mining method for efficient extraction of the thick coal seams. The major difference between LTCC and the traditional longwall method is the extraction of the caved coal from behind the shields as well as the sheared face ().The method has been widely implemented by the Chinese coal industry with numerous modifications and improvements.
Longwall top-coal caving technology has developed rapidly in China, in recent years. The application of longwall top-coal caving can double both the productivity and the efficiency of a working face and reduce the cost of production by 30 to 50%. Using standard longwall equipment, annual production
