A panel of 30 rooms in a room and pillar coal mine is to be driven from a set of three room entries connecting to panel entries.The rooms are driven 20 ft (6 m) wide on 50-ft (15-m) centers and are 300 ft (90 m) in length. Room entries are 15 ft (4.5 m) in width on 50-ft ( 15-m) centers. Crosscuts between both rooms and entries are placed on 100-ft (30-ft) centers. A barrier pillar 50 ft (15 m) in width will be left on three sides on the panel. A sketch of the mining panel in each of the following cases: a. No pillar recovery b. Recovery of room and entry pillars c. Room width increased to 30 ft (9 m), with timbering, and no pillar recovery
