Effort and safety factor in the unions of wooden structures used as carbon mine sustainability, mine case Baseli, Colombia

Abstract

The research has been dedicated to the study of the calculation of the stresses and design conditions given by the safety factor of operation of the structural members of the mines that use wood as their main support material. Wood is a lightweight material, easily transportable and easily handled in ademe systems [1]. For this case, the structural member that is analyzed is the union between the column and the beam of the mine doors, known as the German door. For the development of the study, the geometry of standard doors commonly found in coal mining has been taken into account. The reason for the research on the proposed topic stems from the need to have a secure control over the structural sustainability of the mines, since the use and possible deterioration of the wood under operating conditions and in the mining environment is very important for human safety.
