Description:"Task 4 examines the effect of a methane explosion on the dynamics of three miner's refuge chambers. This will help provide an initial understanding of the robustness of these chambers under possible mine emergency conditions. Specifically, the objectives for Sub Tasks 1 and 2 of Task 4 are as follows: 1. Determine the magnitude and type of possible motion for all three structures as a function of linear distance from the explosion; 2. Determine the anchorage forces required to limit or prohibit any motions determined in #1 above for all three structures." - p. 1
