• Description:
  The 35th ICGCM was held on July 26-28, 2016 in Morgantown, WV. Each Conference was well-attended by the domestic and international community and more than 40 peer-reviewed papers were presented at each event. While not every paper submitted, approved and peer-review was presented, due to time limitations, all of the papers are published in a hard copy proceedings. More than 1600 papers have been published at the two events since the modest beginning 1981. A special session was held at the Conference in Morgantown WV this year that was dedicated to ground control mining practices in China. This year's conference in Morgantown, WV covered an extensive range of subjects including numerical modeling, instrumentation design tools, rib stability, support performance, operator case studies, pillar design, subsidence and fundamental studies. As in past years the papers presented during the Support Performance Assessments session generated a good deal of discussion both, during the formal presentation session, and continuing during the breaks. The engineering analyses and ultimately the value of the assessments for controlling the behavior of ground is an interesting topic and worthy of additional discussion and study. Each of the papers was noteworthy and the analysis and interpretation of the data was thoughtful and provided information that will be useful for future consideration. Twenty-five of the papers were selected for publication in this special issue on ground control in mining in International Journal of Mining Science and Technology. All other papers from this year's (and previous years) conference can be found on the International Conference on Ground Control in Mining's website (http:// icgcm.conferenceacademy.com/papers/allpapers.aspx). More than 80 abstracts were received for this year's Conference and after peer-review by the Organizing Committee. Each paper selected for final publication was peer-reviewed by several researchers with expertise in the specific area. We hope this special issue will provide useful references for engineers worldwide and for researchers and scholars in the field of ground control. [Description provided by NIOSH]
