Determination of main vertical ore-lift shaft location in two planes

Abstract

A method of determination of main vertical ore-lift shaft location considering the difference between freight traffics is presented. The method is based on the rule of academician L D Shevyakov: “When freights are concentrating on one line and considering the minimum transportation work the main vertical ore-lift shaft must be located in a place of concentrating of this freight. If this freight would be summed with all the freights from the left, the result would be more than the freights from the right. If this freight would be summed with all the freights from the right, the result would be more than the freights from the left”.
