Question: Consider the geologic column and properties given in Table 5.1 for entries developed on strike at a depth of 1,450 ft (442 m) in strata

Consider the geologic column and properties given in Table 5.1 for entries developed on strike at a depth of 1,450 ft (442 m) in strata dipping 8?. Determine the potential for bed separation in the roof rock, that is, find any separation horizons. Mining height is 12 ft (3.7 m).
