Popis: This study of the strength and deformation of coal samples was triggered by the need to define the stress–strain characteristics of pillars during room and pillar mining in the shaft protective pillar at the ČSM Mine. It was probably the world’s deepest deployment of this mining method in a coal mine. In order to solve the bearing capacity of pillars, the dependence of coal strength on the slenderness ratio is used. For this reason, coal samples with different slenderness ratios were investigated. After considering the purpose of this research, slenderness ratios (width/height) of 1 to 7.7 were chosen. At the same time, the modulus of deformation as a function of the slenderness ratio was determined, and the vertical deformation of the pillars and the safety factor were calculated. Attention is also paid to the influence of sampling on the results of measured coal strengths.
