Abstract: Most of the large and medium-sized mines in China, especially those located in cold regions, are using shaft towers as shaft hoisting systems. The shaft tower, however, is one of the most important industrial structures in the production of coal mine. From the perspectives of the layout, the overall structural analysis and the fundamental design of the main shaft tower system in Tarangaole Mine, with further reference to the practical design and construction experience, this paper introduces some key points and considerations concerned with the main shaft tower design, and is intended to provide design parameters and experience for the construction of the shaft tower on a foundation of freezing-thawing soil by artificial rapid thawing, and give reference and assistance for the design of the main shaft tower in coal mines.
