Excerpt from Steel Structures for Mines: Thesis for Degree of Civil Engineer
By head works is meant the structure placed get the mouth of the shaft that supports the sheaves, hoisting gear, etc. Where the sheaves are supported by a frame, the head works is called a Head Frame of Gallows Frame, and where the sheave is placed at the top of an enclosed structure, it is called a Shaft House or Rock House.
The Head Frame sometimes supports ore bins: while the Shaft House contains screens, bins, rock Crushers, etc. The first frames were usually built by ordinary carpenters who had no idea of the amount or direction of the stresses that members should be designed to take, and as a consequence many interesting structures are seen.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides compelling insights into the use of steel for constructing mining structures, highlighting its growing popularity over the previous decades. Amidst rising costs of traditional building materials, steel was found to be competitive or even more economical for various mining structures, including headframes, mill buildings, and mine buildings. The author discusses in detail the evolution of steel frame designs, including braced tower, "A" type, and inclined shaft styles, tracing their development from basic wooden frames to the complex steel frames used in the late 19th century. The author provides practical guidance on designing steel headframes, exploring various factors such as load capacity, wind pressure, and stresses on members. They also present case studies of several significant steel mine structures, offering valuable insights into their design, construction, and performance.
