La méthode de la tranche horizontale unidescendante [en anglais : «top slicing»] avec foudroyage est utilisée dans les couches de charbon fragile, épaisses et de forte pente. On exploite des tranches horizontales successives d'environ 3 m d'épaisseur dans l'ordre descendant, chaque tranche passant sous les éboulis de foudroyage de la tranche précédente. 2, record 1, French, - tranche%20horizontale

Les méthodes de tranches remblayées s'appliquent aux gisements dont la dimension selon la verticale est importante (filons, couches en dressants et parfois amas) : le minerai est abattu (et évacué) par tranches horizontales de 3 à 4 m de hauteur. Avant de passer à une tranche suivante, le vide créé est remblayé; la tranche suivante peut être au-dessus (tranches montantes remblayées, où le remblai sert de plancher de travail) ou au-dessous (tranches descendantes sous remblai). 3, record 1, French, - tranche%20horizontale
