Purpose.  The published studies are aimed at determining the mechanism of deformation of the rocks of the contour around the workings in terms of the parameters of the emerging fracturing and their dependence on the indicators of the strength of the rocks and the depth of occurrence in the massif. The tasks of the study include the installation of fracture indicators, the determination of the parameters of the development of the deformation process around the working, including the effect of longwall mining and taking into account the possibility of reuse of the workings. Methodology. To solve the set tasks, the method of field observations was used together with the use of regression dependencies to determine the dependences of the parameters on the influencing factors. In addition, the method of full-scale pull-out tests of anchor support was used, which made it possible to determine the clamping forces of the anchors. Originality. In the course of the research, the dependences of stresses and deformation along the K7 coal seam in the conditions of the mine named after Kuzembaev CD JSC "ArcelorMittal Temirtau" for the massif around the mine with fastening. Rational parameters for the use of roof bolting in preparatory mine workings have been established. This type of fastening provides direct contact between rocks and lining. Analysis of the results of calculating the parameters of the roof bolting showed that to maintain the roof in the development workings, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of the roof bolting. The main parameters include the length of the anchors, the total resistance of the roof bolting and the density of the anchors. Anchor support forms laminated rock beams in the roof rocks, which ensure the stability of the workings. Conclusions and practical significance. The results of studies devoted to the establishment of the influence of mining-geological and mining-technical factors on the formation of zones of inelastic deformation in the host rocks were considered. Significant dependences of the deformation processes of rocks in the massif around the workings were obtained, and the parabolic zone of destruction of rocks was determined. The practical significance of the research consists in determining the actual indicators of the required bearing capacity of the anchorage at two levels in the conditions of the development of the coal seam k7 of the Kuzembaev mine.

Purpose. Substantiation of expediency and admissibility of use of the simplified calculation models of a coal seam roof for an estimation of its stability under the action of external loadings. Methods. To achieve this purpose, the studies have been performed using the basic principles of the theory of elasticity and bending of plates, in which the coal seam roof is represented as a model of a rectangular plate or a beam with a symmetrical cross-section with different support conditions. Results. To substantiate and select methods for studying the bending deformations of the roof in the coal massif containing the maingates, the three-dimensional base plate model and the beam model are compared, taking into account the kinematic boundary conditions and the influence of external distributed load. Using the theory of plate bending, the equations for determining the deflections of the coal seam roof in three-dimensional basic models under certain assumptions have a large dimension. After the conditional division of the plate into beams of unit width and symmetrical section, when describing the normal deflections of the middle surface of the studied models, the transition from the partial derivative equation to the usual differential equations is carried out. In this case, the studies of bending deformations of roof rocks are reduced to solving a flat problem in the cross-section of the beam. A comparison of solutions obtained by the methods of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity and strength of materials was performed. For a beam with a symmetrical section, the deflection lies in a plane whose angle of inclination coincides with the direction of the applied load. The calculations did not take into account the difference between the intensity of the surface load applied to the beam. Differences in determining the magnitude of the deflections of the roof in the model of the plate concerning the model of the beam reach 5%, which is acceptable for mining problems. Scientific novelty. To study the bending deformations and determine the magnitude of the roof deflection in models under external uniform distributed load, placed within the simulated plate, a strip of unit width was selected, which has a symmetrical cross-section and is a characteristic component of the plate structure and it is considered as a separate load-bearing element with supports, the cross-sections of this element is remained flat when bending. The deflection of such a linear element is described by the differential equations of the bent axis of the beam without taking into account the integral stiffness of the model, and the vector of its complete displacement coincides with the vector of the force line. Practical significance. In the laboratory, to study the bending deformations and their impact on the stability of the coal seam roof under external loads, it is advisable to use a model of a single width beam with a symmetrical section with supports, the type of which is determined by rock pressure control and secondary support of the maingate at the extraction layout of the coal mine.

The modification of the technology roof bolt supporting of mine workings in the conditions of increasing the coal mining intensity has been made. The technological schemes have been developed for the phased construction of roof bolting and frame support. This schemes make it possible to temporarily postpone the setting of frames in the mine working face, reduce the time and labour intensity for covering with a grid of the mine working arch and setting the bolts, as well as to increase the safety. The analysis of changes in the stress state of the border massif during the phased construction of roof bolting and frame support has been made. It is shown that the technology of phased construction of roof bolting and frame support ensures the maintaining a stable state of host rocks. In addition, the time between the extraction of the coal-rock mass and the setting of the primary support, as well as the distance between the face and the first row of roof bolts has been reduced to a minimum. The suggested approach makes possible to ensure the rate of preparatory mine workings development that are necessary for the intensification coal mining.

Abstract The key to the safe and efficient longwall mining of steeply dipping seams lies in the stability control of the "support-surrounding rock" system. This paper analyzes the difficulty of controlling the stability of the support during the longwall mining process of steeply dipping coal seams in terms of the characteristics of the non-uniform filled-in gob using a combination of physical test, theoretical analysis and field measurements. Considering the floor as an elastic foundation, we built a "support-surrounding rock" mechanical model based on data obtained on "support-surrounding rock" systems in different regions and the laws of support motion under different load conditions. Our findings are summarized as follows. First, depending on the angle of the coal seam, the caving gangue will roll (slide) downward along the incline, resulting in the formation of a non-uniform filling zone in the deep gob in which the lower, middle, and upper sections are filled, half-filled, and empty, respectively. In addition, an inverted triangular hollow surface is formed on the floor of the gob in the middle and upper sections behind the support. Furthermore, as the angle of the coal seam, length of the working face, and mining height increase, the characteristics of the non-uniform filled-in gob are enhanced. Second, we found that, as a result of support by the gangue, the "support-surrounding rock" system is relatively stable in the lower part of the working face while, in the middle and upper sections of the working face, the contact method and loading characteristics of the support are more complicated, making stability control difficult. Third, the magnitude and direction of the load, action point, and mining height all affect the stability of the support to varying degrees, with the tangential load and action position of the roof load having the most significant impacts on the stability of the support. Under loading by the roof, rotation and subsidence of the support inevitably occur, with gradually increasing amplitude and effects on the inter-support and sliding forces. Finally, we found that it is advisable in the process of moving the support to adopt "sliding advance of support" measures and to apply a "down-up" removal order to ensure overall stability. These research results provide reference and guidance of significance to field practice production.

Abstract Deep longwall mining of coal seams is made in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) under complicated and mostly unfavourable geological and mining conditions. Usually, it is correlated with rockburst hazard mostly at a high level. One of the geological factors affecting the state of rockburst hazard is the presence of competent rocks in the roof of extracted coal seams, so rock falling behind the longwall face does not occur, and hanging-up of roof rocks remains. The long-lasting absence of caving may lead to an occurrence of high-energy tremor in the vicinity of the longwall face. Roof caving behind the longwall face may be forced by blasting. The column of explosives is then located in blastholes drilled in layers of roof rocks, e.g. sandstones behind the longwall face. In this article, a characterization of tremors initiated by blasts for roof caving during underground extraction of coal seam no. 507 in one of the collieries in the USCB has been made using three independent methods. By the basic seismic effect method, the effectiveness of blasting is evaluated according to the seismic energy of incited tremors and mass of explosives used. According to this method, selected blasts gave extremely good or excellent effect. An inversion of the seismic moment tensor enables determining the processes happening in the source of tremors. In the foci of provoked tremors the slip mechanism dominated or was clearly distinguished. The expected explosion had lesser significance or was not present. By the seismic source parameters analysis, among other things, an estimation of the stress drop in the focus or its size may be determined. The stress drop in the foci of provoked tremors was in the order of 105 Pa and the source radius, according to the Brune’s model, varied from 44.3 to 64.5 m. The results of the three mentioned methods were compared with each other and observations in situ. In all cases the roof falling was forced.

Formation of the stress-and-strain state of the rock mass in the roof of mined coal seam depends on the development of the mined-out space. It is believed that the coal seam is located deep enough and it can be assumed that the effect of the daylight surface on its condition can be neglected. In this case, the solution is based on the analytical approach using methods of the complex variable theory and it is reduced to the construction of a single permission analytical function. The paper reviews the evolution of the deformation processes in development of the mined-out space in presence of a hard-to-collapse elastic roof, which is capable of sinking smoothly over time, without sudden caving on the landings on the floor. A particular attention is paid to the phase when the roof and the floor touch each other, i.e. the roof caving, starting from the first touching and up to its complete caving. In this case, two sections of the hanging roof are formed, that are gradually reducing in length as the dimensions of the mined-out space increase. The area of roof caving is progressively increasing, and the vertical compressive stresses at the boundary are gradually rising, tending to reach the initial vertical pressure at the depth of the formation before the start of its mining. Tension zones relative to the horizontal and vertical stresses are identified, that are attributed to the areas of roof hang-up, which may determine the location of zones with higher methane and formation water permeability, both in the rocks between the seams and in the coal seam.

The water stability influence of host rocks on water filtration process from the undermined aquifer to the mine working, depending on the way of its fastening has been studied in the paper. When solving the problem of water filtration in a deformable massif, the finite element method was used. The results of calculations are presented of the filtration permeability of the coal-bearing massif, the water pressure and the value of the water inflow into mine working in the cases of mining operations in sandstone and argillite. It is shown that the use of roof-bolting support prevents the development of the fractures formation process in the mine working roof, preserving the rocks in a natural, monolithic state. As a result, the process of water filtration from water bearing rock layers is constrained, which prevents or significantly reduces the soaking of border roof rocks. The use of roof-bolting fastening several times reduces the water inflow into mine working, located even in water-permeable rocks. The application of the roof-bolting support as a technological method for reducing the water inflow into mine workings has been substantiated.

The steeply dipping seam group is defined by the two or more coal seams ,a pitch between 35°~55°. Using masonry beam theory, longitudinal bending theory and “R-S-F” dynamics control theory built a lower area overburden structure mode. Analysed the stability of low position coal seam. The balance requirement and the strength of the structure which is affected by the caving rock and lower coal roof were given. It easily generates two lower position steps rock structure in inclination along working face. Regular breaking of the second structure is the main reason leads to the imbalance of the structure between upper coal pillar and upper coal mining face.The interaction among multiple coal seam panels and overburden structures is the main reason that causes the rock disaster, the unbalance of the lower area may lead to pushing accident, the imbalance of the upper area can generate shock pressure.

A study of multiple seams longwall mining is proposed to investigate its applicability in Indonesia coal mine. The study area of this research is PT Gerbang Daya Mandiri (GDM) coal mine located in East Kalimantan Island. The study of seam interaction is crucial for developing multiple seams longwall mining especially when it comes to weak rock conditions which are usually found in most of the coal reserves in Indonesia. This paper will use numerical simulation to investigate the effect of the first mined-out seam on the development of the second coal seam gate-entry by considering a couple of key parameters including depth of the coal seam and interburden length. The simulation model consists of two main indicators for instability which include failure zone, the contour of safety factor. The results show that the effect of seam interaction on gate-entry has different intensity based on the thickness of the interburden and coal seam depth. This work also provided appropriate support configuration for maintaining the stability of gate-entry.
