Introduction. It has been found that due to light gas (including methane) emission in rooms under development, there develops an additional natural draught between the mine workings. The calculation has shown that methane emission from the rock mass conditions the low value of the additional natural draught. However, even minor additional natural draught interacting with a thermal drop of pressure caused by temperature rise in the conveyor shaft changes the direction of the delivery air stream. While in up the dip blocks and panels the resultant natural draught promotes ventilation, in the down the dip production units it prevents air circulation in the required direction. Research methods. The methods and results of calculating the value and direction of the natural draught for real panels of potash mines at the Upper Kama potash deposit under various conditions have been presented together with the simulation observations of methane distribution in the room with a point source of emission. Results. Model analysis has shown that even under the low amount of gas emission out of the point source in the blind room (of a hole drilled in the roof), the concentration of gas in the gas-air mixture entering the belt heading reaches 2%. Conclusions. To ensure the safety of mining and reduce the risk of emergency when calculating the volume of air required to ventilate the production units, the dynamics of methane emission out of the rock mass should be taken into account as well as its further distribution across the mine workings.

The paper represents the results of monitoring and evaluation of the efficiency of hydroimpulsive disintegration of outburst-prone coal seams in the stopes of development mine workings using a system of sound detecting facilities. Methods of acoustic emission control have been considered as well as the monitoring tasks to evaluate rock mass conditions before the procedure and after it inclusive of the results of sound accompaniment of hydraulic disintegration of the coal seam. It has been determined that the higher concentration of stresses within the rock mass is, the more efficient action of high frequency self-oscillations of cavitation transmitter is on both the fissuring and changes in gas-dynamic state of the coal seam. It has been recommended to apply a mode of impulsive fluid pumping under the conditions where coal seam is in the stress-strain state.

Within the underground mining enterprises, in the event of a fire underground, it is necessary to isolate the mining site or mine workings to protect miners from poisoning by flue gases. To do this, the Mine Ventilation Wall (MVW) is used. Its second purpose is to regulate the air distribution underground, to fence sections not designed for ventilating. This survey describes the design of the MVW new type, which will have a number of competitive advantages in regard analogues existing. The results of mathematical modeling of the MVW properties under different conditions are represented.

Introduction. Various techniques of breaking rock by explosion have currently been developed when tunneling underground mine workings, but asymmetrically directed stress fields application is of the main interest. Research aim is to study explosion energy distribution and maximum concentration deep down the blasted rock mass. Blast energy concentration may be achieved by using the principle of cumulation in the hole back by means of changing the design of the blasthole explosive charge. Methodology. Based on the analyzed literature and theoretical research it is recommended to use the design of a blasthole explosive charge with the use of Munroe effect, which makes it possible to increase the blasthole efficiency ratio (BER), reduce drilling activity, reach sharper design contours of mine workings and eliminate bootlegs. The action of blasthole explosive charges with Munroe effect has been theoretically investigated, hydrodynamic theory of cumulation has been studied, and the dependences have been determined between the liner’s collapsing angle alternation and the radius of the cone, its height, initial velocity, and cumulative jet velocity. Results. The main factors which determine the efficiency of the proposed new technique of blasting against the basic technique are the blasthole efficiency ratio, face advance pace after one blast, the amount of rock mass detached after one blast, and the granulometric composition of the blasted rock mass. Summary. The developed design of the blasthole explosive charge with Munroe effect makes it possible to increase BER, face advance per one cycle, and increase the amount of the broken rock mass.

This paper studies the rock mass stress state under highland conditions, depending on the geological structure of a particular rock mass area, the tectonic field of stresses and the region relief. This study is aimed to develop an experimental method for assessing and monitoring the properties and state of the rock mass adjacent to mine workings. Experimental studies are performed through stresses measurements in-situ. Based on research results, it has been revealed that the geological structures, tectonic fields of stresses and the earth’s surface relief of the deposit normally reflect the values and direction of the main stresses acting in the mass. These patterns can be used to predict and assess the stress state of the rock mass. During the mass stress state assessment, quantitative dependences have been obtained for determining the stress tensors conditioned by the overlying rocks weight, tectonics and fracturing, and the deposit surface relief The research results make possible to assess the nature of the stresses distribution, to identify the areas of reduced, equal, increased and maximum stresses concentration of the virgin mass, as well as to increase the efficiency of the geoacoustic control developed by the authors for the state of the mass adjacent to mine working. According to the new patterns and dependences obtained, the values and directions have been scientifically determined of the main stresses action, as well as the zones of stresses manifestation. These patterns and dependences are valuable for designing and planning the development of mining operations.

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the temperature of surrounding rocks on enthalpy and temperature of air flowing along several model mine workings. Long workings surrounded by non- -coal rocks as well longwall gates surrounded by coal were taken into consideration. Computer-aided simulation methods were used during the study. At greater depths the amount of moisture transferred into a mine working from the rock mass is two orders of magnitude smaller than the moisture that comes from external (technological) sources, mainly from coal extraction-related processes, therefore in the equation describing temperature changes only the terms representing the flux of heat from rocks were included. The model workings, for calculation purposes, were divided into sections, 50 m in length each. For each of the sections temperature of its ribs and temperature and stream of enthalpy of air flowing along it were calculated with the use of the finite differences method. For workings surrounded by non-coal rocks two variant calculations were carried out, namely with or without technological sources of heat. For coal surrounded workings (longwall gates) a new method for determination of heat from coal oxidation was developed, based on the findings by Cygankiewicz J. (2012a, 2012b). Using the results of a study by J.J. Drzewiecki and Smolka (1994), the effects of rock mass fracturing on transfer of heat into the air stream flowing along a working were taken into account.
