Purpose. The substantiation of accounting the deformation-strength characteristics of the collapsed rocks and the rocks consolidating near the reusable preparatory mine working of the mined-out space to optimize the loading parameters of its fastening and security systems. Improving the research adequacy and recommendations reliability.Methods. By means of computational experiments based on the finite-element method, the influence has been studied of rigidity of the collapsed rocks and consolidating rocks in the mined-out space on the level of intensity of the load-bearing elements of the fastening and security systems of mine working. The analysis has been performed of the stress-strain state of the geomechanical system load-bearing elements, as well as comparative mine research.Findings. The research results and analysis are represented of the stress-strain state of the fastening and security systems elements in the preparatory mine workings with different degree of rigidity of the collapsed and consolidated rocks of the mined-out space. The patterns of the rigidity influence of the collapsed roof rocks on the stable state of preparatory mine workings have been assessed. Originality.A different-valued relation has been established between the deformation-strength characteristics of the collapsed rocks in the mined-out space and the elements of fastening and security systems of mine working, which should be considered when optimizing the modes of their operation. It has been revealed that the increased loading on the combined roof-bolting system elements protects the frame support from the increased rock pressure, which contributes to reducing the section losses of mine working. Practical implications.The research performed is the basis for the parameters optimization when maintaining the preparatory mine workings for their repeated use and also for the rational parameters search of the combined roof-bolting system in order to develop a method for choosing its parameters depending on mining and geological conditions.
The new support patterns have been revealed for controlling the combinations of the roof rocks strengthening processes in extraction mine workings with combined roof-bolting systems. It has been established that in adjacent roof rocks, by means of a combination of rope bolts and resin-grouted roof bolts, an armored and rock plate is formed, the high load-bearing capacity of which is achieved by maintaining the horizontal thrust forces that reduces the concentrations of all the stresses components to a level many times lower than the strength characteristics of the lithotypes. The criterion has been substantiated for assessing the resistance level of roof-bolts as a part of the combined roof-bolting system, which is used for determination of the most important geomechanical factors in terms of the system loading degree. The patterns have been established of a degree of loading the roof-bolts being a part of the combined roof-bolting system from the main influencing geomechanical factors. The calculated expressions have been obtained to determine the needed parameters for effectively strengthening the roof in workings by a combined roof-bolting system. The mine experiment analysis has been performed as well.
Purpose.Development of a comprehensive methodology for assessing the state of mine workings based on the analysis of their contour displacement patterns when solving the problem of minimizing the risks during the closure of coal mines in Ukraine. Methods. Based on an integrated analysis of international and domestic trends when assessing the consequences of mine closure, the main provisions of using the method of instrumental mine observations have been substantiated. When solving the problem, the approaches of regulatory documents are taken into account to identify the geomechanical situation according to two conditions: the structure and strength properties of the lithotypes in the adjacent coal-bearing stratum and the peculiarities of the rheological processes manifestation during the development of its displacements. Findings. The geomechanical, technological and hydrogeological factors have been distinguished that are required to take into account when closing the coal mines. Fundamental methodological provisions have been substantiated for the most reliable assessment of the mine workings state, taking into account the long period of their operation. A criterion for making a decision on the decommissioning of mine workings or their further maintenance is presented. Originality.A series of generalizing dependences of the mine working contour displacement development has been obtained, which can be divided into four main groups according to the criteria of the structural and strength properties of lithotypes in the adjacent mass, as well as the type of their rheological manifestations: decaying and persistent deformation creep. For each group, using the methods of correlation-dispersive analysis, empirical formulas have been determined for calculating the convergence of the roof and bottom of mine workings, as well as their sides, depending on the geomechanical criterion H/R of the maintenance conditions and the duration t of this period. Practical implications.The obtained correlation ratios make it possible to predict the residual section of mine working at any time of its maintenance. They are a geomechanical component of its operational state assessment. The result of this research is the development of a new methodology for assessing the mine working state according to the patterns for predicting its contour displacement.
Substantiation of calculating the rational parameters of reaction and yielding property of the fastening system in the preparatory mine workings. Methods. The stress-strain state analysis of the "massif -support" system and the normative documents on support calculation of the preparatory mine workings to determine the patterns of link between the fastening system parameters and the main geomechanical factors. Findings. The patterns of geomechanical factors influence on the parameters of reaction and yielding property of the fastening system have been determined, as well as the analytical expressions for their calculation have been obtained. Originality. Correlation-dispersion analysis of the optimization data has revealed a stable exponential relation between the parameters of reaction and the yielding property of support with an index H/R, regardless of the coal-bearing massif structure. Practical implications. Calculation of the deformation-strength characteristic of the fastening system has been developed depending on the mining and geological conditions of maintaining the preparatory mine working.
