“…Poliakov Institute of Geotechnical Mechanics NASU, in which an analytical description of the stress-strain state of the rock massif near the mine longwall [11][12][13] is given, including taking into account: free gas in the rock formation, water saturation, cracks and geological disturbances [13,14], extreme deformation of rocks [11,15]. A model has been developed for the formation of pore-fractured area in sandstones under the influence of natural and technogenic factors [15,18], which is verified by numerous experiments in mines, as well as for the underground geotechnical systems of geomechanical monitoring [19,20] and radiometric control methods [19]. At the same time, the interconnected problems of the rocks massif destruction during mining and forecasting gas emissions in the mine roadways are extremely difficult and do not have a final solution.…”
