Maintenance of reusable mine workings during the augering mining of coal seams

Abstract

The augering mining of thin and very thin coal seams has been proposed for using the efficiency of this task, related to the stability of reusable mine workings. The interrelation has been established and optimized between the support loading parameters in the extraction working during the augering mining of thin and very thin coal seams with the stress-strain characteristics of the protective monolithic strip of variable rigidity. The strength properties of sand-cement stone for the erection of rigid and yieldable parts of the protective strip are studied. The regression equations are obtained, which allow to determine the rational force, deformation and geometric parameters of the “support – protective strip” system elements during the extraction workings maintenance.
