The article presents the methods for calculation of supports of parallel workings divided with yieldable pillars at anthracite seams. Consideration is given to the development of experimental data card for protection and maintenance of paired conveyor entries with using the steelpolymer anchor supports.
The article contains the results of in situ investigation of influence of yielding pillars on the stability of protected workings with different modes of preset yielding. Graphs of roof movements in the workings protected with yielding pillars, are given.
