Analysis of perspective flow diagrams of layered mining of high flat coal-seam in the Kuzbass Region is carried out. A conclusion in made on the necessity to consider the influence of the underworked massif of the 2nd layer in determination of the ultimate thickness of the interlayer coal pack. Analytical studies of the stress-and-strain state of the underworked massif have been made. Sizes of weakened coal zones are determined and recommendations are given how to determine the ultimate thickness of the protective pack.
The know-how of layer improvement of thick hollow seams in the mines of Kuzbass is analyzed. The conclusion is made about the necessity of subcladding justification of the location of local development workings of layer 2, providing the minimization of costs for their development and maintenance. The influence of mining engineering factors on the stress-strain state of rock massif in the vicinity of layer 2 layer workings has been investigated. Recommendations on the choice of rational location of local development workings are made. The economic benefit from the implementation of the developed recommendations is estimated.
Perspective technological schemes of layer mining of thick gentle seams of Kuzbass are analyzed. It is concluded that it is necessary to take into account the influence of the 2nd layer overworking when determining the ultimate capacity of the interlayer coal bundle. Analytical studies of stress-strain state of the overworked massif have been carried out. The dimensions of the zones of unstrengthened coal have been determined and recommendations for determining the ultimate thickness of the protective bundle have been given.
