Fundamentals of the methodology of the systematic control of roof lowering in mine faces

Abstract

The steady increase in coal production and the transition to the development of new deposits with increasingly complex conditions of occurrence makes the problems of control over the manifestations of rock pressure and prediction of the behavior of the roof in the mine workings of the mines of paramount importance, which has not yet found its solution. This is due to a number of reasons, in particular, insufficient study of the processes of rock pressure, the lack of a methodology for systematic prediction on the basis of control measurements of the state of the massif.
