Abstract.

For the repeated use of gate road as the air roadway, the combined systems of its supporting are use. One of the tasks is supporting of roof edge (berms) by anchors on the interface “gate road - face”. Traditional methods of the berm supporting is piling of wooden chocks, rubble blocks, etc. However, these constructions do not feature yielding, and at great loadings they are pressed into the floor or collapsed. When floor and roof rocks are hard, roof edge falls down. One of the promising methods of supporting the gate roads is cast strips.

Technological schemes determine the procedure for performing technological operations for supporting the gate roads by the cast strips in order to reuse them for the next column. The method of supporting the gate roads by cast rigid strips is considered as one of the promising ones, which ensures reduction of costs of the working supporting, their reuse in conditions of intensive mining of coal seams by highly-productive longwalls, mechanization of the strip construction and improvement of ventilation in the working areas. Geomechanics of the method is based on new scientific knowledge about mechanic and synergistic phenomena, which have confirmed that the use of fast-hardening materials with a high level of work mechanization is a promising trend. The scope of application of rigid cast strips is determined, when high performance and safety of work on the method implementation is ensured. The cast strips make it possible to use direct-flow ventilation pattern in the face, localize methane in the goaf behind the longwall, significantly reduce friction of local workings and cut cost of their recovery when reused for excavating the adjacent column. The proposed technology allows increasing load on the face, reducing zones with rock failure, increasing its marginal, interlayer and deep stability, and ensuring preservation of the cross-section of local working up to 80% of the design cross section.

Keywords: technological schemes, gate roads, cast strips, reuse, direct-flow ventilation, swelling, rock massif.
