Mine Pressure and Rock Displacement Temporal Variation Analysis for Jiu Valley Directional Drifts in the Context of “n” Stability Criterion/Analiza Ciśnień I Chwilowych Przemieszczeń Skał W Badaniach Kierunkowych Wyrobisk W Kopalniach W Dolinie Jiu Z Uwzględnieniem Kryterium Stabilności ‘N’

Abstract

Abstract Ensuring mine workings stability over their entire operation period largely depends on the chosen support system and on their interaction with the surrounding rock. Looking at how the main horizontal mine workings are supported in Jiu Valley coal basin, we found that they fall into the category fulfilling a reinforcement role. From the data provided by the documentation of the collieries within this basin, it was found that there were generalized different metal - type supporting systems that with respect to operating and working mode are with constant or malleable strength and increasing - strength (rigid supporting systems). Research conducted on the stability analysis of horizontal mine workings aimed at elucidate the intensiveness and characteristics of mine pressure, the deformation character and contour displacement of rocks, the interplay between geo-mechanical deformation conditions and deformation extension, as good as the influence of these parameters on the supporting system’s behavior. This paper presents a methodology for determining the main laws of mine pressure regime distribution, the results of the burden load values and displacement of support, considering the “n” stability criterion as a complex parameter which can express the laws of variation, for the specific location and operating conditions of directional galleries within the floor of coal seam 3 in Jiu Valley.
