Experimental Studies about Characteristics of the Rocks Displacement and State of Bearing Pressure on the Haulage Roadway

Abstract

Comprehensive studies were conducted using measuring stations to measure the rock pressure and displacements of the roof rocks in the mine workings adjacent to the face when extracting medium thick inclined coal seams with the use of longwall (seam 6 at the Quang Hanh mine of Quang Ninh coal basin, Vietnam). The results of the study show that the displacement of the roof rock on the parallel roadway increases sharply at a distance of 1 to 12 m to the face, varies from 20 to 40 mm when the mining depth of the coal seam is 200 m and the maximum rock pressure on the haulage roadway supports is located at a distance of 3–8 m ahead of the face and is from 14 to 16 tons ranges.
