FIELD: underground mining in rocks.SUBSTANCE: method of mining a working in a rock
mass exposed to tectonic stresses includes making a straight
cut with the formation of a
cutting cavity in the centre of the mine working, determining the direction of the greatest compressive stress in the
massif and forming the mine working. If the greatest compressive stress is found in the horizontal transverse direction to the contour of the working, the
cutting cavity is expanded by exploding pre-contour and contour blasthole charges in the horizontal transverse direction to the contour of the mine working, whereas as a result of the explosion, a dome-shaped part of the cavity of the mine working is formed due to the natural destruction of the rock.EFFECT: increase in the stability of the workings' boundary rocks.1 cl, 3 dwg
