Abstract:
During the excavation of hard rocks with parallel geological strata, it is advantageous for roofs and floors to follow the structure, which in stratified rocks coincides with the bedding planes. When necessary, roof stabilization is achieved either by suspension from higher layers or by reinforcing the layers themselves. In cases where failure coincides with fracturing, equations and charts are provided for support selection. When failure corresponds to collapse, charts are given for calculating the generally much smaller required support. Construction guidelines for dimensioning the support are also provided. If the roofs are curved, there is a risk of block detachment and sliding along interfaces. For this, equations are given to calculate the necessary resisting forces to prevent such occurrences, aiding in support selection. The chapter includes worked examples of analysis and support selection, as well as practice problems for various scenarios.
