Abstract:
Mining with longitudinal faces is applied in thin stratified deposits of uniform thickness and large horizontal extent. Their support is achieved using hydraulic props and beams. Production and safety are increased through the use of advanced hydraulic support systems, which integrate the hydraulic props and beams into a single unit. Various types of such units have been developed, differing in form, material strength, load-bearing capacity, number of props, and hydraulic fluids used. The systems are characterized by factors such as yield pressure, spacing between units, the depth of the unsupported face, and the maximum and minimum height. The calculation of the required support force varies between countries. The technological characteristics, as well as the relative advantages and disadvantages of these systems, are presented. Worked examples of their selection are provided, followed by practice problems.
