Abstract
Purpose. Improvement of the method of reducing water inflows into mine workings with using com-bined frame-roof bolting to ensure the stability of the mine workings, waterproofing and protection against the collapse of wet contour rocks inside the mine workings. Methods. When solving the problem of water filtration in deformed rock, the method of studying the state of a layered rock massif with a mine working in the presence of water-saturated layers in its vicinity, which was developed by the authors, as well as the finite element method, were used. Research results. As a result of the calculations, the stress values, the zones of inelastic defor-mations, the values of permeability coefficients, water pressure and water inflows have been obtained for the roadways supported with different number of roof bolts. It is shown that the number of roof bolts af-fects all these parameters around the roadway in the rock mass and in the water-saturated seam. If a larg-er number of roof bolts are installed, the processes of crack formation and, accordingly, rock fracturing are slower. After mining, if 3 or more roof bolts installed, intensity of water filtration process is minimal, but after 2-3 days water from the water-saturated seam begins to penetrate deep into the surrounding rocks. Roof bolting significantly reduces these processes, the using of a scheme with 5-9 roof bolts re-strains the movement of water and, most importantly, practically isolates the roadway from water-saturated rocks. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a numerical model has been created and the calculations have been completed for roadways supported with 1-9 roof bolts in conditions of intensive inflows over time from the moment of its building. Practical significance. Research and calculations make it possible to obtain a significant economic effect due to the setting of the optimal number of roof bolts and the reduction of the use of materials for supporting the roadway and, at the same time, to prevent water inflows and increase the stability of road-ways.
