摘要：Directional hydraulic fracturing method (DHF method) for controlling hard roof in coal mines and the means of its implementation is given in the paper. The method allows getting extended, set in a given direction cracks for stratification and cutting off the roof and for providing their controlled caving in different technological schemes. Geo-physical methods are introduced, the monitoring and the mine site experimental testing data on controlling the roofs applying the method of extraction pillar seismic testing on transmitted waves are studied. The experience of applying the method at Kuzbass mines are analyzed.
