摘要:Results of analytical, laboratory and mine studies of parameters of disintegration zones in structurally-heterogeneous rocks and fracture systems around of the deep mine roadways are presented. A mathematical model is proposed, which is realized with the help of the procedures of simulation modeling by finite element method. Based on the calculation of possible directions of the rock shearing (the “rock shear sites”) and breakage of bonds between the elements, the model allows determining orientation of dominant master fracture system development with taking into account natural structural defects in the rock massif. A new algorithm was created for determining master cracks and boundaries of disintegration zones with the layered rock, which differs by determining directions of rock shear sites in the elastoplastic problem considering residual strength and main structural defects of the structurally-heterogeneous rock massif. Regularities of organization of unidirectional rock shear sites and their distribution under the influence of mining operations in zones with inelastic deformations were established.
