摘要：Theoretical studies of stress strain state of rock under the extraction pillar working by mechanized complex with plough systems were conducted. As a result of studies the mining parameters of the wall face working are presented. The mining parameters include the width of coal shavings continuously removed before reaching the critical rock pressure in the face and duration of the technological pause between removal of coal shavings, that leads to “relaxation” of rock pressure in the bearing zone to a safe state for continued mining. The use of the values of these parameters during the extraction pillar working ensures efficient and no-failure operation of high-performance mechanized complexes equipped with plough systems as shown by the example of mining and geological conditions of one of the mines of the Western Donbas.
