Physical simulation of integrated protective structures

An effective way of protecting development workings by integrated rock wall structures is considered. The necessity of improving this method and its experimental verification is substantiated. Integrated rock wall structures are experimentally tested under laboratory conditions. On the basis of the results of physical modeling, parameters of integrated structures have been specified in terms of impact factors; their yield strength is also specified. The condition for ensuring the stability of the integrated protective structure, which allows calculating appropriate rock wall width, is determined.
