Size and shape of the protecting pillars under surface and underground structures for the conditions of great depths
Abstract
The mining of the deposits of useful minerals by an underground method always leads to certain deformations of the rock massif and surface of the terrain. For this reason, the prognosticated deformations by the winning planned in the vicinity of shafts or under sensitive surface objects (building, industrial or naturalistic), in spite of certain resistance of these objects, might cause them dangerous damage, Such damage would become a possible hazard in their safe utilization, and in the case of e.g., rivers and in the rockmass would create a safety hazard in the work of a mine.
