Abstract
Powered roof support in a longwall operation is designed to maintain a safe working area and allow the immediate roof to fail and collapse behind the support. The powered supports are loaded using large hydraulic pumps with non-return and preset-yielding valves. In addition to providing support to the immediate roof in the longwall production area, it also moves the armoured face conveyor and shearer forward as coal mining progresses. The research aimed to analyse the changes in the pressure values in the powered roof support section's hydraulic cylinders in relation to the occurrence of rock mass movements in the roof. The pressure measurements are based on the sensors in the sub-piston space of the powered roof support hydraulic prop located in the steel wall. The results allow a correlation to be developed between the roof movement and the loads generated in the hydraulic cylinders.
期刊介绍:
Acta Montanistica Slovaca publishes high quality articles on basic and applied research in the following fields:
geology and geological survey;
mining;
Earth resources;
underground engineering and geotechnics;
mining mechanization, mining transport, deep hole drilling;
ecotechnology and mineralurgy;
process control, automation and applied informatics in raw materials extraction, utilization and processing;
other similar fields.
Acta Montanistica Slovaca is the only scientific journal of this kind in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe.
The submitted manuscripts should contribute significantly to the international literature, even if the focus can be regional. Manuscripts should cite the extant and relevant international literature, should clearly state what the wider contribution is (e.g. a novel discovery, application of a new technique or methodology, application of an existing methodology to a new problem), and should discuss the importance of the work in the international context.
