Summary
-
1.
The distance from the working face to the abutment pressure maximum (the plastic zone in the vicinity of the face) greatly increases with increasing moisture content of the solid coal.
-
2.
The stress concentration coefficient in the abutment pressure zone depends on the extent of the plastic zone, and decreases with increase in the latter.
-
3.
Pre-wetting of wide areas of solid coal has a beneficial effect on the behavior of the surrounding rock. Roof displacement in the supported waste area is less for wetted seams than for nonwetted seams, worked under the same conditions.
