Main objective of the executed researches was justification of the location of entry
providing its maintenance in a bearing pressure zone. Researches were carried out for
conditions of the Prokopyevsk and Kiselevsky field of the Kuznetsk coal basin
(Russia). Researches were conducted by a finite element method. When performing
researches the provision entry relative of a regional part of the massif and property of
coal changed. As a result of researches influence of strength of coal and the location
of entry on the stress and strain state of the massif is established and the conclusion is
drawn on need of increase in height of a slice up to 10 m. Recommendations of
increase in height of each subsequent slice at mining of soft coals are also made. The
novelty of work consists in establishment of dependences of the stress and strain state
of the massif on height of the mining slice.

Three dimensional finite element modeling of pervious concrete pavementeSAT Journals
Abstract Pervious concrete has the unique characteristic of allowing water to pass through its porous matrix. . Pervious concrete pavement systems usually have three main layers, pervious concrete on the top, a subbase layer of aggregate for water storage in the middle and the subgrade (soil) layer below. Finite element modeling of this novel material is challenging due to its complex porous characteristics. In this paper, a method has been proposed to model pervious concrete pavement using finite element methods, which includes a modified approach to capture the unique vertical porosity distribution in the pervious concrete layer by averaging the distribution in three distinct vertical sections. The mechanical properties of the pervious concrete layer are assumed to vary along its depth since the porosity of the pervious concrete also varies with depth. ABAQUS, a general-purpose finite element software package was used to develop the model and perform the analysis. The model was validated through a convergence study, and in comparison with the analytical theory of tensile stress and deflection for traditional concrete pavement. In addition, the significance of the porosity distribution model was validated by comparing the results from EverFE – a specific software for pavement structure analysis. It was found that there is significant difference in tensile stress if modeled using the modified vertical porosity distribution in the previous concrete layer to more fully capture its vertical porosity distribution, as compared to an averaged porosity model in the previous concrete layer. It was also noted that compressive stress demand may have increased importance for pervious concrete, but only for highly porous applications which are not commonly used.

Mechanical Response Analysis of Asphalt Pavement StructureIJERA Editor
This document analyzes the mechanical response of asphalt pavement structures through finite element modeling. It establishes a three-dimensional model of an asphalt pavement with multiple layers and simplifies the wheel load as a uniform circular load. The model is used to analyze how variations in surface layer modulus (E1) and thickness (H1) impact maximum shear stress (τmax) at the wheel center. Results show τmax decreases with increasing E1 and H1 values. Thinner surface layers with lower modulus are more prone to rutting under repeated loads. The analysis provides a basis for optimizing asphalt pavement designs but has limitations considering only single parameters and temperature effects.
This document discusses the effects of different concrete classes on the cost of transportation structures. It analyzes three types of reinforced concrete structures: retaining walls, culverts, and bridges. Calculations are made for each structure using concrete classes ranging from C20 to C45 to determine the impact of concrete strength on costs. Quantities of concrete are calculated for each structure and costs are compared across different classes. The goal is to reveal the real cost variations that occur when each structure is built using different concrete strengths.

Study on Soil-Foundation Interaction under a Bridge Pierijtsrd
This study focuses on the behaviour of soil-foundation interaction under a bridge pier. In 2016, August 25, a magnitude of 6.8 happened near Bagan region. Pakokku Bridge, the longest of the bridges over the Irrawaddy, is situated on 37.8 miles from the epicentre of 2016 Chauk earthquake. That is why the safety performance of long-span Bridge especially for the safety of the foundation system subjected to soil-foundation interaction is necessary to investigate for static and seismic excitation. So, study on the behaviour of soil-foundation interaction under Bridge pier in static condition is presented in this study. Firstly super structural loadings on the pile cap are estimated by using STAAD PRO V8i. And then, theoretical ultimate soil resistance pcr and pcd due to wedge and flow failure are determined to produce critical depth xcr. Based on the value of critical depth, p-y curves are generated by Reese 1974 method for the static condition. After that, finite element software ABAQUS is used for the analysis of soil-foundation interaction under a bridge pier. In this study, the behaviour of soil-foundation interaction such as deflections, settlements, shear stresses and shear strains are produced. According to the analysis results, it is found that the vertical and horizontal displacements at the pile tip are 1.27mm and 4.68mm respectively. Maximum shear stress and strain are found out the base of the pile cap. Finally it is found that the soil-foundation interaction under a bridge pier presented in this study is reliable and reasonable with the limitation of AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges.

Highly Deformable Energy-Dissipating Reinforced Concrete Elements in Seismic ...IJERA Editor
Incorporating scrap tyre rubber particles as partial replacement for aggregates has been found to produce concrete with improved ductility, deformability and damping which are desired characteristics of a viable material for enhancing structural response to earthquake vibrations. An analytical study using Drain-2dX was carried out to investigate the response of 4-storey, 3-bay reinforced concrete frames on innovative rubberised concrete deformable foundation models to simulated earthquake scaled to 5 different peak ground accelerations. Stress-strain properties of 3-layers aramid fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confinement for concrete incorporating waste rubber from scrap vehicle tyres were used to model the elements of this foundation models. With a partial decoupling of the superstructure from the direct earthquake force, the models showed up to 70% reduction in base shear, an improved overall q-factor of 7.1, and an estimated frame acceleration of 0.11g for an earthquake peak ground acceleration of 0.44g. This implies that a non-seismically designed reinforced concrete frame on the proposed rubberised concrete deformable foundation system would provide a simple, affordable and equally efficient alternative to the conventional and usually expensive earthquake resistant concrete frames. A supplementary Arrest System (SAS) was proposed to anchor the frame from the resulting soft storey at the rubberised concrete foundation. A further research is recommended for the design of concrete hinges with rubberised concrete as used in the model with the most impressive response
Engineering Characterisation of Aggregates from Some Selected Areas in Kumasi...IJAEMSJORNAL
The document summarizes a study that characterized aggregates from four locations (KP, CS, QC, NM) near major quarries in Kumasi, Ghana. Engineering tests were performed on the aggregates including specific gravity, water absorption, aggregate impact value, aggregate crushing value, ten percent fines value, flakiness index, elongation index, and Los Angeles abrasion value. The results indicated that aggregates from the CS location generally performed best, passing most tests and indicating high strength, good water absorption, and resistance to impacts and loading. The KP location produced aggregates that were hardest and most resistant to crushing and degradation. The study concluded that the CS location was best for obtaining high quality aggregates.
Finite Element Analysis of Composite Deck Slab Using Perfobond Rib as Shear C...IJERA Editor
Nowadays, the composite decks are very common to use in composite or steel construction. In this case of study

with experimental test. Results showed a good agreement with the experimental data and indicate that the
perfobond rib is appropriate shear connector for the bridges decks.
Major issues to be considered for the successful application of unreinforced and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) tunnel final linings concepts include:
1) Application limits related to the geotechnical environment, seismic regime, and topography that must be determined based on safety and serviceability requirements.
2) Existing design codes and recommendations provide frameworks for evaluating the safety and serviceability of these lining concepts.
3) Case studies demonstrate that unreinforced and SFRC tunnel linings have been successfully used in tunnels up to 8km and 4.8km respectively, in various ground conditions.

Heavy duty pavements are pavements subjected to the extremely heavy wheel loads associated with freight handling vehicles in industrial facilities, such as container terminals and warehouses. Heavy duty pavement need to handle many types of freight handling vehicles, such as forklifts, straddle carriers, gantry cranes and side loaders. Heavy duty pavement often deals with slow moving or even static traffic load with ultra high load magnitude. Furthermore, the load wandering for heavy duty pavement such as contain port or warehouse is more significant than normal highway or urban road pavement. The goal of pavement design is to determine the number, material composition and thickness of the different layers within a pavement structure required to accommodate a given loading regime.

Topographic influence on stability for gas wells penetrating longwall mining ...legend314
Gas wells that penetrate mineable coal seams may be subject to distress caused by ground movements due to longwall mining. Especially important are the lateral shear offsets and axial distortion, which are most damaging for wellbores. To replicate typical conditions in the Appalachian basin, a geological model that considers the combined effects of topography, weak interfaces between monolithic beds and various mining depths is presented in the foregoing. These conditions adequately represent the principal features of the anticipated response of gas wells that are near-undermined by longwall panels. We examine the magnitudes of longitudinal distortions, lateral shear offsets, delaminations, and vertical and lateral strains along vertical wells drilled to intersect the seam at various locations within the longwall pillar. We analyze the distribution of these deformations and predict areas where the most severe deformation would occur.
This document discusses a study on the effect of soil type on rectangular tunnels. A finite element analysis was conducted to analyze the structural behavior of a typical underground metro station subject to various soil types. The analysis considered different soil subgrade reactions to model soil-structure interaction. Both 3D shell element modeling and 2D plane frame modeling were used and results were compared. The study found that soil type significantly impacts bending moments in the bottom slab, with variations of 50-70% between soil types under some load cases. Loose sand produced the lowest bending moments while clay soils produced the highest.
OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR HIGHWAY EMBANKMENT WITH STONE COLUMNIAEME Publication
In this paper discusses how to design the highway embankment with an optimum process to
get a minimum area of the highway embankment to reduce the cost of construction, and the
problems of soft clay soil in southern of Iraq when construction highway embankment as low
bearing capacity and excessive settlement and the way to treat it.At beginning a model of the
high way embankment without improving of soft clay soil for height of highway embankments
(H=2m and H=3m) was built to note the problems which will be faced when construction of
highway embankment in the future. When the height of embankment is (H=2m) the excessive
settlement appears but when the height of embankment is (H=3m) the low bearing capacity as
well as the excessive settlement will appear. To avoid these problems, the soft clay soil will be
improved by using stone columns and design the stone columns also with optimum process to
get minimum area of stone columns that can carry the applied load without any problem like
low bearing capacity or excessive settlement with lowest cost. When the stone columns are
used to improve the soft clay soil, it can note reduce in settlement by (99%) for height of
highway embankment (H=2m), and increase in bearing capacity to (15%) for height of
highway embankment (H=3m) for certain diameter as minimum increase can carry the load
applied on foundation. The highway embankment with stone column modeling with ANSYS
software program and this program very useful to help to find optimum design by optimization
tool, and use geo slope program to find slope stability for highway embankment by Bishop’s
method.

The document summarizes the design and construction of the foundations for the Rion Antirion Bridge in Greece. Key points:
- The foundations had to withstand severe environmental conditions like weak soil, earthquakes, and tectonic movements. An innovative concept was adopted using large diameter caissons resting on reinforced natural ground with steel pipe inclusions.
- Under each caisson, 150-200 steel pipe inclusions 2m in diameter were driven into the soil in a 7m grid to reinforce it. A 2.8m thick gravel layer separated the caisson from the inclusions.
- This concept provided capacity design by allowing sliding at the gravel interface during large seismic forces, limiting forces on the super
Main objective of the executed researches was assessment of the strain-stress
condition of regional parts of pillar for definition of a possibility of formation of coal
congestions, prone to spontaneous ignition, in goafs of extraction longwall panels.
Analytical researches were carried out for the wide range of geological and mining
conditions of mining of flat coal seams by longwall. When performing researches
equations for definition of the strain-stress condition of regional parts of the coal
pillar were used. As a result of researches the sizes of zones of critical condition for
various conditions are determined and the conclusion is drawn on need of accounting
of a condition of regional parts of coal pillars for an exception of conditions for
emergence of the endogenous fires. The novelty of research consists in taking note of a
condition of regional parts of coal pillar and establishment of dependence of the
strain-stress condition of regional parts of coal pillars on the major mining-andgeological
factors.
The Rion Antirion bridge in Greece connects the Peloponnese peninsula to the mainland across the Gulf of Corinth. Its foundations had to withstand severe environmental conditions including weak soils, earthquakes up to magnitude 7.0, and long-term tectonic movements. The innovative foundation concept adopted reinforced the natural ground with steel tubular piles and included a gravel layer between the piles and foundation raft. This provided capacity to resist the large seismic forces while minimizing differential settlement hazards. Extensive site investigations characterized the poor soil properties to ensure compatible design of seismic demand and foundation capacity.

Welcome to International Journal of Engineering Research and Development (IJERD)IJERD Editor
This study experimentally analyzed the mechanical behavior and microstructure of rail material and thermite welds used in Moroccan railways. Hardness tests showed higher hardness in the weld zone due to rapid cooling, with hardness decreasing in the heat affected zone. Optical and scanning electron microscopy revealed grain coarsening and inclusions in the weld zone microstructure compared to the refined grains of the base rail material. These factors - hardening, coarse grains, and inclusions - contribute to embrittlement in the weld zone, increasing the risk of brittle fracture at the rail/weld interface under heavy train loads. The results provide insights into improving weld quality and integrity for high-speed rail.
This document discusses seismic retrofitting of buildings.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
2. Entry Stability in Steeply Inclined Thick Coal Seam at Underground Hydraulic Mining
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 818 editor@iaeme.com
1. INTRODUCTION
Hydraulic mining of coal is one of the most effective and safe ways of underground mining of
steeply inclined coal seams. In Russia hydraulic mining of coal is successfully applied in the
Kuznetsk coal basin at mining of steeply inclined coal seams of the Prokopyevsk and
Kiselevsky field. The Prokopyevsk and Kiselevsky field is one of the largest fields of
Kuzbass on coal reserves, however belongs to fields of very complex geological structure. In
a stratigrafichesky section powerful seams of suite alternate with thin and an average
thickness, and the distance between separate seams fluctuates in very wide limits. The coal
field very gassy, and coals of the majority of seam are inclined to self-ignition. In such
conditions questions of management of gas emission have considerable relevance [1-15]. In
the area steeply inclined of seams prevails: the share of steeply inclined seams makes 90% of
all stocks, including 57% - on seams with a inclination more than 60°. At steeply inclined of
seams there is a slide down of the desintegrated coal and the broken-down rock, slide down of
the endogenous fires from the above-located level. In such difficult conditions it is impossible
to apply mechanization and longwall [16-23] and only hydraulic mining of coal provides
effective and safe coal mining. As a perspective method of management of coal mining in
such difficult geological and mining conditions it should be noted a method of the system
analysis and management [24-29].
Coal failure at hydraulic mining is carried out by a hydro monitor with a pressure of water
of 16 MPa and an expense of 400 m3/hour. Entry small on the cross-sectional area (4.8-5.2
m2
) have the trapezoid form of cross section and are carried out by a roadheading machine, a
drilling-and-blasting way or a hydro monitor. Average depth of mining in the area is 200-400
m. With increase in depth of coal mining cases of destruction of a roadway support of entries
in a zone of influence of bearing pressure from the goaf (the mined horizontal slices) therefore
an important practical goal is justification of the location of seams (height of the mined slices)
in various geological conditions for ensuring stability of entries even more often began to be
observed. It should be noted that questions of geomechanical justification of parameters of
technological schemes are relevant for the majority of mines [30-43].
2. METHODS
For studying of change of the stress and strain state of the massif of rocks around entries
numerical researches were conducted by a finite element method. Geomechanical models of
the massif of rocks and settlement schemes were developed. Key parameters of the settlement
scheme (figure 1) are:
- thickness of a seam - m, m;
- seam inclination - , degree;
- depth of mining - H, m;
- the size of the goaf - L, m;
- width of the pillar - Z, m;
- height of the slice - h, m;
- strain-strength properties of coal.
When carrying out a research the option of technology of development applied at mining
of seam with a height 6-8 m which provides carrying out one entry within a horizontal slice
was considered.
At the first stage of researches the key changeable parameter was the height of slice, Other
parameters of the settlement scheme (figure 1), were accepted by constants: m = 7 m; =
600
; H = 300 m; L = 50 m; Z = 10 m.

Figure 1. The settlement scheme for assessment of the impact of height of a slice on the stress and
strain state of the massif of rocks in the neighborhood of the entry
The following stages of researches provided increase in height of the slice by 5 m. Thus
all 3 options of height of the slice were modelled: 7 m, 12 m, 17 m. Modeling was carried out
for coals with various strength: very strength, average strength and low strength.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In figure 2 as an example of the received results stress distribution curve are shown with a
height of slice of 17 m. Apparently from figure 2 in a zone of influence of bearing pressure
from the goaf (earlier extracted slices) considerable concentration of stress is observed.
However, increase in stress by 3 times is observed on the small site at a regional part of the
massif. The entry shown in figure 2 does not come under influence of bearing pressure.

4. Entry Stability in Steeply Inclined Thick Coal Seam at Underground Hydraulic Mining
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 820 editor@iaeme.com
In figure 3 isolines of plastic strain in a regional part of the massif with various height of a
slice are shown. Figure 3,A shows that with the maximum height of a slice of h=17 m in a
regional part of the massif on border with the goaf the zone of extreme limit deformations
extending in the vertical direction down to depth about 6 m is formed. Also zones of a limit
state are formed in the angles of the entry having the trapezoid form of cross section.
Reduction of height of a slice up to 12 m at mining of coals seam a low strength does not
lead to high-quality changes of the provision of zones of an extreme limit state (figure 2, B),
however, owing to strengthening of influence of bearing pressure from goaf, the extent of the
specified zones in the field of influence of bearing pressure – between entry and the goaf -
increases approximately by 20-30%. Besides, the level of plastic strain within the considered
zones considerably increases.
Reduction of height of a slice up to 7 m results in arrangement of entry in the zone of an
extreme limit state created at a regional part of the massif. Owing to what it is observed
(figure 2, C) change of parameters of zones of aт extreme limit state around the entry: forms
of zones in space and the level of plastic strain in their limits. Plastic strain cover completely
all area from a development roof to a regional part of the massif (figure 2, B). Also the zone
of an extreme limit state, essential by the sizes, at development from a layer roof is formed.
Thus, there is an entry destruction.
Figure 3. Plastic strain in the neighborhood of a entry in a zone of influence of mining with various
height of the slice (weak coals): A) at h = 17 m; B) at h = 12 m; C) at h = 7 m
Results of numerical modeling of influence of strength characteristics of coals on the
stress and strain state of the massif around entry are of considerable interest. In figure 4
isolines of plastic strain for various types of coals are presented: very strength (figure 4, C),
average strength (figure 4, B), low strength (figure 4, A).
Figure 4. Plastic strain in the neighborhood of entry in a zone of influence of mining at various
strength of coal: A) very strength; B) average strength; C) low strength
5. Dmitriy Moldovan, Vladimir Chernobai, Natalia Koteleva
http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 821 editor@iaeme.com
Figure 4 shows that strength characteristics of coal determine parameters of all zones of
strain formed both at the goaf and at an entry. So, at mining of strength coals at the considered
depths (300-400 m) when the level of loads in a zone of bearing pressure and strength
characteristics (in this case strength on monoaxial compression) are approximately
comparable, the sizes of zones of a extreme limit state are minimum. Decrease in strength of
coal leads to the fact that the level of stress in a regional part of an entry exceeds extreme
strength characteristics and a part of coal passes into a superlimiting state.
It should be noted that when performing researches properties of the main roof of seam
which according to many researchers can define geomechanical conditions and safety of
mining [44-50] were not considered.
4. CONCLUSIONS
As a result of the executed researches influence of height of the slice and strength of coal on
the stress strain state of the entry located in a zone of bearing pressure is established.
By results of researches the following main conclusions are drawn:
- Stability of entry in zones of bearing pressure, when mining of seams at depths more than
300 m and arrangement of an entry at distance less than 15 m from regional parts of the massif
(height of a slice less than 15 m), is defined by coal strength. At increase in the specified
distance up to 15 m and more - the significant influence of the goaf and a zone of bearing
pressure upon a condition of an entry is not revealed.
- The steady condition of entry during all term of their life time at depths of 300 m can be also
more provided with a slice height (distance from entry to a regional part of the massif) not less
than 10 m;
- Distribution of a zone of extreme limit strain in the neighborhood of local entry and the level
of deformations in the specified zone, with other things being equal, are defined by coal
strength.
- At mining of low strength coals increase in height of the fulfilled slice for decrease in
influence of bearing pressure and ensuring stability of entry is recommended gradual (in
process of increase in number of the fulfilled slices and the sizes of the goaf).
