FEATURES OF PROPERTIES AND CONDITION OF THE EMERGENCY ZONES OF COALS
Currently, when high mining performance is a prerequisite for the existence and normal economic condition of a coal enterprise, the problem of providing security for sudden coal and gas emissions is one of the most relevant. The paper presents the basics of the theory of sudden coal and gas emissions, as well as existing methods for predicting the outburst danger of coal seams and methods for preventing sudden gas emissions. The team of the Laboratory of Geomechanics of IPMech RA, developed a method for physical modeling of processes of uneven unloading of coal seams and host rocks from rock pressure, studying their properties, on the basis of which technological methods will be developed for implementing the method of directional reservoir unloading for various mining situations.
