ABSTRACT

Ensuring in the possibility of the reuse of the layered workings allows cutting the prime costs of the coal mining. In the conditions of most mines in Ukraine such task requires the difficult approach to the workings protection. Complication of this task decision consists of the necessity of the search in optimum combination of support elements of the layered working. To expose such combination is only possible on the basis in the analysis of the working moving contour, during its exploitation.
