The Need of Elastic Material Component between Rock Pressure Load and Metallic Structure Way of Receiving it in Order to Obtain a Uniform Load

Abstract

In galleries digged for different type of uses, but mostly for extracting coal, hydrotechnical adduction galleries but also for tunnels, after the dislocation of the rocks is done, the tenssions in the rock changes massively. We take for example a metallic structure used as provisory structure until the rock pressure stabilize and used in Petroșani Romania, coal mines. The galleries are digged with explosives and the shockwave gives excessive cracks and disturb the rock pressure and its characteristics. The space between the metallic structure, rock walls and bolt is filled with wood, but this article suggests a rubber band material so the rock pressure to be distributed uniformly and not concentrated in the contact points between the wood and metal profile.
