title: "APPROACHES TO EXCESSIVELY RELEASED ROCK MASS DETERMINATIONIN LONGWALL TOP COAL CAVING TECHNOLOGY"
abstract: Due to the exhaustion of easily accessible coal seam deposits, the urgency of developing hard-to-recover reserves from thick seams is increasing.To increase the efficiency of underground mining, promising technologies are used with longwall top coal caving in areal or wave modes.The work is devoted to the study of the releasing rock mass process and substantiating the support sections elements parameters of the mechanized complex on the developed simulation model.The object of the study was the
