Based on experimental data analysis and obtained by the author novel solutions on distribution of stress fields and deformations in rock mass enclosing mine workings it is shown that in the course of deformation rock mass undergoes successively discrete series of states that correspond to a definite ratio of physical-mechanical properties of rock mass and rock pressure level. It is determine that when an outline of mine working is deformed by 12-18\%, the latter bifurcates (looses its stability) that corresponds t...

Based on a two-level model for the zone of non-reversible deformations that is produced near mine working, bifurcation-type criterion is developed for stability of heterogeneous rock mass. A new approach to calculate parameters of mine working lining has been proposed. It is based on the treatment on energy balance of “lining-rock mass". Geomechanical criteria of mine working lining stability are obtained.
