In the context of mines with steep seams, it is of great importance to solve a problem of accelerating the rates of new horizon preparation by reducing amount of mining operations and applying advanced supports in the capital crosscuts (roof-bolting, shotcreting, and combined supports). In order to substantiate area of the advanced support application in the crosscuts, an integrated mine research was performed, industry-based experiments were carried out, and typical project of consolidating the mine roadways with the help of the shotcrete supports was developed. Analysis of rock pressure manifestations included the following: survey of the mine roadways and over-support areas; mounting of line and deep gauge stations; rock fracture characterization by the cores drilled out from the rock mass; statistical data processing and substantiation of the support parameters by economic-probabilistic methods; development of practical recommendations; and industry-based experiments for verifying the solutions obtained. The following regularities were determined experimentally, which concerned behaviour of rock pressure parameters in the crosscuts driven in the steep stratified rock mass: rock displacements within the contour and in the depth of zone with non-elastic deformations; thicknesses of broken and displaced rocks; inrush heights in the rocks broken by blast and fallen on the bearing support. A new phenomenon was identified: disintegration of rock mass being stable in the contour of the mine roadway cavity. It was determined that rock inrush from area between the anchors was a random value with density distributed by the Laplace law; signs of extremely unstable rocks were defined. Range of use and parameters of the roof-bolting, shotcreting, metal frame, and combined supports were substantiated by the economic-probabilistic approach. The performed research became a basis for development of a standard project for the mine working consolidation by the advanced supports; the supports were tested at industrial scale; and schemes of support setting in the crosscuts were reviewed. The research makes it possible to reduce by 30% expenditures connected with a new mine horizon opening.
