Study of the Dynamic Loading Impact on the Design of Pentices when Sinking Vertical Mine Shafts

Based on the reconstruction project for Gorno-Shorsky branch of JSC “Evrazruda” developed by JSC “Giproruda” to maintain the enterprise’s production capacity of 6 million tons per year, the shaft “Skipovoy” should be sunk from the level of 115 m to the level of 85 m. Due to the fact that the reconstruction period was to be shortened, the employees of LLC “SibGorComplex Engineering” together with the Underground and Mine Construction Department of T.F. Gorbachev Kuzbass State Technical University developed several variants of new design of wedge pentices for vertical mine shaft sinking under hoisting operations. The results of studies of the dynamic loading impact on the design of safety devices in skip shaft sinking are presented in the article. Based on the method of designing the force action essentials for the emergency skip dumping, the functions allowing determining the value of the impact on the main structural elements of pentices completely bridging over the shaft cross-section that can be used to substantiate the design parameters of new wedge pentices
