Purpose.Increasing the load-bearing capacity of metal arch supports used to maintain the mine workings due to strengthening in places with the highest bending moment. Methods. The stress-strain state of the rock mass and support is analyzed using the ANSYS software package. The problem is studied in three variants: a support without strengtheners, a support with one strengthener in the area with the maximum bending moment, and a support with three strengtheners in the areas with the highest bending moments. To determine the bending moments and normal forces in a three-section metal arch support, the finite element method is used for specific and existing conditions, which is followed by the selection of the required standard size of the support. Findings. The conducted research gives reasons to believe that the proposed variant for increasing the load-bearing capacity of the support, made from a special replaceable rolled profile (SCP), can significantly improve the state of mine workings. Obviously, the proposed solution can be applied not only to arch supports, but also to other structures of rolled metal support. Originality. The pattern of changes in the values of internal forces arising in metal arch frame supports, depending on the deformation characteristics, the location of the strengtheners, as well as on the geometric characteristics of the mine working and the ratio of lateral and vertical loads on the support, has been determined. Practical implications. The proposed variant for increasing the load-bearing capacity of the support can be used to sustainably maintain mine workings in difficult mining-geological conditions of the Karaganda Coal Basin mines.
