Evaluation of Load Capacity of Shaft Collar Subject to Unintended Exceptional Loads

Abstract

The article presents an evaluation of the technical conditions of the shaft collar as well as its load capacity in which the consequences of uncontrolled displacement of part of the ventilation drift could have caused additional stress to occur. On the basis of comprehensive diagnostic examination undertaken by the authors, a comprehensive analysis of the static resistance of the shaft collar, which takes into consideration the exceptional unintended load. Examinations as well as calculations carried out have allowed for the evaluation of the practical degree of danger for shaft objects (constructions) as well as their infrastructure.
