elasticity theory, plane deformation, rock mass, layering.

A structural model of an anisotropic medium is proposed for calculating the stressstrain state in intact rock massifs, which takes into account a number of mining and geological factors. The results of the analytical solution allowed us to explain the facts known from the practice of field observations (the possibility of the superiority of horizontal stresses over vertical ones, the piecewise linear nature of stresses, etc.), which were in contradiction with the widespread hypotheses about the distribution of stresses in rock massifs.
