AP23489372 "Investigation of the geomechanical condition of the mountain range and development of a geomechanical integrated monitoring technique for predicting deformation processes during subsurface development"

Relevance

A geomechanical monitoring technique was developed, which increased the efficiency of ore extraction and reduced losses due to deformations and damage to equipment, as well as reduced the cost of restoration work. There has been a reduction in the risk of collapses and deformations in mountain ranges, an increase in productivity, and a reduction in environmental impact. New monitoring methods and technologies have been developed that have increased the safety and efficiency of mining operations.

Purpose

Development of a comprehensive geomechanical monitoring methodology that will effectively monitor the geotechnical condition of the mountain range and predict deformation processes during development.

Expected and achieved results

The study investigated both theoretical and practical aspects of developing mining-geological, mining-technical, and geomechanical documentation to determine the geological characteristics of the deposit. This included the analysis of mining operation parameters, technologies used, engineering solutions, as well as the evaluation of the physical and mechanical properties of the rocks. Accurate coordinate data of mining excavations, cross-sections, and other objects were collected and processed. The analysis of surveying-geodetic measurements was carried out to evaluate the geometric parameters of excavations and the stability of rock masses. The most suitable tools and technologies for measuring various parameters of the rock mass condition were selected, including geodetic instruments, geophysical sensors, and deformation sensors. A reconnaissance of the area was carried out to determine optimal locations for installing measurement points and sensors. As a result of the research, 2 articles were published in peer-reviewed journals, and 1 article is in print. These results are of practical importance for improving the safety and efficiency of mining operations.
