ACCOUNTING FOR THE INFLUENCE OF STRESS STATE OF THE ROCK MASS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MONITORING SYSTEMS FOR DEEP QUARRIES
Abstract
This study focuses on the assessment and monitoring of the stress-strain state (SSS) of rock masses under conditions of increasing open-pit mining depth. It examines the influence of natural stresses on the stability of rock formations and the consequences of their disturbance during mining operations, including the risks of deformation and collapse. Particular attention is given to modern geomechanical monitoring methods, which include both direct and indirect (geophysical) approaches, as well as the use of computer modeling to assess the current condition of the rock mass. The main stages of organizing a monitoring system are presented, from the construction of an engineering-geological model to the development of preventive measures and response protocols. The study considers methods for measuring stress, strain, and dynamic processes, along with the application of radar systems for timely detection of hazardous zones. The practical implementation of the proposed methods was carried out at the Kacharsky open-pit mine, where an integrated monitoring system was deployed to enhance the safety and efficiency of mining operations, reduce the risk of emergencies, and ensure the reliable operation of deep open-pit mines.
