In Poland, in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, underground exploitation of coal seams has been conducted for numerous years, causing a gradual depletion of deposits from previously mined levels. Hence, the depth of mining works carried out each year increases by 5 ? 8 m on average. Currently, already several mines operate at the level of 1,000 m and greater. Designing ground support of excavation and maintaining its functionality at such significant depths has, therefore, become a very important issue from a practic...

In this article, the stages of creating three-dimensional geomechanical models in the development of deposits by open method are considered in detail, based on the results of calculating the safety factor of the open pit sides. The geomechanical model consists of four main components - geological, structural, hydrogeological models and rock mass model. The models are based on the geological, hydrogeological, geotechnical data of the field. Such geomechanical models allow to optimize the work of the whole enterpris...

Systematization of ore deposits is carried out according to geomechanical conditions on the basis of tectonic features. In total, more than 120 underground mines have been analyzed. Four models of the geo-environment are distinguished. They make it possible to differentially describe the nature of the change in the stress state with increasing depth. The efficiency and reliability of the use of typical geomechanical conditions of rock massifs for determining the field of application of geotechnologies is shown. Co...

The underground mining of a deposit leads inevitably to the deformation of the surface as well as to the destruction of the buildings located in the area of influence of the extraction. Therefore, the rocks surrounding the excavation, created by the extraction process, go from the initial equilibrium state of tensions (triaxial) to a biaxial or even uniaxial stress state. This secondary state of tension leads to the occurrence of rock breaking phenomena in the areas where their resistance are exceeded, respectivel...

The Makmal gold deposit is located in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. As a result of mining operations, under the bottom of the quarry, an open worked out space was formed with access to the surface above each chamber and overhanging rock consoles. This mining situation at the field caused the danger of sudden collapses of rock consoles and the walls of the chambers of the separating pillar. In this article, in order to justify the method of filling the voids and choosing the technology for the extraction of the pilla...

The purpose of this expertise is to evaluate by mathematical modeling the stability of the slag and ash deposit Compartment II Emergency Cicani, which will be carried out on the past site of the Cicani Mid-East compartment by elevation with a height of 3,0-3,5 m, up to + 178mdMN. The deposit will be made using the "thick slurry" technology, having as foundation the deposition of slag and ash existing in the Cicani Middle + East (existing) compartment, made by the hydraulic transport technology. The basses of the e...

When new constructions are performed near existing tunnels, emergency situations are often reached. Emergencies affect both the safety of the old tunnel and the stability of the natural environment. Emergency state parameters are examined for the causes of this degree of uncertainty. On the basis of an example from the practice, technical guidelines and measures are proposed to overcome the accidents and to permanently restore the security of the existing tunnels and sites affected by the new construction. Recomme...

The paper presents the impact of variable environment acidity and low temperature on the stability of biosensor receptor layer component BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin). With the use of UV/Vis spectrophotometer, absorption spectra in range (250-300nm) was taken to study conformational changes of the protein with time after exposition to different factors. The results showed an increase in absorption, associated with the conformational changes of BSA with time. A significant decrease in the absorption intensity was note...

With climate changes, fortified steep slopes on the road infrastructure are suddenly aggravated by the sudden change in temperature and the rapid melting of accumulated snow. Increased water quantities cause surface and underground flows that turn the slopes into running earth and falling rock fragments. The drained earth mass and the rocks not only break the road bed, but also create a real threat to the safety of people and vehicles. The report, based on an example from practice, discusses aspects of some techni...
