The main problem in applying existing geomechanical software suits is the fact that the process of developing the starting geological and structural model of a deposit is extremely complex, which is due to lack of automation in collecting separate data on initial geological and geomechanical conditions. The purpose of this research is to develop a software suite for detecting zones potentially prone to rock bursts. The research methodology includes analyzing causes of mine destruction and identifying the most infl...

In the paper underground monitoring measurement system for continuous measurement of load changes in instrumented rockbolts was presented. The use of anchor casings creates an effective method of protecting underground mine excavations in KGHM Polska Mied? S.A. mines. Foundation for technical assumptions of original monitoring method was trial measurement period carried out in two underground copper mines of KGHM Polska Mied? S.A. between 2005 and 2008. The main aim was to receive interaction between load variatio...

Mining is a complex and staged process that includes: prospecting, documenting, and mine planning, opening up and extraction of mineral (mining, transport, processing and deposition of waste), revitalisation and re-development of former mining area. Mining permit and decision on environmental impact of the enterprise are required prior to commencement of mining. During and after end of mining, impact of mineral extraction on surrounding environment, including surface deformation and the related mining damage, wate...

Nowadays surveying ? geological departments of Polish coal mines conduct forecasts of leverages of underground mining on area and construction works based on J. Bialek?s formulas including, among others, distant leverages, reactivation of old workings and mining margin. The objective of this article is the adequacy study of the conducted forecasts of area deformation in this way with relation to real values of deformation indicators confirmed by surveys. For this purpose, an example of a really terminated exploita...

Conditions of the microclimate prevailing in mine workings are one of the most important factors influencing on the comfort and safety of the working mine crews. This climate depends on parameters of the ventilated air stream and conditions prevailing in these workings. Parameters having the most important influence on the conditions of microclimate are temperature of the air and rock mass, humidity, velocity of air stream and average temperature of radiation of wall surface of the working. Nowadays, due to the la...

The article presents the way of conducting a forecast of leverages of underground mining run by longwall fronts in three deposits of hard coal on the area. The forecasted values of subsidences, inclinations and curvatures of mining area were calculated by the Budryk- Knothe theory with the use of typical values of its parameters, namely, a coefficient of subsidence of floor rocks equal to 0.8 and tangent of scope angle of main leverages amounting to 2.0. The forecasts of indicators? values of area deformation were...
