Geomechanical monitoring of the rock mass state is an actively developing branch of geomechanics, in which it is impossible to distinguish a single methodology and approaches for solving problems, collecting and analyzing data when developing seismic monitoring systems. During mining operations, all natural factors are subject to changes. During the mining of a rock mass, changes in the state of structural inhomogeneities are most clearly manifested: the existing natural structural inhomogeneities are revealed; there are movements in discontinuous disturbances (faults); new man-made disturbances (cracks) are formed, which are accompanied by changes in the natural stress state of various blocks of the rock mass. The developed method for evaluating the results of monitoring geomechanical processes in the rock mass on the example of the United Kirovsk mine of the CF AO Apatit allowed to solve one of the main tasks of the geomonitoring system – to predict the location of zones of possible occurrence of dangerous manifestations of rock pressure.
The paper describes the main approaches to assess the geodynamic state rock mass in order to select the optimal location of the drillholes during the degassing of coal seams of promising fields of Kuzbass from the surface.
Consideration is given to the problem of control of thermal regime at ore mines, where mining operations are carried out within the permafrost massif both in normal situation and in the case of accident. Technical solutions were suggested, providing safe conditions of work by temperature factor in normal situation, and also allowing to save life of miners, and to produce suitable conditions for liquidation of appeared accident.
The article described the methods for the use of specialized application of software on the stages of exploration, design, planning and maintenance of mining operations and also in abandonment or conservation of mineral resources deposits.
