The method of successive geomechanical estimation of stress-strain state of rock mass at different scale levels was developed. This method allows to carry out the regional and local prediction of formation of stress concentrated zones, and also to develop and adopt technology, which provides the decrease of dynamic rock pressure manifestations and rock burst prevention at mineral deposits.
The results of modeling of rock mass stress state in the vicinity of large open pit mine using finite-elements method are represented. The model allows to take into account the influence of large-scale fractures. The initiation of boundary conditions is based on the results of determination of stress parameters in situ. The locations of risk areas near the slope are defined.
