<p>The objective of the research was to investigate the process of rock mass recompaction related to groundwater rebound induced by underground mining. Research has been conducted in the area of the closed copper ore mine (Konrad) as well as the anhydrite and gypsum mine (Lubichów) in south-eastern Poland.</p><p>The mining operation was carried out in the years 1944-2001 in the area of the Konrad mine and 1944-2015 in the area of the Lubichów mine. It resulted in substantial land subsidence of up to 1.4 m and drainage of the aquifer system. However, it is estimated that the subsidence caused by groundwater pumping during these periods was 0.3 m in total. Furthermore, the spatial extent of the depression cone in the aquifer system immediately after the cessation of exploitation significantly exceeded the limits of the mining areas. Following the closure of the mine, a continuous increase in the groundwater head and land uplift is observed.</p><p>Classical survey results and the Persistent Scatter Satellite Radar Interferometry (PSInSAR) method were used to determine land surface movements in the period from November 2015 to November 2020. The results of the research show in the area of the Lubichów mine closed in June 2015, vertical land uplift reached a maximum of approx. 92 mm in that period. At the same time, in the Konrad mine area, closed in March 2001, no significant land uplift was observed. However, the main part of the investigation concerned the development of a novel method of land uplifting prediction. As a result, an attempt was made to comparatively analyze the dynamics of land uplift associated with the life cycle of the mine and the increase in the groundwater head.</p><p>These analyzes allowed the time factor for the modelling of the land uplift to be determined. This time factor is approx. 5 months in the area of the Lubichów mine and indicates that there is a time lag between the start of the groundwater head increase and the land uplift occurrence. Also, the investigation revealed that land uplift will occur in the analyzed area for the next five years. However, the dynamics of such movements will gradually decline in the years to come.</p><p>The methodology developed could be applied to any post-mining area where groundwater rebound-related uplifts are observed. It may be an appropriate tool for estimating both the time during which the land uplift is expected to begin after the mine drainage has been stopped, as well as the total duration of the land uplift phenomena.</p>

Ensuring the stability of mining excavations is a crucial aspect of underground mining. For thispurpose, appropriate shapes, dimensions, and support of workings are designed for the given mining andgeological conditions. However, for the proper assessment of the adequacy of the used technical solutions,and the calibration of the models used in the support design, it is necessary to monitor the behavior of theexcavation. It should apply to the rock mass and the support. The paper presents the automatic systemdesigned for underground workings monitoring, and the example of its use in the heading. Electronicdevices that measure the rock mass movements in the roof, the load on the standing support, and on bolts,the stress in the rock mass, are connected to the datalogger and can collect data for a long of time withoutany maintenance, also in hard-to-reach places. This feature enables the system to be widely used, inparticular, in excavations in the vicinity of exploitation, goafs, or in the area of a liquidated exploitationfield.

Reserch relaevance. Most ground movements are generally due to rock instability, this natural phenomenon poses a risk to humanity. The properties of the rock mass directly influence the type of movement especially in underground structures. Research aim. Our goal is to characterize and classify the rock mass of diatomite from the sig mine using geomechanical classification systems such as the RQD and RMR in order to determine the quality of the rocks in the sig mine Western Algeria from the determination of the physical and mechanical properties. Methodology. In this article, the characterization analysis of the diatomite rock mass of the sig mine was carried out. First, determinations of the physical properties and carried out the triaxial test to determine the mechanical properties (young’s modulus, the friction angle, the dilatancy angle, the cohesion, the poisson’s ratio). Secondly to classify the deposit and give a recommendation to avoid stability problems. Research results. The results from physical and mechanical analyzes, it can be said that the nature of the rock present in the diatomite (underground mine) does not have enough resistance. Conclusion. Our study definitively proves that the rock mass of sig diatomite is of very low quality and it will be very dangerous for the underground mining work of the mine especially in places where the mineralized layer is very deep. And we suggest to replace the mining technique room and pillar currently used in the diatomite mine and put another mining method which includes roof support system to ensure the safety both of the miners and the equipment.

At present, to ensure seismic safety in massive explosions, the analytical dependence of the determination of the vibration velocity of M.A. Sadovsky rock mass is mainly used. This dependence is widely used in the creation of seismic-safe technologies for mineral deposits open-pit and underground mining. However, scientific research and production experience showed that the rate of oscillation depends on the energy parameters of the explosive, the diameter and length of its charges, the number of simultaneously exploded charges, the number of deceleration stages, the deceleration interval, etc. The purpose of this article is to predict the speed fluctuations of the massif on the earth surface when conducting the underground explosions depending on the parameters of large-scale explosions and physical-technical properties of the rock masses in the areas of explosion of the protected object. The formulas for calculating the velocity of rock mass on the earth surface during large-scale explosions in the underground conditions are substantiated and presented. The formulas were used for calculating the vibration velocities of the rock mass on the earth surface in accordance with the parameters of drilling and blasting operations during large-scale explosions in the mines of GK VostGOK. Comparison of theoretical (calculated) data and the results of actual measurements indicates their convergence. By changing the controlled parameters in the calculation formulas, it is possible to quantitatively reduce the seismic effect of a large-scale explosions on the protected objects. Further research will be aimed at studying the influence of tectonic faults, artificial contour crevices, filling massif or mined-out space on the rate of seismic-explosive vibrations during blasting operations in the mines. The research results can be used in the preparation of rules for conducting large-scale explosions at the underground mining.

Underground mining operations are often associated with the necessity to use explosives. Several hundreds of kilograms of explosives, subdivided into small charges suitable for a specific mining job, are used each time in a blasting operation. In many cases, mining engineers carry out remote central blasting works, which means that all the charges placed at faces are initiated from one control point (usually, a control room in the mine) at the same time. Such coordinated explosions generate para-seismic movements whose consequences can be felt on land surface, with subsequent effects identified in buildings and structures. This paper discusses briefly selected standards applicable to the harmful para-seismic impacts. The author presents the results of the research conducted with the intention to identify harmful effects of the basting works carried out in the “Kłodawa” Salt Mine.

One of the difficult issues in underground mining is the ground control of roadway subject to mining induced stresses. As a longwall face advances, the state of initial stresses dramatically changes. Accordingly, lateral abutment pressure forms on the pillar and frontal abutment pressure on the roof and lateral sides of the roadway. These pressures will lead to severe deformation and deterioration of the rock mass surrounding the entries. In this paper, a systemic study on this issue is proposed using the combination of numerical modeling and in-situ monitoring which was carried out at a coal mine in the Lu.An Group, China. The condition of stress redistribution caused by mining-induced stresses and the state of the surrounding rock mass of the roadway situated in front the work face are systematically investigated. Different patterns of support and reinforcement as well as their effects on the stability of the roadway are also presented.
