Drill And Blast

The combined mining under the condition of underground mining in the aquifer rock mass of the open-pit sides raises an acute issue of joint drill-and-blast works (D&B). The construction of an underground mine begins normally with the approach of the open-pit mine depth to the final marks. In this situation, if there is a volume for the cutback, it is very small, and the blast works come close to the limit open-pit contour, behind which the protected rock mass is located and in the future the underground mining is supposed to be carried out. The main task in the drill-and-blast works under such conditions is to preserve the stability of this rock mass. The well-timed shielding of the blast and creating the fracture surfaces by the trim blasting reduce the negative impact of the blast on the open-pit side, but do not always prevent the propagation of stress waves caused by the seismic effect along the rock mass. Therefore, restriction of the seismic effect of blast in the border zone is as important for the stability of the rock mass as professional deviated contour holes.

The Stability

The issue of joint production of drilling-and-blasting operations (DBO) is acute in the combined field workings with the condition of underground mining in the edge massif of the pit walls. Normally, the underground mine construction begins with the quarry depth approaching the end marks. In this situation, even if there is any volume for wall cutback, it is very insignificant and blasting works come closely to the limit circuit of the quarry, behind which the protected massif is located and underground workings is supposed to be carried out in the future. The main task in carrying out DBO under such conditions is to maintain the stability of this massif. Timely explosion shielding and the creation of contour fracture surfaces by applying controlled blasting reduce the negative explosion impact on the edge, yet do not always prevent the stress waves spread across the massif caused by seismic effect. Therefore, limiting the explosion seismic action in the border zone is as important for the massif stability as the professional pre-splitting.

The slope stability in an open-pit mine is closely related to the production safety and economic benefit of the mine. As a result of the increase in the number and scale of mine slopes, slope instability is frequently encountered in mines. Therefore, it is of scientific and social significance to strengthen the study of the stability of the slope rock mass. To accurately classify the stability of the slope rock mass in an open-pit mine, a new stability evaluation model of the slope rock mass was established based on variable weight and matter–element extension theory. First, based on the main evaluation indexes of geology, the environment, and engineering, the stability evaluation index system of the slope rock mass was constructed using the corresponding classification criteria of the evaluation index. Second, the constant weight of the evaluation index value was calculated using extremum entropy theory, and variable weight theory was used to optimize the constant weight to obtain the variable weight of the evaluation index value. Based on matter–element extension theory, the comprehensive correlation between the upper and lower limit indexes in the classification criteria and each classification was calculated, in addition to the comprehensive correlation between the rock mass indexes and the stability grade of each slope. Finally, the grade variable method was used to calculate the grade variable interval corresponding to the classification criteria of the evaluation index and the grade variable value of each slope rock mass, so as to determine the stability grade of the slope rock. The comparison results showed that the classification results of the proposed model are in line with engineering practice, and more accurate than those of the hierarchical-extension model and the multi-level unascertained measure-set pair analysis model.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract Under a background of coordinated open-pit and underground mining engineering practice in the Pingshuo mining area, a combination of numerical simulations and similar-model experiments was used to study the influence of the underground mining direction on slope deformation in two dimensions. The results show that the disturbance caused by inverse-slope mining is more obvious than that caused by along-slope mining. Underground mining presents an asymmetric influence on the open-pit slope; the slope rock mass on the open-off cut side is disturbed more than that on the coal-wall side. Compared with the slope in front of the advancing direction of the underground mining face, the degree of rock-mass damage and stress concentration of the slope of the open-off cut side are more serious. As such, in coordinated open-pit and underground mining practice, an along-slope mining direction is recommended to reduce adverse effects on slope stability and improve the recovery rate of coal resources.

Seismic Impact

Seismic impact of technological explosions on underground mining workings of the Magnezitovaya mine was assessed. Seismic stability of rocks of the Magnezitovaya mine was determined and safe distances from technological explosions have been calculated by the admissible seismic effect for rocks. URAN and Minimate Plus seismic recorders with three-component seismic receivers were used to establish the dynamic impact on the mine workings. Based on comparison of calculated values and experimental measurements, the recommendations are given for explosive mass limitation at a slowing-down stage at a level of minimum dangerous values for technological explosions in underground mine. It is established that the blasting operations carried out at the Magnezitovaya mine of PAO Magnezit Combine with fan longhole stopping were performed with the seismic impact safety of underground technological explosion and will not lead to the loss of rock mass stability near the underground workings. Relevance of these studies is to ensure industrial safety of underground mining operations.
