Abstract
This paper presents the results of investigating shallow rock mass layers with the use of electrical resistivity tomography. The aim of the study was to assess the condition of near-surface rock mass layers located above shallow mining workings of a historical mine in view of the possibility of the occurrence of loose zones or possible voids that could pose a sinkhole hazard for the surface. The study was carried out under the conditions of the “Sztygarka” Training Mine and Museum in Dąbrowa Górnicza City (Upper Silesian Coal Basin, Poland), where discontinuous surface deformations occurred in the past in the form of sinkholes. The study and its interpretation indicate the existence of a sinkhole hazard due to the ongoing processes of the transformation of the near-surface rock mass layers above the shallow workings of a historical mine.
