GEOMECHANICAL MODELING IN MINING AT THE ELGINSKY DEPOSIT

Abstract

Using the Elginsky coal deposit as an example, the relevance of building digital models of geological objects to control the geomechanical condition of open-pit walls is shown. Physico-mechanical properties of overburden rocks are given. The results of numerical simulation of stress-strain state of the rock mass are presented. The directions of general stress displacements and zones of maximum displacements of the open-pit wall are determined and the maps of their distribution are compiled. It is shown that lower benches are more susceptible to tension.
