Some specific procedures in solving the deformation vector for mining undermined areas
Abstract
On the present in accretive exigencies to people and its property protection, there is security one from priority needs and tasks of all countries or their groupings around the world. In the environment protection, which an unspoiled ecosystem is a condition of human living, it is needed to protect people and its property against the negative industrial influences. The mining activity influence on the environment belongs to the most negative industrial influences. As a result of underground mining of the mineral deposits in the surface creates the subsidence trough, i.e. caving zone (area) dangerous for the movement of people in this zone. Character and size of the subsidence on the surface depends mainly on depends mainly on the geotectonic ratios of rock massif above the mined out area. Knowing the extent of the subsidence trough in mining areas is determining to prevent the entry of persons into these danger zones. Conditioning factors to establish the extent of the movement of the earth's surface above the mined out area are a geodetic way surveyed deformation vectors which can be derived from the processing of measurements at monitoring stations based on these mining tangent territories. 3D (three-dimensional) deformation vectors most adequately characterize movements of ground, buildings and other engineering structures above the mined out area. The article gives the specific case of the deformation vectors solutions in a case of disruption of the geodetic network structure at a monitoring station during periodical measurements. The theory of this specific solution of the deformation vectors was developed for the mining area near the city of Kosice in Slovakia. Some numerical and graphical results from the deformation vectors estimation in the magnesite deposit Kosice-Bankov are presented. The obtained results are transformed into GIS (Geographical Information Systems) for the needs of local governments.
