Controlling the structural distortions of mine-field rock masses using the parameters of mechanoelectric transformations

Abstract

Field measurements of electromagnetic emission intensity were performed by picket profiling in the Tashtagol mine workings. Increased emissions from rock contacts in the mine mass were found. The possibility of detecting latent structural distortions in mine workings by the developed method of monitoring and controlling the changes in the stressed-strained state of rock masses with the characteristics of electromagnetic emission was shown.
