Ocena zagrożenia tąpaniami w kopalniach podziemnych uwzględniająca parametry drgań blisko ognisk wstrząsów - doświadczenia z polskich kopalń

To study the rockburst hazard and underground mine working stability it is essential to know not only the static loads but also the dynamic loads. The performed analysis of the effects of mine tremors from the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, and of their intensity and various types of damage, clearly shows that they only occurred when the tremor sources were located close to the openings (mostly up to 100 m). These observations show that the ground motions parameters at such distances may be crucial for the occurrence of a rockburst because the high values of the PPV parameter are proportional to high dynamic stresses and underground hazards. An empirical criterion for potential rockburst hazard has been developed based on the worked out correlation dependences. In analyzing the documented database of 120 rockbursts from the Upper Silesian Coal Basin that occurred during a period from 1988 to 2006, the above mentioned criterion was verified. It has been found, that 90% of the rockbursts occurred in the area where peak particle velocity (PPV) reached values ranging from 0,05 m/s to 1 m/s. The investigation results presented in this this paper may be used in both the spatial and time table planning of mining operations under predicted high seismicity conditions and the rational choice of support and preventive actions ensuring functionality of mine workings and improvement in work safety level.
