Estimate of Initial Stresses in Rock Mass of the Upper Kama Region Based on Block Hierarchical Model

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

Theoretical estimate of regional and local initial stresses in the rock mass of the Upper Kama deposit was made by the finite-element method on the basis of geomechanical models designed according to geological and geophysical data. Practical recommendations are given for taking into account the results obtained in developing the systems of potash deposit mining, as well as in designing the underground structures for industrial and civil purpose.
