Numerical Simulations of Geomechanical State of Rock Mass Prior to Seismic Events Occurrence: Case Study From a Polish Copper Mine Aided by FEM 3D Approach
Witold Pytel, Piotr Mertuszka, Tristan Jones +1
The biggest risk to operations in Polish copper is high-energy seismic tremors where hypocenters are located within the main roof strata. These phenomena occur often in the areas w…
Blasting Operations Using Different Initiation Methods in Deep Underground Mines
Marcin Szumny, Piotr Mertuszka, Krzysztof Fuławka +2
Among different types of hazards associated with underground mining in Polish copper mines, one of the most dangerous is rock burst hazard. Having in mind that the depth of exploit…
Geomechanical Risk Analysis for the Historical Salt Cavern Saurau in Wieliczka Mine
Witold Pytel, Jozef Parchanowicz, Piotr Mertuszka
Based on the finite element method formulated in three dimensions, a selected area of the salt mine has been modeled, embracing totally 2 separated, historically valuable mine room…
Seismic peak partcile velocity and acceleration response to mining faces firing in a light of numerical modeling and underground measurements
Witold Pytel, Piotr Mertuszka, Adam Lurka +2
Extraction of the copper ore deposit in the Legnica-Glogow Copper Basin in Poland is usually associated with high seismic activity. In order to face this threats, a number of organ…
Roof fall hazard due to blasting activity in the light of numerical modeling and underground measurements
Witold Pytel, Krzysztof Fulawka, Piotr Mertuszka +1
One of the major problems associated with exploitation of the copper ore deposit in underground mines in Poland is the local disturbance in a state of stable equilibrium manifested…
Seismic Effect Of Group Winning Blasting, Case Study From A Polish Copper Mine
Piotr Mertuszka, Krzysztof Fulawka, Lech Stolecki +1
The group winning blasting is one of the most often applied method of high-energy tremors provoking in underground mines of the Lower Silesian Copper Basin. The simultaneous detona…
