Modeling of Geomechanical Processes in the Fields in the Conditions of Digital Transformation of Mining Enterprises

Abstract

The integrated digitalization of the mining enterprise can provide a positive effect from the optimization of the relationships between the elements of the mining system. Digitalization involves the transition from fragmentary automation of individual stages or processes to fully automated production, controlled in real time by intelligent systems. 3D models, including geological and structural analysis and geodynamic modeling of the geological structures of the deposit, should be used for a more accurate and objective view of the state of the rock mass and its changes over time. The creation of an integrated geomechanical model of the field, including a geological model, models of rock mass and rock properties, structural, hydrogeological, and others, allows for current monitoring and long-term forecast of the stress-strain state of the geomedium of mining enterprises.

Optimizing the contours of open pit mining with the use of mining and geological information systems and technologies

“…Researchers have paid much attention to the issue of eliminating this shortcoming in mining planning. Thus, a number of researchers [ [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]] believe that when optimizing, it is important to take into account the opening scheme, to introduce changes in the slope angle of the open-pit wall with haulage berms placed on it, into the calculations. Such a solution will make it possible to model the optimal open pit with its corners in accordance with the design contour.…”
