The Central Asian states’ role in the world mining industry

Abstract

The growing needs of mankind for minerals predetermine a systematic increase in the scope of mining operations. However, it is known that mineral resources are not evenly distributed in the bowels of the earth; therefore, due to their production, some regions of our planet can significantly outstrip other regions in their technical and, as a result, economic development; hence, the constant need to extract more minerals in order to develop the domestic industry and to strengthen the economy. This paper is devoted to the Central Asian states, their internal structure, economic integration into the world economy, and the mining sector development as the basis of a successful model for the development of the country as a whole. The study summarizes and analyzes the political system and socio-economic conditions in the Central Asian states. It presents a brief overview of the scale of mining operations; provides information about the mining industry structure in each country and the proceeds from its sales. Taking the Central Asian states as an example, we demonstrate the importance of the mining sector as an integral part of a country’s domestic economic structure.

“…Mining industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan has become one of the most competitive industries in the country, having achieved stable growth at the beginning of the XXI century. This success is largely due to attracting foreign investment to develop this sector of the economy [10]- [13].…”

Restoration of underground water-carrying structures damaged by external non-stationary impacts

“…With the help of computer simulation, the immersion process is calculated and the situation of sudden shell failures is simulated. For modeling and calculations, the finite method (FEM) and programs for design and geotechnical calculations [9,10]. Fragments of the calculation of non-stationary immersion of a large-sized massive reinforced concrete shell (with a diameter and depth of more than 70 m, with a wall thickness of 2.5 m and the number of volumetric finite elements up to 364 thousand elements), falling under its own weight at an angle of 12 ° -24 ° from an estimated height of up to 280 cm height onto pliable soil of different strength soil (from E= 4 MPa to E= 19 MPa).…”
