Laboratory of Mining Geomechanics and Rock Mass Bolting

Assessment of liability of mass rock to rock bumps

  • Investigations and assessment of coal and rock liability to rockbursts
  • Investigations and assessment of rock mass liability to rockbursts - index of the liability of rock mass to rock-bumps WTG and index of rock mass kinetic energy WEk
  • System of the geological-geo-mechanical indicatory assessment of the liability of rock mass to rock-bumps "GEO"
  • Index of natural rock-bumps hazard WNT, where geo-mechanical properties of rocks, seam depth and also seismic activity of the rock mass due to mining effects are taken into consideration
  • Consultations - assessment of liability of mass rock to rock bumps.

Investigations into the features and properties of rock and strata (rock mass)

  • Full-scale laboratory tests relating to strength-deformation parameters of coal and rocks (including post-critical parameters)
  • Roof classification
  • Investigations into the state and reach of fractures in strata (rock mass), surrounding mine workings using different methods
  • In situ investigations in respect of strata strength parameters using the borehole penetrometer
  • Investigations and assessment of caved debris stability

Investigations and assessment of slope stability

  • Slope stability assessment in opencast mines
  • Assessment of safe parameters of mined rock tips

Investigations and assessment of suitability of building materials

  • Quality assessment of crushed stone, broken aggregates, concrete articles (setts, sidewalk rims, kerbs), ceramic building products, organic and mineral-organic resins
  • Assessment of massive rock suitability for the needs of building engineering and highway engineering
  • Non-destructive strength tests of concrete constructions (also rock massive) by means of the shock elasticity method

Support selection for safe maintaining of mine workings

  • Determination of support load of mine workings depending on strata properties, rock mass pressure and environment susceptibility to tremors
  • Selection of longwall support
  • Selection of road standing support
  • Design of individual road roof bolting support for working excavations destined for stowing etc
  • Design of auxiliary standing support:
    • road support strenghtening
    • rock mass reinforcement
    • top section anchorage (for crossings with longwalls)
  • Tests and control of bolt operation
  • Tests and control of roof bolting operation
  • Design of specific types of roof bolting (deep roof bolting, barrier roof bolting etc.)
  • Design of protection method against floor quelling
  • Consultations on safe mine working maintenance in places of specific rock mass structure disturbance
