The article presents seismic system MIKON-GEO designed for the continuous monitoring and forecasting of rock mass stability and risk of hazardous geotechnical processes and trialed in underground construction and coal mining. The specialized processing system for seismic data is based on the fundamental Biot’s theory of functional connection between “minor” stress tensor components in a seismic wave and “major” stress tensor components in the same volume of rocks and implements the remote estimate of structure and parameters of stress–strain state in rock mass around a planned excavation at a distance from a few meters to a few tens meters. The authors describe basic elements of a model of rock mass with a discrete (block) structure; seismic location method; examples of estimation of elastic moduli and relative values of gradients of overall rock pressure and detection of disintegration zones (rock mass discontinuity) under particular geotechnical conditions in underground construction or drivage and mining. The system is mainly intended for the continuous monitoring and forecasting of hazardous gas-dynamic events with the purpose of timely decision-making on safety of mining and construction or on protection of buildings and structures on the ground surface above the control rock mass. The system is completely automated and consistent with the communication protocols of standard communication channels (mine, Internet, cellular communication). The authors specify the ways of the further improvement and development of remote seismic control and forecasting systems for hazardous gas-mechanical events.
The study was conducted in the framework of the state assignment on scientific work, No. 2014/235.
