The paper deals with a new criterion of evaluating the disintegration by blasting operations using cylindrical as well as concentrated charges in quarries and undergrounds. The results of our research show that for seismic safety determination of blasting, the maximum of concentrated charge blasting in one delay stage is not critical, but decisive is the explosion of the total mass of blasting material., Blažej Pandula and Kamila Jelšovská., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
A modern seismological network with telemetric data transfer has been constructed in southern Bohemia. The network is made up of 5 stations equipped with Reftek DAS (Data Acquistion System) 130-01 Broadband Seismic Recorders and GeoSIG VE-53 triaxial velocity sensors with a natural frequency of 1 Hz. The network works at a sample rate of 250 Hz. The main purpose of this network is to monitor local seismicity in southern Bohemia with a special focus on seismic activity in the vicinity of the Temelin NPP. The sensitivity in the central part of the network is at least 0.0 ML. In addition to monitoring local tectonic movements it also monitors the effects of Alpine earthquakes in the area of southern Bohemia. For this reason one of the sites on the network is equipped with a GeoSIG AC-63 triaxial force balanced accelerometer., Vladimír Nehybka, Romana Hanžlová, Jan Otruba, Jan Švancara and Radim Vlach., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
In the paper, an attempt to interpret the PSInSAR data for the northern part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin with the use o f kernel approximation is described. The PSI nSAR technique is characterised by the Permanent Scatterer points (so-called PS points, Permanent Scatterers), which usually correspond to the objects such as : buildings, industrial and transport infrastructure, and natural components of surface relief (Ferretti et. al., 2000, 2001). The PSInSAR technique allows to monitor ground movements. A non-uniform di stribution of the PS points makes the inte rpretation of PSInSAR data difficult, as well as the fact that one point can assume both positive an d negative values. The application of the kernel approximation for the interpretation of the PSInSAR data allowed of more unambiguous interpretation., Katarzyna Mirek and Janusz Mirek., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Combination of numerical models of deformations and repeated geodetic measurement results provide reliable information on the state of the rock mass in a mining area and support planning and control of the mining operation. The paper describes the concept of integrated monitoring and analysis of rock mass deformation in the Kvannevann iron ore mine (Norway) using sub-level caving (SLC) method. Geodetic control network developed for periodic measurements of surface subsidence and a source of geometrical data for numerical modelling of deformations using finite element method (FEM) has been characterised. Focus is given to the results of initial numeric al analyses with FEM of rock mass deformations due to SLC mining. The results of the modelling provided information on possible extent of deformation zones on the mining ground surface once mining with new method commences., Jan Blachowski and Steinar Ellefmo., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
