Abstract
DevelopMent of An effectIve MethoD for ZonInG the eArth's surfAce In heteroGeneIty of the rocK MAss purpose.Development of a method for zoning the field surface according to the degree of problem by the criterion based on changes in the geoenergy of the rock mass, determined by the difference between the sum of potential gravitational energies and elastic deformations of the rock mass in the initial and current states.Methodology.The research was performed using methods of causeeffect analysis, physical modeling and geomechanics. findings.The method for zoning the field surface according to the degree of problem is developed on the basis of energy pa rameters determining the state of a heterogeneous rock mass and characterizing the general laws of manifestation and development of geomechanical processes.The method allows us to identify potentially dangerous areas on the earth's surface that are at the stage of involvement in the process of displacement, and therefore cannot be identified by ground observations and remote sensing methods.Based on the method, recommendations for optimizing geodetic monitoring have been developed. originality.A method has been developed that increases the reliability of the zoning of the earth's surface of the field according to the degree of problematicity, based on a criterion involving parameters that determine the geoenergy of the rock mass in the current and initial states. practical value.The method improves the quality of situational control, predicts the occurrence of risk situations and their development, and optimizes geodetic monitoring.
