Abstract
Mining remains one of the key sectors of the Ukrainian economy. However, the impact of mining activities on the environment and natural and engineering objects located in mining areas is a major problem that requires the introduction of modern methods and technologies. The paper analyzes the existing regulatory documents and research of scientists on the displacements and deformations of the earth’s surface and objects located on it. It has been determined that displacements and deformations are random and may differ from typical curves obtained by regulatory methods. It has been established that mathematical modeling, in particular the finite element method, is a proven and relevant tool that allows calculating the displacements and deformations of a rock mass and the earth’s surface under given mining and geological conditions. The author sets up a computer model using the Ansys 24 program to monitoring the deformations of a strategic energy facility, namely a main gas pipeline located in the zone of influence of mining operations. The initial data of the undermining conditions for modeling, dimensions and boundary conditions of the model were selected.
