Existing methods of preventing such phenomena do not always provide sufficient reliability, especially in conditions of changing mining and geological factors, which requires the development of new approaches based on a deep understanding of geomechanical processes. The aim of the project is to develop a set of anti-blowout measures during mining based on the identified patterns of rock pressure and stress-strain state of the carboniferous massif using mathematical modeling methods. The main idea of the project is to create a geotechnological method for preventing sudden emissions by purposefully controlling the stress-strain state of the rock mass. This involves the impact on the most stressed areas ahead of the face and in the contiguous areas of the workings, which will reduce the likelihood of emergencies. As part of the project, an analytical and mathematical model of the geomechanical processes occurring in the host carboniferous massif will be developed. Based on the simulation, the optimal parameters for carrying out workings will be determined, taking into account specific mining, geological and engineering conditions. This will make it possible to justify effective technological solutions for managing mountain pressure and reducing the risk of emissions. The practical implementation of the project includes conducting laboratory, bench and pilot tests of the developed technologies, monitoring the condition of the array around the workings, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. Based on the research results, recommendations will be prepared for implementation in the mining industry and a feasibility study of the technology will be developed. The scientific novelty of the project is to develop new approaches to managing the geomechanical condition of the massif based on analytical modeling, as well as to create an integrated system for preventing explosive phenomena, taking into account the influence of various factors. The expected results of the project include the publication of scientific articles in highly-rated international journals, the publication of monographs, obtaining patents and copyright certificates, as well as the introduction of the developed technology in production. Additionally, the results of the study will be used in the educational process in the training of specialists in the field of Mining. The implementation of the project will significantly increase the level of industrial safety, reduce mining accidents and ensure the sustainable development of the coal industry through the introduction of innovative geotechnological solutions.
