Khomenko O. Geo-energy fundamentals of mining ore deposits

The thesis deals with solving of the scientific problem of discovery, description and use of the phenomenon of zonal encapsulation of underground excavations in a geo-energy technology of mining ore deposits. The available classification of research methods for stress-strain state of the rocks has been upgraded on the basis of industrial, laboratory and theoretical studies of the phenomenon of zonal encapsulation underground excavations using improving the existing entropy method and development of the energy method. Using new techniques was made possible a systematic account for stress gradients, density, temperature and other factors of the energy of rocks with the formation of a ring-like energy zones, their number, size and shape, sinusoidal damped stresses and ring deformation areas. It allows to describe the mechanisms of preventive capsule formation around underground excavations.
