To be able to apply such methods, it is necessary to have a detailed knowledge of the rock mass in terms of its geomechanical, engineering geological and hydrogeological characteristics. This research aims to reduce geological and geotechnical unknowns, analyze in detail the geological environment, and predict geotechnical conditions for the construction of the shaft. This paper uses the example of Borska Reka Copper Deposit, located in Serbia to illustrate the importance of geotechnical investigation to enable best practice in design and construction of shafts that are over 1000 m deep. </div>展开更多

The new approach based on fuzzy modeling for reception and processing of the geocryological information is offered. The technique and methodology of presentation of variables in a logic and linguistic way in a combination to elements of the experimental planning theory is developed. Comparison of the calculated data on model has shown its high adequacy of the experimental data of the various authors. The forecast of geoecological processes in cryolitozone on the basis of the described method will allow increasing reliability of the accepted design decisions.展开更多
