Abstract: The activities of the Laboratory of Geodynamics and Formation Pressure of the Institute of Mining of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences are aimed at organizing and conducting fundamental research, training of highly qualified personnel, as well as solving applied tasks that contribute to successful development of the mining industry in the Russian Federation and the CIS countries. The laboratory conducts research in the following areas: 1) methodology of studies and control of the stress-and-strain state parameters of the rock mass, as well as forecasting their changes over time and in the course of mining operations; 2) theoretical justification of ensuring the stability of mine workings and structural elements of mining methods. The mission of the laboratory is to conduct fundamental research based on the principles of consistent, comprehensive, interdisciplinary and innovative approach in the field of geomechanical support of subsoil development in order to improve industrial and environmental safety, energy efficiency and resource conservation in the mining industry of the Ural region and Russia as a whole. Fundamental researches at the laboratory of Geodynamics and Formation Pressure are focused on studying regularities in formation of initial and secondary stress fields, development of methods to control the stress condition of rock mass and prevention of geodynamic phenomena to enhance the efficiency of subsoil development.
Keywords: Rock mass, stress condition, stress formation patterns, strain, geodeformation monitoring, unloading with slots, photoelastic inclusion method, mathematical modeling
