Abstract. In favourable mining conditions, in particular at the Starobinskoye potash deposit (Belarus), longwall mining systems are used. They cause a high human-induced load on the subsoil, including intense deformation of the ground surface. The presented investigations are aimed at studying the dynamics of the ground surface displacement during the longwall face advance. Mathematical modelling was carried out in an elastic-plastic formulation with numerical implementation by the finite element method. The condition for the roof rocks collapse was opening of the contact between the seams when its boundaries were reached by shear fractures or formation of the tensile stresses area at the outcrop. With the working front advance, an increase in subsidence is observed, followed by its stabilization to a value determined by the process parameters of mining operations and the physical and mechanical properties of collapsed rocks. In this case, each point of the ground surface experiences sign-alternating horizontal deformations: when the front approaches, it causes tension, and when it moves away, compression. The obtained results of mathematical modelling are in good agreement with the data of instrumental measurements of the ground surface displacements, which indicates the adequate description of the rock mass deformation during the slice excavation of sylvinite seams by longwall faces.

Introduction. Potash and salt mineral deposits are developed by a room-and-pillar method. This is due to the need to ensure the safety of the water-protective layer and prevent the breakthrough of fresh water into mine workings [1-4]. Only in favourable mining conditions, in particular at the Starobinskoye potash deposit (Republic of Belarus), various options for pillar methods are used [5-7], which are typical for coal basins. In this regard, targeted studies of displacement during long-pillar mining are associated with coal deposits [8-10], and the engineering methods developed for them to predict the ground surface subsidence are based on long-term instrumental observations. The results of these studies formed the basis of the regulatory framework1 for the protection of the ground surface targets from the harmful effects of underground coal mining. At the same time, modern experience in the development of coal deposits and the transition to

deeper horizons shows that the normative engineering methods for predicting subsidence differ significantly from the results of actual observations [11-13]. To level these discrepancies, empirical correction factors [11, 14, 15], transition to statistical estimates [16, 17], and mathematical modelling methods are used [11, 18, 19], which make it possible to consider structural features of the undermined massif and physical and mechanical properties of the rocks that make it up [20-22] in the ground surface deformation estimates.
The prediction of ground surface displacements during sylvinite seams mining by longwall faces is based on empirical approaches and ratios typical for coal deposits. By analogy, the maximum subsidence of the ground surface is determined by the following formula2 [23]:
n = 0.9mrnNxNv
•max x y
(1)
where Nx, Ny are indices depending on the ratio of the gob dimensions and the mining depth; m is the recoverable seam thickness; ra - ore recovery factor.
Field studies of displacement at the Starobinskoye deposit, related to the study of the undermined massif stratification and the formation of a zone of water-conducting fractures, are given in [24, 25]. Attempts were also made to mathematically model the displacement process [26], based on the use of analytical approaches, which did not allow adequately describing the dynamics of the ground surface deformations.
The purpose of the presented investigations was to study the dynamics of the ground surface displacement when advancing the longwall face. Numerical simulation was carried out in the elastic-plastic formulation by the finite element method.
Methodology. The change in the stress-strain state (SSS) of the rock mass was assessed in relation to the bulk mining of three seams in the Third potassium horizon. The corresponding estimation scheme, built towards the longwall advance, is shown in Fig. 1. It was assumed that the estimated area experiences the action of body forces with intensity yt (where yt is the specific gravity of the rocks
of the 7th element in the geological section); horizontal displacements are limited on the lateral boundaries, and vertical displacements are limited on the lower one. The upper boundary (ground surface) is free. The geomechanical model reflected the main structural features of the undermined massif. Mechanical properties of the rocks that make up the geological section were taken in accordance with the laboratory test results [27, 28].
Determination of the stress-strain state of rocks was based on the model of an ideal elastic-plastic medium, which, in the area of compressive stresses, was implemented in the variant of the parabolic Coulomb - Mohr criterion [29]:

In physical terms, plastic deformation zones in the areas of compression and tension are associated with fracturing due to the development of shear and rupture fractures.
The problem was solved numerically according to the standard procedure of the finite element method [30], within which the plastic nature of rock deformation was considered by the secant matrix method [31]. The interaction of the seams lying in the roof and the foot of the gob was modelled by Goodman contact elements [32-34] in the modification of the full deformation diagram [35]. The mechanical properties of the contacts were taken according to the results of laboratory tests of contacts in the "shear with compression" mode [36].
The criterion for the roof rocks collapse was opening of the contact between the seams when shear fractures reached its boundaries or formation of a zone of tensile stresses at the outcrop [37]. In numerical calculations, it was implemented within the framework of an iterative procedure by localizing and then excluding from the estimate of the elements in which the collapse criterion is satisfied. The estimation scheme of mathematical modelling in the form of a geomaterial included destroyed rocks filling the gob, the deformation properties of which were taken an order of magnitude lower than the corresponding indicators of the rock mass [38].
Discussion of the results. Destruction of rocks during the longwall advance. The results of mathematical modelling show that when the longwall face advances, the area of plastic deformations associated with the formation of rupture fractures is localized in the sole. The collapse of the roof rocks begins to occur when the longwall advances to a distance of about 5 m (Fig.2, a).
As the working front advances further (Fig.2, b-d), an expansion of the fracturing area in the sole and an increase in the volume of collapsed roof rocks are observed. With a gob length of more than 25 m (Fig.2, c, d), the fracturing area in the sole stabilizes and only its lateral increase is further recorded. The accepted decompaction index determines the complete filling of the gob with destroyed rocks, which prevents further development of fracture zones in the roof. Thus, rocks up to the clay-carnallite member, inclusive, are subject to collapse. With a significantly greater length of the gob, fracturing and possible collapse of the roof can also affect the overlying seams. At the same time, a non-homogeneous technogenic geo-environment is formed in the gob.
Periodicity is observed in the nature of the rock mass destruction in the vicinity of the gob. First, an increase in fracture zones in the sole and an increase in the volume of collapsed rocks in the roof are recorded. Then the gob is filled with geomaterial, which prevents further increase in fracture zones in the vertical direction. After that, the process repeats.
As the performed estimates show, the properties of destroyed rocks have a determining influence on the deformation of the undermined massif. Depending on the deformation properties adopted in the estimate, the magnitude of the ground surface subsidence changes significantly (Fig.3). An increase in these indicators sharply reduces the maximum ground surface subsidence at the stage of longwall advance, which affects the change in the gradient of vertical displacements at the measurement point (reference point, Fig.3).

In Fig.3-6, the X-axis determines the distance between the point of mine surveying observations of the ground surface displacement (reference point) and the projection of the longwall working face onto it. Negative values of the distance correspond to the longwall advance to the point of mine surveying observations 0, positive values correspond to the removal from it. The variation in the deformation properties of collapsed rocks makes it possible to calibrate the geomechanical model according to the data of mine surveying measurements, but it is not possible to achieve an acceptable agreement in the area where significant gradients are formed. It can be assumed that the decrease in the deformation properties of destroyed rocks occurs gradually, as the working front advances. With this in mind, relatively high gradients of the ground surface subsidence are provided in the active stage of displacement (Fig.3, curve 5).
Dynamics of shear development. The ground surface subsidence within the dynamic part of the shear trough is significantly affected by the advance rate of the working face: the higher the rate, the greater the subsidence. The fact of the proportional dependence of the rate of the observation point subsidence on the rate of advancement of mining operations for coal deposits was noted by H.Kratzsch [8]. For the conditions at the Starobinskoye potash deposit, according to the results of processing mine surveying observations, this dependence is described in the form of a linear expression
V0 = XVface + B, (2)
where Vface is the rate of working face advance, m/day; X, V - indices depending on the mining and engineering conditions of mining.
The main difficulty in using expression (2) is to determine the indices X, B in the absence of mine survey data. However, a general analysis of the ratio shows that at a significant distance of the working face from the observation point, the ground surface subsidence will decrease with increasing longwall advance rate. This is also confirmed by the results of mathematical modelling (Fig.4). When the face is 700 m away from the observation point and the longwall rate increases from 1 to 10 m/day, the subsidence will decrease from 1.51 to 0.85 m, or by 45 %. Thus, the higher the face advance rate, the smaller part of the final ground surface subsidence is in the dynamic part of the shear trough. A sharp decrease in subsidence occurs in the range of 1-4 m/day, and a further increase in the working face advance rate does not lead to such a significant decrease in subsidence.
Mathematical modelling of the massif deformation was carried out on the example of mining longwall N 102 in mine 1 RU of OAO Belaruskali. The advance rate of the working face was assumed to be constant, 2 m/day. During geomechanical modelling, the gob gradually increased evenly, simulating the working face advance, and the deformation properties of collapsed roof rocks decreased in a linear relationship. The maximum "weakening" of the deformation properties of collapsed rocks was supposed to ensure the shear transition to a damping stage and the achievement of the ground surface subsidence corresponding to the chosen face rate.
Figure 5 shows the development dynamics of the ground surface subsidence during the working front advance, built on the basis of the mathematical modelling. As the gob increases at a constant rate, at first, an increase in subsidence is observed, followed by its stabilization to a value determined by the process parameters of mining operations (mining rate, mineable thickness, etc.) and the physical and mechanical properties of the collapsed rocks. Then there is only an expansion of the lateral shear trough following the working front advance. After longwall mining, the ground surface subsidence will increase to the final values determined by expression (1) in a damping mode.
Figure 6 shows the curves of the increase in vertical shears of the ground surface at the observation point during working excavation (curve 1); also, for comparison, subsidence is shown, constructed according to the empirical formula (2) at a rate of working face advance of 2 m/day (curve 2), and actual subsidence (curve 3). It can be seen that there is a good correspondence between the ground

surface subsidence both in magnitude and in the rate of its increase. Some difference between the actual subsidence (curve 3) and the estimated one after the completion of the active stage of shear is apparently due to the fact that the real longwall rate was variable and varied in the range of 0.9-5.2 m/day.
Usually [39, 40] during the longwall face advance, horizontal displacements are recorded on the ground surface along with its subsidence. At first there is a direct movement towards the advancing face, and then the observation point returns back (Fig.7). If the observation point is on the longitudinal axis of the extraction column, and there are no other influencing factors (heterogeneous structure of the
undermined massif, the presence of neighbouring gob areas, undermining, overmining, etc.), then the forward and reverse trajectories of the observation point will coincide in direction, but the reverse, as a rule, turns out to be longer. In other words, the observation point does not return to its original position. This trend is reflected in the mathematical modelling results. Some deviation of the actual measurements from the estimated ones (Fig.7) can be explained by the influence of a group of mining, geological, and engineering factors that are not considered in the estimate.
It is of interest to change the horizontal deformations of the ground surface at the observation point, which determine the level of negative impact of mining operations on industrial and civil facilities (Fig.7, positive values are tensile deformations, negative values are compressive deformations). As can be seen, during the working front advance, the observation point experiences sign-alternating deformations: when advancing, there is tension, and when removing, compression. Zero horizontal deformations are recorded approximately 100 m behind the longwall face.
Conclusion. The constructed geomechanical model of the rock mass fully reflects the main structural features of the massif, the longwall face advance, and the process parameters of mining operations. The model includes the roof rocks collapse in the mined seam. Its implementation makes it possible to study the change in the stress-strain state of the undermined rock mass and identify the main patterns of the ongoing geomechanical processes, including the nature of the ground surface deformations development.
It is shown that it is possible in principle to achieve a correspondence between the estimated subsidence and field observations of the ground surface displacement by varying the properties of collapsed rocks formed during the longwall face advance. In this case, it becomes possible to predict the ground surface displacement during the slice mining of sylvinite seams by longwall faces.
