Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of stress monitoring methods, and in particular relates to a stress-strain monitoring method in a mining area based on abnormal gravity changes. Background Art Mining activities are often accompanied by the destruction of underground rock structures, the expansion of cracks, and the redistribution of mass, which in turn causes subtle changes in the regional gravity field. Current monitoring of geological hazards in mining areas relies primarily on surface displacement observations such as GNSS, InSAR, and leveling, but lacks effective, real-time methods for acquiring changes in the underground stress-strain field.
[0002] Existing methods for monitoring underground stress in mines often rely on embedding deep stress gauges or strain gauges within the rock mass and deploying sensors through drilling to obtain in-situ information on changes in stress or deformation. However, these methods have the following significant limitations: (1) low spatial coverage, resulting in a small number of data points and poor representativeness; (2) maintenance and re-measurement are extremely inconvenient, often making it difficult to achieve high-frequency, long-term continuous observations, which limits their application in stress evolution monitoring and disaster warning.

Then, calculate the underground disturbance density by the difference in gravity anomalies between different time points to obtain the stress tensor at different times. Step 5: Superimpose the obtained stress tensor change results on the mining map, geological structure map and historical deformation map of the mining area to form a comprehensive analysis map.
