Ground surface uplift during hardcoal longwall mining

? 2022 Elsevier LtdGround surface uplift was detected during longwall mining in the Lazy Mine, a hard coal mine in the Czech part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, Czech Republic. The greatest uplift was 218 mm, based on surface point levelling by comparing surface points with heights of non-mined areas. This uplift occurred during subcritical mining at an average depth of 740 m below the surface. The mined coal seam is situated below the previously mined part of the multi-seam deposit. This study aims to provide a geomechanical explanation for ground surface uplift observed during longwall mining. The source of surface uplifts were deep inside the rock mass, therefore, enabling only the examination of geological, geomechanical, seismic, and technical mining data for uplift occurrence analysis. Therefore, the spatiotemporal evaluation of the observed vertical displacement and induced seismicity data was processed, and the observed ground surface was compared with empirical subsidence. Two time periods with surface uplifts during longwall mining were evaluated. Thick, competent rock layers, together with specific geomechanical conditions, were identified as the main characteristics responsible for the uplift.
