Over time, municipal waste landfills tend to go higher and become larger. The stability of the municipal landfill slope is one of the basic geotechnical tasks. This task ensures continuous waste deposition on the landfill surface and safety in its surroundings. With the increasing height and volume of the landfill, it is difficult to estimate the available area of the municipal landfill, where more waste can be safely deposited due to a number of variable factors, such as the geotechnical conditions of the municipal landfill, the morphological composition, age, and degree of compaction and decomposition of the deposited waste. This paper presents an attempt to determine the available area of a landfill where municipal waste can be safely deposited for further operation. For this purpose, a numerical slope stability analysis was carried out using the finite difference method code FLAC3D, presenting the actual geomechanical conditions of a landfill located in southern Poland. Based on the numerical results, options for municipal waste storage were presented and discussed. The proposed design chart aims to help landfill owners/managers make an adequate decision in terms of landfill planning and design.

The mining in seams with a high methane content by means of a longwall system, under conditions of high extraction concentration, results in exceeding methane concentrations allowed by the regulations at workings of the longwall environment, with the effect of mining machines’ standstill periods. The paper is a part of a study supporting the development of a system for shearing cutting speed control at the longwall, which should substantially reduce the production standstills due to exceeded limits and switching off the supply of electric equipment. Such a control system may be appropriate for longwalls ventilated using “Y” and “short Y” methods. Efficient Computer simulations of the 3D airflow and methane propagation may assist the design and initial evaluation of the control system performance. First chapters present studies that are necessary for a proper formulation of the properties of the longwall model. Synthetic analysis of production during the period of longwall operation allowed one to choose the input assumptions to carry out ventilation-methane computations in a CFD numerical model of longwall Z-11. This study is followed by a description of the model that is used for a case study, considering three variants of the shearer position. Finally, initial simulation results and directions of further studies are discussed.

The use of computer techniques at the design stage of industrial facilities is essential in modern times. The ability to shorten the time required to develop a project and assess the safety of the use of assumptions, often enables the reduction of the costs incurred in the future. The possibility to skip expensive prototype tests by using 3D prototyping is why it is currently the prevailing model in the design of industrial facilities, including in the mining industry. In the case of a longwall working, its stability requires the maintenance of the geometric continuity of floor rocks in cooperation with a powered roof support.The paper investigates the problem of longwall working stability under the influence of roof properties, coal properties, shield loading and the roof-floor interaction. The longwall working stability is represented by an index, factor of safety (FOS), and is correlated with a previously proposed roof capacity index ‘g‘. The topic of the paper does address an issue of potential interest. The assessment of the stability of the roof in longwalls was based on the numerical analysis of the factor of safety (FOS), using the Mohr-Coulomb stress criterion. The Mohr-Coulomb stress criterion enables the prediction of the occurrence of failures when the connection of the maximum tensile principal stress σ1 and the minimum compressive principal stress σ3 exceed relevant stress limits. The criterion is used for materials which indicates distinct tensile and compressive characteristics. The numerical method presented in the paper can be utilized in evaluating the mining natural hazards through predicting the parameters, which determine the roof maintenance in the longwall working.One of the purposes of the numerical analysis was to draw attention to the possibilities that are currently created by specialized software as an important element accompanying the modern design process, which forms part of intelligent underground mining 4.0.

W artykule zwrócono szczególną uwagę na zagadnienie związane z trudnością w utrzymaniu stateczności wyrobiska ścianowego w przypadku niekorzystnego zjawiska zawisania stropu wyrobiska ścianowego w warunkach prowadzonej eksploatacji systemem ścianowym na zawał. W tym celu przeprowadzono badania analityczne i numeryczne z zamiarem określenia parametrów, które determinują proces zawisania warstwy stropu wyrobiska ścianowego. Metodą analityczną badano wpływ parametrów fizyko- -mechanicznych oraz geometrycznych górotworu na proces zawisania stropu wyrobiska ścianowego nad zrobami interpretowany wartością jego ugięcia. Przedstawiono schemat obliczeniowy oraz warunki wytrzymałościowe procesu wydłużania belki (wspornika) w stropie wyrobiska. Natomiast za pośrednictwem obliczeń numerycznych badano wpływ wybranych parametrów modelu Coulomba-Mohra na wartości długości wspornika oraz obniżenia stropu dla określonych parametrów geometrycznych i mechanicznych obudowy zmechanizowanej. Otrzymane wyniki badań modelowych pozwoliły na określenie zależności opisujących wpływ wybranych parametrów mechanicznych skał i geometrycznych warstwy stropu wyrobiska ścianowego na proces jego powstawania i zawisania.

The article focuses on the problem in maintaining the stability of a longwall working caused by the unfavourable phenomenon of the hanging roof in a longwall working. Model tests were carried out, intended to define the parameters that determine the process of roof hanging, based on the analytical and numerical methods. The analytical method was applied to study the influence of physic-mechanical and geometrical parameters of the rockmass on the process of roof hanging in the longwall working, interpreted the value of its deflection. The calculation scheme as well as the strength and stress conditions of the roof beam lengthening process in the longwall working are presented. Whereas, in the numerical calculations the influence of parameters of the Coulomb-Mohr’s model on the length and the deflection of the roof strata for given geometrical and mechanical parameters of the powered roof support, were investigated. The obtained results allowed to determine parameters describing influence of the selected mechanical and geometric parameters of the roof of the longwall working on the process of its hanging.
