Prompt determination of predictive parameters for mining-technogenic landscape objects

Abstract

The presented research is aimed at developing tools for quickly determining the geometric parameters of mining-technogenic landscape objects to solve various geotechnical and engineering problems, such as reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations, as well as accumulated industrial waste utilization. The task of quickly determining the geometric parameters of the mining-technogenic landscape forms is proposed to be performed using the Blender software product for 3D-modeling and the Blender GIS Addon. The 3D models for mining-technogenic landscape objects have been constructed. In addition, the volumes of mined-out space at the granite quarry, the earth’s surface failure zone at the iron-ore mine and the mine waste rock dump have been determined. As a result, the values obtained were compared with actual data. It has been found that with the correct display of mining-technogenic landscape objects in the Google geospatial system, the proposed tools based on the Blender GIS Addon achieve high accuracy in determining parameters. The proposed method is predictive and cannot be independent, and it must be used in synthesis with surveying measurements of the parameters for mining-technogenic landscape objects and is a kind of a certain addition. However, it allows solving large-scale strategic problems in geoengineering.
