Geophysical survey of asbestos pit wall

The article describes the use of geophysical methods to obtain the data on physical properties of rocks in pit wall rock mass toward technological optimization of drilling and blasting operations. The case-study of 2D and 3D electrical resistivity tomography, areal electrical geophysics and seismic exploration is presented. The data are obtained from field measurements of the natural electrical resistances in pit wall rock mass, induced polarizations equivalent to the frequency dispersion of rock conductivity as well as P-wave and S-wave velocities. Then, the obtained values are processed and interpreted using digital filtering and computer modeling. The strength of rock mass enclosing open pit chrysotile asbestos mine is calculated. The modern digital methods and algorithms commonly used worldwide are chosen for processing and interpretation of the obtained values. The physical properties of rocks are estimated from the comparison of a priori geological data with the values of the specific electrical resistance and elastic wave velocities. On this basis, The Young modulus values are calculated, which characterize the pit wall rock mass strength.

Keywords: geophysical survey, engineering geophysics, 3D electrical resistivity tomography, 2D electrical resistivity tomography, electrical geophysics, induced polarization, seismic exploration, seismic refraction method, seismic tomography, asbestos, open pit mine, drilling and blasting.
