7 Longwall Caving in Potash Mining Panels are extracted completely using mechanised mining at advancing longwall face, allowing roof to collapse behind face Only (barrier) pillars between panels and around access drifts remain High extraction ratio (above 70% 80%), comparatively simple mine layout Requires reasonably uniform seam geometry Large surface subsidence: Excavation collapse completely Longwall caving is common in coal mining, but rare in salt and potash compared to room-and-pillar: historically in Alsace (France) and Navarra (Spain) presently around Soligorsk (six mines in Belarus) C.

9 Rock Bursts in Room-and-Pillar Mines Rock bursts mostly in carnallite: brittle failure After failure of one pillar (caused by blasting or creep rupture), chain reaction of pillar collapses destroys complete field Large seismic energy release Overburden weight subsidence Local magnitudes up to M L = 5.6 Geomechanical basis: Softening of the rock weakens slender pillars For squat pillars, mechanism involves loss of adhesive resistance on bedding planes between pillar and hanging/footwall sudden loss of confining pressure and load-bearing capacity [Minkley, Lüdeling 2015] C.

33 Summary and Conclusions Longwall caving in potash poses two major geomechanical challenges: High, almost uniaxial stresses at the longwall face Possibly fine for ductile rocks such as sylvinite Rather problematic for brittle rocks, in particular carnallitite: Translatory rock bursts at the longwall face seam jumps into the panel (local magnitudes M L 1 2) Shield supports don t really help More severe in greater depth C.
