Abstract The management of explosion risk at explosives warehouses allows ensuring the necessary premises for the development, in objective and specific conditions, of the necessary documents for these types of technical infrastructures, right from their design phase and the quantification of the degree of impact on the sites analyzed as well as the areas that are located in their vicinity. In the case of the quantitative evaluation of the explosion risk generated following the detonation of explosive materials, the estimation of the manifestation of hazards identified through the associated risk factors should be carried out based on scientific calculation algorithms and established grapho-analytical models. The paper summarizes part of the results obtained regarding the development of a methodological approach and specific application tools that allow the assessment of the major accident risks generated by explosive materials, the identification, formalization and structuring of the applicable safety requirements to reduce or eliminate the risks in explosive material storage sites.

Abstract In the paper, special attention is paid to the sources that lead to soil and land degradation in Valea Jiului, as these are the components of the environment that are most affected by mining activities. Three sources of pollution are analyzed: dumps, mine yards and constructions, and mining and preparation activities chemically polluting of soil. Among the environmental changes, land degradation currently has the most important consequences for human settlements and economic activities, especially through induced subsidence processes and the presence of dumps with reduced stability. The authors of the article propose their own method for establishing a Global Land Degradation Index (GLDI) affected by mining activities in a mining perimeter (mine) taking into account the entire analyzed area (in our case Valea Jiului) and make a classification (in three classes) of this index.

Abstract A small increase in the relative humidity in the air in a coal deposit can cause a 1% increase in the moisture content of the deposit resulting in the probability of spontaneous ignition. By depositing the freshly extracted coal over the coal already in the deposit, there is a direct contact between the two surfaces that have different characteristics in terms of physical and chemical properties, so that the latter acts as a primer. The coal with a higher temperature gives up the excess temperature to the coal with a lower temperature, thus initiating the formation of self-heating nuclei followed by self-ignition ones. The phenomenon is easy to observe in the colder periods of the season and especially usually after rain, when the vapors resulting from the exchange of temperature between the two types of coal are released into the atmosphere. The common cause is the movement of water vapor through the deposit correlated with the adsorption on the coal granules. The heat of condensation of vapor at storage temperature is about 580 cal./gram of water. Condensing the amount of water required to increase the content from 3% of the weight of the coal to 4% leads to an increase in the temperature of the coal by more than 170C. This increase in temperature is sufficient to increase the oxidation rate by 5 times.

Abstract The Ocnele Mari rock salt deposit is exploited with small rooms and square pillars, on the horizons +226 m and 210 m. Following the exploitation of the lower horizon +210 m, the floor between the two horizons suffered instability phenomena, marked by fractures and cracks and local degradation of the pillars.Since the pillars at the two horizons have certain deviations from the coaxiality, the question was raised whether the instability phenomena were generated by the deviations from the coaxiality.This article presents the stability analysis of bearing structures, taking into account the actual geometry of pillars, 3D finite element analysis and analysis of safety factors at the ceiling level, calculated from 2D finite element models. The final conclusion is that the instability phenomena that occurred at the Ocnele Mari Saline were generated by the state of stresses and strains, produced by the spatial distribution of the underground voids and the geomechanical characteristics of the rock salt and insignificantly, by the deviation from the coaxiality of the pillars.
Ocnele Mari岩盐矿床在+226 m和210 m的层位上以小室和方柱开采。在下一层+210 m开采后，两层之间的底板出现了不稳定现象，主要表现为裂缝和裂缝以及矿柱的局部退化。由于两个地平线上的矿柱有一定的同轴度偏差，因此提出了不稳定现象是否由偏离同轴度引起的问题。本文介绍了考虑柱的实际几何形状、三维有限元分析和顶板安全系数分析的承载结构的稳定性分析，采用二维有限元模型计算。最后得出结论:Ocnele Mari Saline发生的失稳现象主要由地下空洞的空间分布和岩盐的地质力学特征引起的应力应变状态引起，与矿柱同轴度的偏离无关。

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the phenomenon of land tilting and the tilting distance as a secondary effect of surface coal mining in the Jiu Valley area, Romania. To evaluate the tilting phenomenon, through the two considered elements (inclination – Lt, tilting distance – Td) 16 control points (CP1 to CP16) were used whose coordinates were measured in the Stereographic 1970 projection system, the 1975 Black Sea elevation system at an initial moment (t0) and at the current moment (t1). The static method was used by GPS technology to measure the elevations of the control points. Through descriptive statistical analysis, a general characterization of the set of recorded values was obtained, and the ANOVA test confirmed the safety of the data and the presence of variance in the data set. From the analysis of the recorded values, a Spline type model was obtained that described the variation of Lt in relation to Td, under conditions of statistical safety ( ɛ¯ = 0.137302). Regression analysis facilitated the obtaining of equation-type models, which described the variation of Lt and Td in relation to the X, Y and Z coordinates of the control points (t0, t1), under conditions of statistical certainty (R2 = 0.697, p=0.014 for Td variation according to Z0 and Z1; R2 = 0.722, p=0.0094 for Td in relation to X0 and Z0). According to PCA, PC1 explained 61.303% of variance, and PC2 explained 38.697% of variance. The cluster analysis facilitated the obtaining of a dendrogram based on Euclidean distances, regarding the grouping based on the similarity of the control points in relation to the studied phenomenon, under conditions of statistical safety (Coph. corr.=0.957).

Abstract A recently completed research focused on the development of a low-volume mining production and transportation prototype machine. By developing this new mining adapter, the number of machines used in the mine can be reduced. Its application in dimensional stone mining can reduce the expenses of mining companies. After the block stone has been cut around, the stone material can be moved with the machine. The cutting forces and power requirements are calculated for the chain speeds used in production. This paper shows the static stress analysis of two kinds of possible structures of the dimension stone mining adapter. Finite element analysis was used to determine the displacements and the effective stress distribution of the adapter.

Abstract In order to comply with the provisions of the normative acts in the field of air quality (STAS 12574/1987 - maximum allowed concentrations of sedimentable powders [1]), it was proposed to build a water mist dedusting facility within the coal deposit to stop the dust emissions at the source. The installation must ensure long-term operation in harsh conditions, with resistance to wear and minimal maintenance: operating time 12-14 hours/day, 365 days/year. The dedusting plant is composed of the water house, the distribution network, the fog production plants and the electricity supply plant. The process used to create the mist is based on the use of high pressure pumps. The equipment consists of fog guns equipped with high-pressure water spray nozzles and dispersion fans that are purchased fully equipped including a remote control installation; 6 spray guns were provided.

Abstract After the cessation of mining activities, concerns for mining cadastre research are only sporadic. The present study aims at bringing up to date the evolution of the mining cadastre in the Romanian provinces with a mining book regime, territories that were until 1918 within the structure of the former Habsburg Empire. (Austro-Hungary since 1867). Several stages can be distinguished in the evolution of the mining cadastre in the areas shown. From the 16th century until 1854 the principles and methods of the mining cadastre were set up. Between 1854 and 1924 the provisions of the Austrian General Mining Law of 1854 were followed. From 1924 to 1948, the mining cadastre provisions provided for in the mining law of 1924 and other specific regulations are applicable. After 1948, under the conditions of a statist regime, the mining record did not respect the principles of the mining cadastre previously assessed. After 1990, the new mining cadastre only partially takes over the classical principles and methods of the mining cadastre. The way of applying the mining cadastre was focused upon in the town of Borșa, a mountainous place where farmers had not formed cooperatives and where intensive mining was carried out until 2007. With the cessation of mining in Baia Borșa, the mining cadastre was reduced to inventories of some mining assets and sporadic cadastre registrations of some premises and settling ponds. The study analyzes the current situation and proposes some integrated solutions, mediated by GIS technology, aiming the introduction of the mining cadastre in correlation with the introduction of the general cadastre. In this context, GIS technology offers modeling tools that, for example, can assess the degree of suitability of the land for construction.

Abstract Globally, coal was and remains one of the main primary energy resources, being the cheapest option for power generation. Coal deposits are available in large quantities, its exploitation being done with more stable prices and less sensitive to a series of international events, but it has the disadvantage of significant additional costs, due to the technologies required to reduce emissions in the environment. Romania, one of the most important coal-producing countries in Europe, has a long tradition in the mining industry and has important coal reserves, which can ensure the continuity of production for more than 150 years. Unfortunately, after 1989, coal production in our country almost halved, mainly due to the decrease in mining activity and the reduction of coal consumption (both by industry, such as steel and households - for the heat consumed from power plants based on of coal). At the moment, Romania mainly imports coal, but the share of imported coal also decreased to a quarter compared to 1990.
