On some methods of researching the structural, physical and mechanical parameters of granular media as applied to the modeling of rock dumps

The physical properties of the artificial disjointed rock massifs (the filling and arrays collapsed rocks dumps) formed during mining operations, are largely determined by geometry structure pore space mineral phase, i.e. particle size, shape packing method. In this case, conditions for arrangement particles relative to each other distances between centers particles, orientation, number contacts, angles segments connecting centers, etc.) have a decisive influence on macroscopic characteristics mass (specific surface, bulk density, load capacity, behavior such media under applied stresses. Thus, in order manage state technogenic bedrock, question applying modern methods modeling determining these parameters is considered. article provides an overview granular determine their structural, mechanical parameters.
