Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back METHOD OF DETERMINING THE COMPLEXITY OF THE STRUCTURE OF ORE DEPOSITS AS AN ECOLOGICAL OBJECT Yu.P. Galchenko, V.M. Lizunkin, M.V. Lizunkin, E.D. Yakusheva The proposed new evaluation methodology for structural complexity of ore deposits is technical, and environmental objects, the justification of methodology criteria a comparative evaluation of the influence of factors on the conditions and consequences of the application of Geotechnology in the development of ore deposits. It is shown that the structure of the geological object developed in the process of development of the earth's subsoil is a system unity of the static component in the form of a stable geological structure and a dynamic component, in the form of characteristics of single ore bodies with high variability of elements of their internal structure. It is established that the impact of each of the geological characteristics of the Deposit at the level of complexity of its structure as a geological object is defined by the criterion that is the sum of intermediate indicators that reflect the value of geofactors and relative range of variation of this value within the Deposit, and the sum of these criteria for all geofactors gives the integral criterion for assessing the complexity of the structure of the field as object of development. The grounded new methodological approach and methods of definition of private and General criteria of an estimation of complexity of structure of the field opens prospects of systematization of fields not on separate geological characteristics (depth, falling angle, power, water cut, etc.), and on the sum of all characteristics integrated in an indicator of complexity of structure of the field.
