Abstract
Summary
The paper presents the results of applying geophysical methods to identify weakened zones in the dumps of potash industry. The complex of geophysical methods includes a reflection method by the procedure of common depth point with registration of p-waves, 2D and 3D electric tomography method. The performed work proves reasonability of seismic and electric tomography methods and shows their effectiveness for detection of caverns and other inhomogeneities in salt tailings pile massif. The experimental works have been carried out in one of Uralkali PJSC mines..
