These deformations pose a significant threat to building structures, which are extremely difficult to protect from such damage. The frequent occurrence of this type of deformation and the threat it poses to public safety make the issue of predicting them both current and significant. Deformations often occur as a result of intense mining extraction. The paper presents geological and mining conditions that favor the formation of these deformations. The influence of horizontal tensile strain on the occurrence of discontinuous linear deformations is highlighted. Based on the presented case study and the author’s previous work, a conclusion has been drawn about a strain limit under the given conditions at which ground steps may occur. The paper also highlights the potential for discontinuous surface deformation (sinkholes) due to the suffosion phenomenon in the zone where these linear deformations occur. The paper proposes a method for predicting the location of zones where ground steps may occur due to planned underground mining operations. Despite ongoing decarbonization efforts, intensive extraction of coking coal, which is listed as a critical raw material, will occur. However, such extraction should be conducted in a manner that prioritizes its sustainable impact on the surface. Taking the above into account, an example of conducting underground extraction is provided in a way that minimizes the threat of linear discontinuous deformations.}, title={Resource management in conditions of occurrence of linear discontinuous deformations}, type={Article}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/134568/163-179_Strza%C5%82kowski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/gsm.2025.153168}, keywords={mining extraction influences, mining deformations, steps in ground}, }
