The article presents results on the influence range of mining exploitation in a rock mass at the site of dog
headings located in an area of intensive mining exploitation. The research is based on geodetic measurements
of the subsidence of measurement line points located above the panel of a mined-out longwall. Studies were
applied to assess the range of mining influence in a rock mass, which is important for the protection of dog
headings against mining damage. If a range of mining influence comprises any protected workings, then the
deformations caused by mining operations may result in the loss of their functionality and even in dangerous
damage to them. The values of the parameters of the influence theory determined by geodetic measurements
of subsidence can be used to determine the permissible length of longwall panels, ensuring the maintenance of
the functionality of the protected dog headings and to optimize stress concentration zones in terms of the risk
of rock mass tremors.
