Abstract: Based on the hydrogeological and engineering condition of rupture shaft and other background information of Linhuan mine area, hydrogeological model of this mine is estab1ished, the influence factors and forming process of deformation and destroy of the bottom aquifer soil and the weathered basement are analyzed. The four development stages of deformation and destroy of rock-soil mass and four models of shaft rupture are first put foreword. Some regularites of shaft rupture are obtained. Mechanism of shaft rupture s exposed. This study provides scientific data for controlling the shaft rupture and evaluating the stability of shaft.
