description Unregulated underground group mining in China has led to problems such as unclear locations and complex shapes of mine goafs in mineral engineering, posing serious safety hazards for subsequent mining operations. This paper takes mineral engineering with complex mine goafs as the research object, integrates multi-survey data from surface deformation remote sensing monitoring and 3D laser scanning measurement to survey the area where the surface deformation rate reaches 14cm/ year, accurately identifies the location of risky mine goafs, and constructs detailed representations of the real shapes of the complex mine goafs inside the mineral engineering. The FLAC<sup>3D</sup> 6.0 software is used to establish a 3D numerical simulation model of the mine goafs, fully considering the mining process, and conducting characteristic analysis of the stress distribution, failure range and surface deformation response of the mine goafs, revealing the impact of void deformation on the stability of the mine. The numerical simulation results are combined with on-site investigations to verify whether geological disasters have been caused by mine goafs. The research methods and results can provide effective technical means for the detailed survey and stability assessment of mineral engineering with complex mine goafs, which can help to reduce the risk of geological disasters in mines and improve the safety of mineral engineering.
