Abstract

The stability of underground openings is a major concern for the safety and productivity of mining operations. Rock mass classification methods provide the basis of many empirical design methods as well as a basis for numerical analysis. Of the many factors which influence the stability of openings, the span of the opening for a given rock mass condition provides an important parameter of design. In this paper, the critical span curves proposed by Lang, the Mathews stability graph method and the modified critical span curve suggested by the authors have been assessed. The modified critical span curve was proposed by using Mathews stability graph method. The modified critical span curve by the author have been used to assess the stability of underground openings in several limestone mines.

지하공동의 안정성은 생산성과 안전을 확보해야 하는 광산의 운영에 있어서 가장 중요한 관심사이다. 암반분류는 많은 경험적인 설계방법의 근간을 이룰 뿐만 아니라 수치해석을 위한 기초자료로 이용되고 있다. 공동의 안정성에 영향을 주는 많은 요소들 중 주어진 암반의 조건 중에서 공동폭은 하나의 중요한 설계요소가 된다. 이 논문에서는 Lug에 의해 제안된 한계 공동폭 기준, Mathews stability graph method 그리고 저자들에 의해 제안된 한계 공동폭 기준을 비교하였다. Methews stability graph method를 이용하여 저자들에 의해 수정된 한계 공동폭 기준을 제안하였고 이것을 여러 석회석 광산 지하공동의 안정성을 평가하는 데 사용하였다.
