Abstract

Recently, the mining methods are changing from surface mining to underground mining because of the increment of the environmental issues and legal regulations. Therefore, the stability of underground openings is a major concern for the safety and productivity of mining operations. In this paper, a survey of structural geology and discontinuities were carried out at a limestone mine. The relevant mechanical properties of rocks were determined by the laboratory tests and rock mass classifications (RMR and Q-system) for the mine design and input data for the stability analysis. The dimensions of unsupported span for underground openings and pillar were decided based on the RMR values of rock mass classifications. The stability analysis for the suggested mine design was examined through the empirical methods (stability graph method and critical span curve) and 3-D numerical analysis (Visual-FEA).

최근 환경문제 및 법적규제의 강화로 광산의 개발이 노천채광에서 갱내채광으로 전환됨에 따라 지하채굴 공동의 안정성이 광산의 운영 및 생산성 부분에서 최대 관심사로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 갱내채광 설계와 안정성 평가의 입력 자료로 활용하기 위해 지질조사, 불연속면 조사, 실내 암석실험, 암반분류를 수행하였으며, 암반분류 결과를 이용하여 무지보로 안정을 유지할 수 있는 채굴 공동과 광주의 규격을 결정하였다. 또한, 경험적 방법(stability graph, 한계 공동폭 곡선)과 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 지하채굴 공동의 안정성을 평가하였다.
