Abstract

The slopes of open-pit mine are typically designed without considering the reinforcement and support method due to the economical efficiency. However, the long-term stability of final pit slope is needed in some case, therefore the appropriate measures that can improve the stability are required. In this study, the field survey and laboratory test were carried out in S limestone mine. The stability assessment of final pit slope was performed through the stereographic projection method, SMR, and numerical analysis. And countermeasures for stabilization were proposed. The results of analysis show that full scale of slope failure is not expected but the failures of bench slope scale are likely to occur. In oder to increase the stability of bench slope, we suggested the remedial methods as follows: excavating the final pit slope by pre-splitting blasting, placing the wide berm in the intermediate bench slope and installing the horizontal drainage hole in the place of local ground water runoff.

노천광산사면은 일반적으로 경제성 문제로 지보대책을 고려하지 않고 설계된다. 그러나 최종 잔벽사면은 장기적인 안정성이 필요하므로 경우에 따라서는 안정성을 높일 수 있는 적절한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구를 위해 S 석회석 광산의 지질 및 불연속면 조사, 암반평가, 강도시험 등 현장조사를 수행하였다. 그리고 최종 잔벽사면에 대해 평사투영, SMR, 수치해석을 통한 안정성 평가를 실시하고, 최종 잔벽사면의 처리방안을 제안하였다. 해석결과, 사면 전체규모에서 파괴는 예상되지 않지만, 벤치규모의 사면파괴는 발생할 가능성이 있다. 최종 잔벽사면은 프리스플리팅 발파로 정리하고, 중간 소단에 폭이 넓은 berm을 설치하거나 국부적으로 지하수 유출이 있는 곳에는 수평배수공 등을 시공하여 벤치사면의 안정성을 높일 수 있을 것이다.
