A Study on the Characteristics of Blasting Vibration from Different Excavation Methods in Underground Mine

Recently, most of limestone quarries have been not mined by open-pit mining but by underground excavation to reduce environmental pollution. As a result, the size of underground galleries became bigger to maintain mass-production close to open-pit mining. However, the scale of pillars and galleries as well as the excavation methods may induce a few adverse problems for the stability of a mined gallery. In this study, the nomogram analysis and the prediction of rock damage zone induced by blasting were carried out. The testing conditions include concurrent blasting of two adjacent galleries, concurrent blasting of a transport drift and a inclined shaft, sequential blasting of two galleries, and separate blasting for each gallery. For each testing condition, blast vibration velocity was measured and analyzed. From the prediction formulas for blast vibration velocity derived in this study, the maximum depth of rock damage zone induced by blasting were also predicted.

지하채굴공동에서 굴착방법에 따른 발파진동의 특성에 관한 연구

최근 대부분의 석회석 광산은 환경문제 등으로 인하여 노천채광에서 지하채굴로 전환되었다. 그 결과 노천채광과 같은 생산성을 유지하기 위해 갱도가 대형화되고 있다. 이에 따라 갱도 및 광주의 규모 그리고 굴착방법 등에서 많은 문제가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 두 갱도의 동시 발파 혹은 단일갱도 내에서 좌운반갱도와 사갱을 동시 발파, 두 갱도를 다단 발파 그리고 각각의 갱도를 단독 발파하여 굴착했을 때의 발파진동을 계측하여 각각의 굴착방법에 따라 발파진동식을 산출하여 노모그램 분석과 암반손상권 분석을 실시하였다.
