국내 대부분을 차지하고 있는 NATM의 주요원리는 주변지반의 지보효과를 활용하는 터널굴착공법이다. 따라서 실제 지반조건이 원설계조건 보다 역학적으로 불량한 경우 보강공법의 적용은 필수적이라 할 수 있으나, 합리적인 설계변경은 현실적으로 쉽지 않은 실정이다. 또한 현실적인 이유로 양방향으로 터널을 관통하는 설계법과 달리 종종 1방향 굴진으로 터널을 관통하는 경우가 있다. 그러나 이러한 1방향 굴진은 불가분 굴진 종점부에서 저토피 갱구를 향하게 되므로, 지반이 연약한 경ㅇ우 막장 붕괴의 위험이 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 터널은 설계 시 갱구부 지반을 풍화암과 연암으로 보고 설계 하였으나, 실제 굴착 시 확인된 지층은 핵석을 포함한 실트질모래(SP-SM)로 판명되었다. 더구나 터널굴진 방향에 있어서도 양방향 굴착이 아닌 저토피 갱구를 향한 1방향 굴진을 실시하였으며, 이러한 시공 중에 터널관통을 불과 19m 남겨둔 갱구부에서 막장부괴와 동시에 상부사면 함몰이 발생하였다. 본 연구는 토사터널 갱구부 1방향 굴진 시 발생한 막장붕괴 보강사례로서, 지상보강(시멘트밀크 그라우팅)과 갱내보강(방사상 FRP보강그라우팅) 그리고 인버트폐합을 실시하여 성공적으로 터널시공을 완료한 사례연구이다. 본 사례는 향후 토사터널 갱구부의 설계와 시공에 유용한 참고자료가 될 것이다.

Controlling the blast-induced damage zone(BDZ) in mining excavation is a significant issue for the safety of employees and the maintenance of facilities. Numerous studies have been conducted to accurately predict the BDZ in underground mining. This study employed the dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) to estimate the BDZ from a single hole blasting. The estimated BDZ were compared with the results obtained by Swedish empirical equation. The DFPA was also used to investigate the control mechanism of BDZ and fracture plane formation around perimeter holes for underground mining blasting.

Physicochemical characteristics of stream water, leachate, mine water and groundwater were investigated to estimate the influences of the tailing and waste rock from the abandoned Uljin mine area. Total extraction analysis and mineralogical studies were carried out to understand sulfide weathering and to determine the distributions of trace elements in the soil affected by mine waste (tailing, waste rock and leachate). The pH and EC value of the leachate from the tailing disposal ranged 2.9-6.0, $99{\sim}3,990{\mu}S/cm$, respectively, and the concentrations of dissolved major (up to 492 mg/l Ca; 83.8 mg/l Mg; 45.2 mg/l Na; 44.7 mg/l K, 50.8 mg/l Si) and trace elements (up to $826,060{\mu}g/l$ Fe; $131,230{\mu}g/l$ Mn; $333,600{\mu}g/l$ Al; $61,340{\mu}g/l$ Zn; $2,530{\mu}g/l$ Cu; $573{\mu}g/l$ Cd; $476{\mu}g/l$ Pb) were relatively high. The stream water showed the variation of dissolved metal concentrations in seasonally and spatially. The dissolved metal contents of the stream water increased by influx the leachate from the tailing disposal, but these of the down stream have been considerably decreased by mixing of dilute tributaries. The dissolved metal concentrations of the stream water at dry season (as February) were lower than these at rainy season (as May and July). These represent that the amounts of the leachate varied with season. However, stream water could not be effectively diluted by confluence with uncontaminated tributaries, because the flux of tributaries and streams reduced at dry season. Thus attenuations by dilution had been dominantly happened in rainy seasons. The order of accumulations of trace element in soils compared with background values revealed Mn>Fe>Pb>Cu>Zn. Sulfide minerals were mainly pyrrhotite, sphalerite and galena and chalcopyrite. Pyrrhotite was rapidly weathered along the edge and fractures, and results in the formation of Fe-(oxy)hydroxides, which absorbed a little amount of Zn.

When an underground limestone mine selects room-and-pillar mining method, in which the stability of mine openings is maintained by leaving safety pillars, the stability of safety pillars is always incompatible with their productivity. Therefore, the engineering decision for stability and productivity is essential. In this study, a progress of excavation faces by conventional blasting pattern has been examined in field for investigating over-break and stereo-photogrammetry method has been applied to this field measurement for improvement of accuracy. Also this result has been reflected instantly to composite blasting pattern by feedback, for minimizing overbreak. Field tests showed the relevant results that $3.5m^2$ in over-break out of $70m^2$ in total excavation face has been decreased, that is 5% of reduction rate in maximum.

It is considered in this paper that the main causes of tunnel collapse during the construction were the insufficiency of data of geotechnical investigations, or their limits due to special ground condition such as its heterogeneity and anisotropy It is thought that safety of ground can be affected by the geological conditions such as presences of discontinuities in good intact rocks, and considered to be necessary that awareness of the conditions of discontinuities in advance is important to apply adequate reinforcement measures. It is also shown that a serious accident had occurred because of the unawareness of the permeable alluvial deposits at the top of the tunnel. And it is shown that the example of application of the results of geotechnical investigation such as face-mapping, pilot boring etc. during tunnel construction, and a serious deformation of tunnel under special geological condition. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to perform an adequate geotechnical investigation to confirm the geotechnical conditons of ground before design, and supplimentary investigation is also needed depending on conditions for safe and econonic construction.

Many old domestic mines were excavated with the room and pillar method or the sublevel caving method and they involve the great possibility of surface subsidence, especially in the shallow depth mines. In most of these cases, the mine roadways and openings are very irregular in shape and the information about the local geology is uncertain. Consequently it is not simple to standardize the estimation method for the possibility of subsidence, especially the sinkhole subsidence. In this study, the fuzzy reasoning method has been applied for development of estimating the possibility of subsidence occurrence in abandoned mine area. This method has the advantage in producing the reliable estimation results with a simple performance procedure even when the precise information on the local geology and mining conditions is rare. For the verification of applicability of this method, the developed method has been applied to Kumho mine in Bonghwa, Kyungbook province and the Choong-ju mine in Iryu, Choongbook province where the surface subsidence occurred already.

우리 나라는 70년대까지 광업은 부흥하였으나, 그 이후 급속히 위축되면서 80년대 이후 거의 대부분 광산들이 폐광 또는 휴광된 실정이다. 그 결과 현재 전국 각지에 다수의 폐갱도가 존재하게 되었으며, 이제는 지반침하 및 각종 침출수의 원인자로 간주될 정도이다. 최근 지자체에서는 이런 폐갱도를 지역 자원으로서 가치를 인정하고 지역 활성화를 위해 재 이용하려는 움직임이 보이고 있는데, 구체적으로는 관광시설, 연구시설, 농업생산시설, 저장시설, 폐기물처리시설 등이다. 일본은 폐광된 금속광산 재활용을 위해 입지여건과 주변지역, 입갱 가능성 등 기초조사를 하였다. 조사결과 폐갱도의 문제점으로 입갱이 가능한 광산이 적다는 점을 들 수 있다. 대부분의 광산은 갱구가 함몰되었거나, 갱내에 지하수가 차 있어 접근이 불가능한 경우가 대부분이다. 비교적 양호한 암반 경우는 서브 레벨 스토핑, 잔주, 주방식 등의 채굴법에 의해 대규모 공동이 잔존하고 있는 경우도 있지만 그리 많지 않았다. 폐광된 광산 재활용 여건은 우리 나라와 일본이 대동소이 경우로 현실적으로 활용이 가능한 폐광은 많지 않으며 활용코자 할 때에는 기존갱도를 활용하면서 암반이 견고한 곳에 새로운 갱도를 설치하여야 한다. 그러나 몇몇 곳에서는 매우 유용하게 잘 활용되고 있는 곳도 있고, 연구 검토하면 충분한 활용성이 있다고 생각되는 곳도 있다. 그러므로 현재의 상황을 보고 판단할 것이 아니라, 활용기술과 접목해서 활용성을 검토함으로써 불용 자산의 유용화 방안이 검토되어야 할 것이다. 현재 가행중인 광산은 입지여건 및 암반이 양호하고, 대형갱도를 굴착하는 석회석광산 등을 선택하여 폐광 후 활용이 가능토록 채광기술 발전시켜 나가야 하며, 인간 중심적인 시설 또는 산물 중심적인 시설로 구분하여 폐광 후 복구비용을 우선 지원하는 방식 등을 통하여 시추, 탐광굴진, 현대화, 수갱굴착, 자금융자 등을 지원하는 우리 공사와 산업자원부가 지자체, 산림청, 건교부, 농림부 등과 연계하여 종합적인 지원육성책을 마련하여야 할 것이다. 결과적으로, 지방자치단체 등에서 관심을 갖고 있는 저장시설, 폐기물처리시설, 관광시설, 농업생산시설, 연구시설 등을 중심으로 ＆apos;광산 채굴적을 미래에 어떻게 활용한 것인가＆apos;를 선진외국 사례를 벤치마킹하고, 연구ㆍ검토하여 친환경적인 광산개발이 되도록 기본적인 방향과 개념을 갖도록 하여 관련 정책을 계획적이고, 체계적으로 수립 일관성 있게 추진해 나가야 할 것이다.

In blasting for lighting, fatigue behaviors of pillars such as destruction and deformation may occur due to blasting vibration and flyrock, which may cause collapses of cavities. This study aims to identify dynamic behavior of pillars to maintain efficient safety of cavities in large drafts. when they collide with flyrocks under blasting for the excavation. For the purpose, we compared ground vibration around pillar when flyrock collided with the pillar and that when explosive blast happened for the excavation. we conducted fragmentation analysis of the flyrock and compared impact vibration obtained from empirical equation with ground vibration obtained from regression analysis of real vibration data. also we compared those with results analyzed from numerical analysis.

Recently, complaints or environmental problems caused by the noise and dust generated from crusher of the mine and quarry are emerging. Therefore mining facilities such as crushers and mills have been installed in an underground. In order to facilitate crusher equipments in the underground, excavation of large space is required and then the stability of the large space underground structure is an important issue. In this study, the blast experiments, which use a block of the limestone, are performed. Based on the blast experiments, the numerical model was prepared and simulated using dynamic fracture process analysis code(DFPA) with considering the rising time of applied borehole pressure and microscopic tensile strength variation. Comparing the non-dimensional crack length and no-dimensional tensile strength obtained from blast experiments and numerical analyses, the input parameters of DFPA code for predicting a radial tensile crack in limestone blasting were determined.

For the syntheses of tritium labelled polystyrene, the basic material for the preparation of tritium luminous compound, various methods of labelling such as Tesla discharge, Wilzbach exposure, gamma irradiation, and U V. irradiation were compared in view of getting high specific activity-product. The obtained polystyrene-T(G) by the method of Tesla discharge and by the method of U. V. irradiation had specific activity of 1～1.2 mCi/mg, and these two methods were the most encouraging. Mixing of 1 part of polystyrene-T(G) with 4 parts of ZnS:Cu phosphor, in weight, appeared to be the most suitable ratio in tile preparation of luminous compound in luminosity point of view. When 30 mg. of obtained luminescent mixture was applied on steel plate by using 1 ml. of the selected binder (i.e., 1g of commercial varnish in 100m1. of benzene) the luminosity maximum was ca. 20 micro Lambert. The prepared luminous compound was confirmed to be practically applicable for mine marker or dark-room light source.
