In this study, travel time data collection of mine equipments was conducted in an underground mine using a reverse Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) system. In the reverse RFID system, RFID readers and antennas are mounted on mine equipments, and RFID tags are attached to the underground mine gallery. Indoor experiments were performed to analyze how RFID reader transmission power levels affect tag readable area and tag recognition rates. The results showed that travel time measurement become precise when the reader transmission power was reduced, however tag recognition rates were reduced. The field experiments indicated that setting the reader transmission power to 28 dBm maintained the tag recognition rate while minimizing the tracking location error. In addition, the results revealed that the reverse RFID system can be used successfully in an underground mine to collect the travel time data of haulage trucks.

To perform efficient and safe haulage operations in mines, the condition of unsurfaced roads where dump trucks are moving should be regularly investigated, and systematic maintenance should be carried out according to the results. In this study, we developed a smartphone application that can be used to periodically investigate the unsurfaced road conditions in mines. Using the developed application, necessary data can be easily collected on site to evaluate the condition of unsurfaced roads according to the Unsurfaced Road Condition Index (URCI) evaluation system presented by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The smartphone application was tested at several sections of unsurfaced road in the Ilkwang mine, Busan, Korea. The results showed that the field investigation about 7 factors considered in the URCI evaluation system can be conducted through the user interface screen, and the URCI value can be calculated in the field to evaluate the condition of unsurfaced road. The smartphone application developed in this study can be useful for surveying and evaluating the unsurfaced road conditions at the mine site.

국내 석회석 광산에서는 벤치 발파패턴을 현장의 KNOW-HOW에 따라 가장 경제저인 발파패턴을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 인건비 재료비등 제반경비가 상승함에 따라 좀 더 효율적인 발파방법의 개선이 요구되고 있는 바, 현 석회석 광산에서의 발파패턴을 보다 개선하여 경제적인 발파패턴을 적용하고, 그에 따른 고려해야 할 사항들을 본 논문에서 연구 하고자 한다. 따라서 국내 석회석 광산의 발파 패턴과 외국의 광산발파 패턴을 비교하고, 수치해석을 적용하여 기존의 발파 패턴에서 장약길이, 공간격, 장약량의 변화, 천공경은 102mm에서 115mm로 변화하고 장양방법을 단일장약에서 이중장약으로 변화하여 동해 쌍용자원에서 시험을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 장약길이의 20% 감소는 Power Factor를 (20%)낮게 하나, 파쇄효과는 28% 감소하고 Back Break가 (7%)이상 발생하였으며, 천공경을 115mm로 적용하고, 장약길이를 11% 감소를 위하여 이중장약을 적용하여 Power Factor를 10% 낮게 하였을 때 파쇄효과는 22.45%가 증대되었으며, 기존 동일 패턴에 Booster를 추가로 적용하였을 때 파쇄효과는 13.21% 가 증대되었고, Power Factor는 11% 가 감소되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the stability analyses for metal mine roadways at a great depth were performed. In-situ stress measurements using hydrofracturing, numerous laboratory tests for rock cores and GSI & RMR classifications were conducted in order to find the physical properties of both intact rock and in-situ rock mass distributed in the studied metal mine. Through the scenario analysis and probabilistic assessment on the results of rock mass classification, the in-situ ground conditions of mine roadways were divided into the best, the average and the worst cases, respectively. The roadway stabilities corresponding to the respective conditions were assessed by way of the elasto-plastic analysis. In addition, the appropriate roadway shapes and the support patterns were examined through the numerical analyses considering the blast damaged zone around roadway. It was finally shown to be necessary to reduce the radius of roadway roof curvature and/or to install the crown reinforcement in order to enhance the stability of studied mine roadways.

Mostly mine support(Rock bolt and Support) which is currently general for reinforcements of a large scale tunnel is applied, Some executing a reinforcement to Poor ground by cast-in-place shotcrete. However On domestic mine conditions that couldn't having every time after mine tunnel excavation, it couldn't ensure the field batch plant which is a fixed in an issue of economies and site security, constructing it by supply gets from shotcrete materials combined in neighborhood ready mixed concrete manufacturing plants. carried shotcrete in ready mixed concrete manufacturing plants as migration length and time are falling off in quality. But, it is difficult for construction quality control By quality control arbitrariness absence at on-scene. In the present study, carry out Laboratory Test by kinds and percentages of accelerating agent for evalution of Mechanical Property and Durability of Shotcrete.

This study developed a simulation program for truck-loader haulage systems in an underground mine. A limestone underground mine in Korea was selected as a study area and investigated to design the simulation algorithm for truck-loader haulage systems. GPSS/H simulation language was utilized to develop the simulation program. Simulations were conducted to analyze the optimal number of haulage trucks dispatched in the 540 ML loading point by using the developed program. The simulation results showed that 8 trucks can maximize the daily production (2,076 ton). The real production (1,850 ton/day) of limestone ores was very similar to the simulated one (1,850.35 ton/day) when considers 7 trucks dispatched in the 540 ML loading point. In addition, average waiting time at loader were similar (waiting time by time study : 1.39 min, simulated waiting time : 1.35 min).

폐광된 광산에 방치된 폐광석에 함유되어 있는 황화광물이 분해되어 다른 광물에 흡착되거나, 산화환경에 안정한 형태의 2차 광물로 침전 혹은 공침 되는가에 대한 연구는 광산복 원을 결정하는데 직접적인 지구화학적 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 청양광산에 방치된 폐광석을 대상으로 XRD, SEM/EDS연구를 이용하여 산화작용으로 인한 황화광물 주변에 침전된 2차 광물에 대한 광물학적 연구를 수행하였다. 광물학적 연구 결과, 산화환경에서 황화광물의 산화작용으로 인하여 용출된 중금속 이온과 철과 망간 이온들은 침전(Fe, Mn, Pb), 공침 (Fe, Mn, As, Pb) 및 흡착(As, Cu, Pb, Zn) 등의 화학반응을 통하여 다시 고정화됨으로서, 현장에서 자연적으로 정화되고 있는 것이 확인되었다.
