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.

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.

Gravity method produces subsurface density distribution, which is direct information of soundness of basement. Therefore, microgravity is one of the most effective method for detections of limestone cavities, abandoned mine-shafts and other tunnels, The paper show the effectiveness of microgravity by three different field cases.

The collapse of the underground cavity can cause the abrupt local subsidence of the ground surface. It can be hazardous to the stability of road and building for human activity. Therefore it is necessary to develop reinforcement methods for the filling of the underground cavity. This study was executed to improve the material quality and systems to fill the calcium-aluminate mineral $(C_{12}A_7)$ environmentally, and minimize the loss of filling materials for the steep underground cavity. Filling material which was developed in this study is composed of rapid hardening material and additives. The developed material had rapid hardening and non-separation ability in the water cavity condition, so it made the effective underground dam in the cavity with prevention of material loss when it was poured in the water cavity. Results of heavy metal leaching test for environmental assessment showed that it was environmentally suiTable material for the filling in the mine cavity.

Recently, underground cavities such as limestone cavity and abandoned mine give rise to a lot of damage in SOC facilities. But there are many difficult problems such as delay of the working terms and enormous economic losses in finding a new method and changing construction design. In this study, a new filling material for underground cavities was developed using the stone-dust classified as industry waste polluting environment. As a result of test, filling material properties was that a compressive strength was $34{\~}60\;kgf/cm^2$, a change ratio in length was $0.268{\~}0.776\%$ and water absorption was $34.3{\~}46.9\%$. Also as a result of suspended mass test and pH test, it was confirmed that the developed filling material has a characteristic of non-separating in water and it was an environmentally friendly material.

The abandoned mines causing settlement of the surface above and collapse of the cavities are the major influencing factor on the stability of the nearby underground structures. To prevent the harmful effect, the backfill methods are commonly applied to the cavities although the design criteria and the analysis method are not properly addressed in some cases. An approximate analytical method together with the numerical technique is considered in this study to simulate the gradual deterioration of the rock masses around the cavities and, therefore, the influential zone to the underground structures passing through the cavities. Also considered in this study is the backfill effect on the stability of the rock masses around the cavities. Specifically, the incomplete backfill effect is compared with that of the idealized backfill method by adopting elasto-plastic analysis involving a strain softening material law.

For increase of reality in numerical analysis, a blasting vibration waveform obtained from field blast operations has been directly used for input parameters of dynamic analysis in the form of vibration velocity. A numerical model was built considering the geological characteristics of underground limestone opening as well as the mining stages in this opening, and the effect of blast operations on stability of underground limestone opening was investigated by dynamic numerical analysis. The adequacy of applying the real vibration waveform to dynamic analysis has been approved from the preliminary analysis, and the dynamic numerical analysis results show that the continuous mining operation can cause the collapse of roof in openings and the active yield zone around openings. Therefore, the additional reinforcements should be applied for ensuring the stability of underground limestone openings.

Seismic reflection data was obtained by using 28 and 100 Hz geophones at the ground subsidence sites in an old coal mine area. Frequency spectrum of the geophone analyzed with offset revealed that 1) In the near offset ($1\~10m$), the signals in the 100 Hz geophone data contains higher frequency components (up to 300 Hz) than that of the 28 Hz (<200 Hz), 2) In the intermediate offset ($11\~39m$), although the 28 Hz geophone data showed very similar frequency characteristics as the near offset data, the 100Hz geophone data seemed to be contaminated by noise at high frequency zone (>200 Hz). In the far offset ($\geq40\;m$), the signals in both the 28 and 100 Hz geophone data are attenuated to noise level at high frequency Bone more than 150 Hz.

In order to visualize mine cavities, 3D seismic reflection data were acquired at the ground subsidence sites near Nampung coal mine area, Neukguri, Dogye, Samchuck. Full range 3D array with complete range of azimuths on the bins was considered in the data acquisition design. Because of poor S/N data, we estimated the stacking velocities by CVS method, and we estimated the shot and receiver statics on the shot and receiver stack data. We could confirm that features of ground collapse that were expected from the subsidence. In order to visualize the cavities, we need to apply more sophisticated processing schemes, such as velocity analysis, residual statics correction.

The domestic mine development community the countermeasure establishment is insufficient about ground sinkage, not only the mine which is a in line is partial from the mine of the most which has become the rest mine and abandoned mine or the index sinkage occurs. The ground sinkage which occurs from the abandoned mine area most after operation is stopped, a long time passes and accurately predicts an occurrence location and a time with the residual sinkage which occurs, is difficult. Underground goaf of the abandoned mine and the closed shaft When considering the potentiality which causes the instability of ground, is a possibility of reaching a damage in the ground infrastructure or life. The underground shaft which is formed specially with mine development and goaf operates with the obstacle factor in the development project of the mine area, the ground sinkage which is caused by with sinkage, operates with the large safety accident occurrence factor where the important infrastructure of the railroad, road, residential area etc. is damaged. Therefore, In this paper, the goaf cave of the abandoned mine area, for the displacement behavior according to the filling factor of the material is to analyze the numerical analysis.
