  • 최근 환경문제 및 법적규제의 강화로 광산의 개발이 노천채광에서 갱내채광으로 전환됨에 따라 지하채굴 공동의 안정성이 광산의 운영 및 생산성 부분에서 최대 관심사로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 갱내채광 설계와 안정성 평가의 입력 자료로 활용하기 위해 지질조사, 불연속면 조사, 실내 암석실험, 암반분류를 수행하였으며, 암반분류 결과를 이용하여 무지보로 안정을 유지할 수 있는 채굴 공동과 광주의 규격을 결정하였다. 또한, 경험적 방법(stability graph, 한계 공동폭 곡선)과 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 지하채굴 공동의 안정성을 평가하였다.

  • The mining-related damages such as ground subsidence, acid mine drainage(AMD), and deforestation in the abandoned underground coal mine areas become an object of public concern. Therefore, the system to manage the miningrelated damages is needed for the effective drive of rehabilitation activities. The management system for Abandoned Underground Coal Mine using GIS includes the database about mining record and information associated with the mining-related damages and application programs to support mine damage prevention business. Also, this system would support decision-making policy for rehabilitation and provide basic geological data for regional construction works in abandoned underground coal mine areas.

  • With the development and utilization of urban underground space, the artificial ground freezing technology has been widely used in the construction of underground engineering in soft soil areas. The mechanical properties of soft clay changed greatly after freezing and thawing, which affected the seismic performance of underground structures. In this paper, a series of triaxial tests were carried out to study the dynamic response of the freezing-thawing clay under the seismic load considering different dynamic stress amplitudes and different confining pressures. The reduction factor of dynamic shear stress was determined to correct the amplitude of the seismic load. The deformation development mode, the stress-strain relationship and the energy dissipation behavior of the soft clay under the seismic load were analyzed. An empirical model for predicting accumulative plastic strain was proposed and validated considering the loading times, the confining pressures and the dynamic stress amplitudes. The relevant research results can provide a theoretical reference to the seismic design of underground structures in soft clay areas.

  • The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is a basic parameter in underground engineering design. The disadvantages of this commonly employed laboratory testing method are untimely testing, difficulty in performing core testing of broken rock mass and long and complicated onsite testing processes. Therefore, the development of a fast and simple in situ rock UCS testing method for field use is urgent. In this study, a multi-function digital rock drilling and testing system and a digital core bit dedicated to the system are independently developed and employed in digital drilling tests on rock specimens with different strengths. The energy analysis is performed during rock cutting to estimate the energy consumed by the drill bit to remove a unit volume of rock. Two quantitative relationship models of energy analysis-based core drilling parameters (ECD) and rock UCS (ECD-UCS models) are established in this manuscript by the methods of regression analysis and support vector machine (SVM). The predictive abilities of the two models are comparatively analysed. The results show that the mean value of relative difference between the predicted rock UCS values and the UCS values measured by the laboratory uniaxial compression test in the prediction set are 3.76 MPa and 4.30 MPa, respectively, and the standard deviations are 2.08 MPa and 4.14 MPa, respectively. The regression analysis-based ECD-UCS model has a more stable predictive ability. The energy analysis-based rock drilling method for the prediction of UCS is proposed. This method realized the quick and convenient in situ test of rock UCS.

  • In this paper, to study the stability of surrounding rock during roadway excavation in different rock mass structures, the physical model test for roadway excavation process in three types of intact rock mass, layered rock mass and massive rock mass were carried out by using the self-developed two-dimensional simulation testing system of complex underground engineering. Firstly, based on the engineering background of a deep mine in eastern China, the similar materials of the most appropriate ratio in line with the similarity theory were tested, compared and determined. Then, the physical models of four different schemes with 1000 mm (height) × 1000 mm (length) × 250 mm (width) were constructed. Finally, the roadway excavation was carried out after applying boundary conditions to the physical model by the simulation testing system. The results indicate that the supporting effect of rockbolts has a great influence on the shallow surrounding rock, and the rock mass structure can affect the overall stability of the surrounding rock. Furthermore, the failure mechanism and bearing capacity of surrounding rock were further discussed from the comparison of stress evolution characteristics, distribution of stress arch, and failure modes in different schemes.

  • In the present study, a physical model was built for the Jintan underground gas storage cavern group according to the similarity theory. In this regard, four ellipsoid caverns were built with scaled in-situ stresses and internal pressure. Then the stability of underground caverns was analyzed. The obtained results demonstrate that loss of internal pressure adversely affects the safety of caverns and attention should be paid during the operation of gas storage.

  • This study presents an energy analysis for large-strain cavity expansion problem based on the general strength criterion and energy theory. This study focuses on the energy dissipation problem during the cavity expansion process, dividing the soil mass around the cavity into an elastic region and a plastic region. Assuming compliance with the small deformation theory in the elastic region and the large deformation theory in the plastic region, combined with the general strength criterion of soil mass and energy theory, the energy dissipation solution for cavity expansion problem is derived. Firstly, from an energy perspective, the process of cavity expansion in soil mass is described as an energy conversion process. The energy dissipation mechanism is introduced into the traditional analysis of cavity expansion, and a general analytical solution for cavity expansion related to energy is derived. Subsequently, based on this general analytical solution of cavity expansion, the influence of different strength criterion, large-strain, expansion radius, cavity shape and characteristics of soil mass on the stress distribution, displacement field and energy evolution around the cavity is studied. Finally, the effectiveness and reliability of theoretical solution is verified by comparing the results of typical pressure-expansion curves with existing literature algorithms. The results indicate that different strength criterion have a relatively small impact on the displacement and strain field around the cavity, but a significant impact on the stress distribution and energy evolution around the cavity.

  • 해외의 일부 광업 선도국에서는 정량적인 설계지침을 제시하거나 별도의 광산 갱도 설계지침을 개발하여 배포함으로써 지하광산 운영 시 대규모 인적 물적 피해로 이어질 가능성이 높은 낙반 및 붕락 재해의 발생을 최소화하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 국내의 경우에는 광산안전기술기준 등 광산개발 관련 지침을 통해 근로자 사고 방지를 위한 안전수칙과 작업지침을 제공하고 있으나, 갱도설계에 대한 부분에서는 정성적이고 불명확한 시공 지침만을 제공하는 데에 그치고 있다. 최근 국내 환경규제 및 천부 자원 고갈로 인해 광산이 점차 심부화되고 있는 추세이며, 갱도의 안정성을 확보하기 위해 정량적인 설계 규격을 제공할 수 있는 전문적이고 체계적인 광산 갱도설계 지침에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 원고에서는 국내외 광산 갱도설계 실태와 연구동향 및 현행 설계지침에 대한 현황 조사를 통해 국내 갱도 설계지침 개발을 위한 사전연구를 수행하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 GMG (Global Mining Guidelines Group)에서 개발한 광업 분야 가이드라인을 중심으로 스마트 마이닝 기술 국제 표준화 동향을 분석하였다. GMG는 글로벌 광업 커뮤니티를 하나로 묶는 비영리 단체이며, 광업의 안전과 혁신, 지속가능성을 제고시키기 위한 목적으로 설립되었다. 현재 GMG의 실무그룹은 인공지능, 자산관리, 자율 채광, 사이버 보안, 데이터 접근 및 사용/상호 운용성, 전기화, 광물 처리, 지하 채광, 지속가능성 실무그룹으로 구성되어 있다. 스마트 마이닝 기술과 관련한 가이드라인 개발 프로젝트는 인공지능, 자율 채광, 사이버 보안, 데이터 접근 및 사용/상호운용성, 지하 채광 실무그룹에서 진행되고 있다. 2022년 4월 현재 8종의 스마트 마이닝 관련 가이드라인은 사전 착수, 착수, 가이드라인 정의, 콘텐츠 생성, 기술 수정, 레이아웃 및 최종 검토, 투표 과정을 거쳐 출판되었다. GMG에서 출판한 가이드라인은 국내 스마트 마이닝 기술 표준 개발에 있어 중요한 참고 자료가 될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
