Abstract
Various mining hazards have been occurring in abandoned mine areas and they are highly prone to cause devastating social problems. Among them, ground subsidence needs to be seriously considered because it usually occurs in a type of unexpected accident resulting in loss of lives and property damage. At present MIRECO is in charge of the prevention of the mine subsidence where high risk areas are evaluated and categorized for subsequent reclamation. Several pre-existing methods of subsidence prediction are used to evaluate the ground stability, but they have limits to be directly applied to domestic mine conditions. Therefore, new subsidence prediction methods that suits to domestic mine conditions are under development. This paper introduces a few case histories of domestic mine subsidence followed by the past projects for mine subsidence prevention conducted by MIRECO.
국내 폐광지역에서 발생하는 다양한 형태의 광해는 사회적으로 큰 문제를 일으키고 있으며, 그 중에서도 지반침하는 예측할 수 없는 사고의 형태로 흔히 발생하여 경제적 손실 및 인명피해를 유발한다는 측면에서 중요하게 다루어져야 하는 사안이다. 현재 폐광지역에 대한 지반침하 방지 및 복구 사업은 한국광해관리공단(MIRECO)에서 주관하여 시행하고 있으며, 지반안정성 평가를 통해 위험지역을 선정 구분하고 복구사업을 진행하고 있다. 지반안정성 평가기법으로는 과거 개발된 침하이론이 주로 사용되고 있으나, 이를 국내 현장에 그대로 적용하기에는 한계가 따른다. 따라서 국내 조건에 부합하는 지반안정성 평가기법에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 본 고에서는 국내 폐광지역 침하사례와 현재까지 이루어진 지반침하 방지 사업에 대한 내용을 개략적으로 소개하고자 한다.
