Abstract

The typical blasting method adopted in Pasir Coal Mine is a surface blasting technique with a single free face. It means that there is only one free face, which is usually the ground surface. This kind of blasting method is easy to use but inevitably causes enormous ground vibrations, which, in turn, can affect the stability of the slopes comprising the various boundaries of the open pit mine. In addition, the method also has the problem of lowering the overall blast efficiency compared to other methods such as bench blasting methods or ones with more than two free faces. In this respect, a project was launched to develop a new blasting method that is suitable for both controling the ground vibration and enhancing the blast efficiency. As a part of the project, we investigated the current blasting method of the mine, and have conducted field measurements of the ground vibrations from 12 biasts. This Paper presents the details of the typical blasting pattern and the Propagation characteristics of the ground vibration from the surface blasting in the mine. Especially, various predictive equations for peak Particle velocities that can be used to estimate the ground vibration level in the mine area were derived from the regression analyses using the measured ground vibration data.

인도네시아 파시르 탄광에서는 전형적으로 일자유면 발파방법이 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 이 방법은 노천에서 지표면을 유일한 자유면으로 한 발파법이므로 구속이 커서 화약의 에너지가 저항선의 파괴에 효율적으로 사용되지 못하고 발파의 부작용으로 간주되는 지반진동의 유발에 많이 소모된다. 현재 파시르 탄광에서는 모암의 제거를 위한 굴착발파에 이와 같은 일자유면 발파방법을 적용하고 있지만 이는 노천광산에서 일반적으로 적용되는 이자유면 발파인 계단식 발파에 비해 큰 지반진동을 유발할 가능성이 높다 더욱이 파시르 탄광의 경우 노천 채굴적의 양안이 연약사면으로 이루어진 곳이 많아 높은 지반진동 수준은 이들 사면의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다 또한, 진동문제와는 별도로 일자유면 발파는 저항선이 하나뿐이므로 암반파괴의 측면에서도 발파효율이 좋지 않다. 따라서 파시르 탄광에서 나타나고 있는 발파의 비효율성과 진동증가 문제를 개선할 목적으로 새로운 발파공법에 대한 연구가 착수되었으며, 이 연구의 일환으로 현행 발파공법에 대한 조사가 기 수행된 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 파시르 탄광에서 수행한 지반진동의 계측과정과 결과를 현행 발파공법과 함께 제시하고, 측정된 자료에 대한 통계처리를 통해 대상지역에서의 지반진동의 전파특성을 분석하였다.
