The increasing demand for metallic minerals due to global growth and the continued exploitation of near-surface minerals requires safe and efficient ways to mine ores present in deep mines. In deep mines, stresses concentrated around the cavity increase, which can lead to problems such as induced seismicity and rockbursts. In addition, the transfer of energy from blasting to deeply located faults can cause fault slip, which can lead to earthquakes, and controlling these events is key to deep mining methods. In this technical report, we will introduce the Underhand Closed Bench (UCB) mining method, which can control possible accidents and increase productivity when mining in deep mines.

고심도의 청각장애를 가진 아동의 음성은 높은 음도와 강도, 과비음 등 건청 아동과는 매우 다른 특성을 나타낸다. 그 중에서 초분절적인 요소에 속하는 억양은 청각장애 아동의 경우 단조롭고 높낮이 변화가 크지 않아서 의미전달에 어려움을 주는 중요한 요소이다. 청력손실이 고심도인 경우 수술을 하게 되면 청각적 수용능력을 높일 수 있어, 최근 부각되고 있는 인공 와우 이식수술을 받은 아동 또한 이러한 억양에서의 문제는 완전히 해결 받지 못하고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 인공 와우 이식수술을 받은 청각장애 아동이 건청 아동과 억양에서 어떠한 차이를 드러내는지에 대해 알아보고자 하였다.

Globally, the deepening depth in the underground is a situation of the high interest for a purpose of the development of various facilities. The development of deep underground space should be based on the structural stability of rocks. Spalling is known to have an impact on the structural stability degradation in deep underground space. As an attempt to predict spalling, many researchers have proposed predicted conditions in accordance with stress states which occur around the tunnel, rock conditions, and types of rock. In addition, the analysis on spalling method has been verified by using computer modeling such as FLAC, EXAMINE, Insight 2D, UDEC and FRACOD, along with in-situ measurement results. In Canada URL (Underground Research Tunnel), CWFS model (Cohesion Weakening Frictional Strengthening) was used to precisely predict for the state of spalling, comparing spalling modeling. CWFS model has been identified as a reliable method for predicting such phenomena. This study aims to analyze several cases of spalling, and then make a comparison between the conditions for spalling occurrence and the predicted results of model CWFS. With this, it investigates the applicability of prediction of spalling, targeting pillar under deep depth condition.

In the field of high-level radioactive waste disposal targeting deep rock environments, hydraulic characteristic information serves as the most important key factor in selecting relevant disposal sites, detailed design of disposal facilities, derivation of optimal construction plans, and safety evaluation during operation. Since various rock types are mixed and distributed in a small area in Korea, it is important to conduct preliminary work to analyze the hydrogeological characteristics of rock aquifers for various rock types and compile the resulting data into a database. In this paper, we obtained hydraulic conductivity data, which is the most representative field hydraulic characteristic of a high-depth volcanic bedrock aquifer, and also analyzed and evaluated the field data. To acquire field data, we used a high-performance hydraulic testing system developed in-house and applied standardized test methods and investigation procedures. In the process of hydraulic characteristic data analysis, hydraulic conductivity values were obtained for each depth, and the pattern of groundwater flow through permeable rock joints located in the test section was also evaluated. It is expected that the series of data acquisition methods, procedures, and analysis results proposed in this report can be used to build a database of hydraulic characteristics data for high-depth rock aquifers in Korea. In addition, it is expected that it will play a role in improving technical know-how to be applied to research on hydraulic characteristic according to various bedrock types in the future.

우리나라에는 현재 고리, 월성, 영광 등 11기의 원자력 발전소가 운영되면서 전체 전력생산량의 40% 이상을 담당하고 있으며, 2006년까지는 12기가 추가 건설되어 총 23기의 원자력 발전소가 운영되어 국내 총 전력생산량의 절반 이상을 담당하게 될 예정이다. 하지만 이러한 원자력 발전은 필연적으로 인체에 유해한 각종 방사성 폐기물을 생산하게 되므로 이에 대한 처분기술은 대단히 높은 안전율을 고려하여 확보되어야 한다. 한국원자력연구소의 기초연구에 의하면 국내 실정상 지하 암반내 심층처분이 가장 유리한 시스템인 것으로 보고되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 심도 500m 이상의 고심도 지하 암반내에 터널을 뚫고 터널 바닥면에 처분공을 일렬로 굴착하여 이 처분공 내에 canister로 밀봉된 방사성폐기물을 유기하는 KBS-3 처분 시스템을 제안하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 KBS-3 처분 시스템을 고려할 경우, 필연적으로 야기되는 고심도 지하에서의 초기응력성분이 처분 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 수치해석을 실시하였으며 이와 함께 제반 설계정수 중에서 초기응력값이 어떠한 비중을 차지하는지를 살펴보았다.

Lots of various utilities are buried under the surface. The effective management of underground utilities is becoming the very important subject for the harmonious administration of the city. Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) survey including other various underground survey methods, is mainly used to detect the position and depth of buried underground utilities. However, GPR is not applicable, under the circumstances of shallow depth and places, where subsurface materials are inhomogeneous and are composed of clay, salt and gravels. The aim of this study is to overcome these limitations of GPR and other underground surveys. High-frequency electromagnetic (HFEM) method is developed for the non-destructive precise deep surveying of underground utilities. The method is applied in the site where current underground surveys are useless to detect the underground big pipes, because of poor geotechnical environment. As a result, HFEM survey was very successful in detecting the buried shallow and deep underground pipes and in obtaining the geotechnical information, although other underground surveys including GPR were not applicable. Therefore this method is a promising new technique in the lots of fields, such as underground surveying and archaeology.
