Barricade failures generally occur at the early times of paste backfill when it is fresh in the stopes. The backfill strength increases and need for barricading pressure decreases as a result of the hydration reactions. In this study, paste backfill barricades of Cayeli copper mine were investigated to design cemented mineral processing plant tailings as barricade body concrete. Paste backfill in sub-level caving stopes of the mine needs to be barricaded for only four or five days. Therefore, short term strength and workability tests were applied on several cemented tailings material designs. Barricade failure mechanisms, important points of barricade designing and details of the new concrete material are explained in this work. According to the results obtained with this experimental study, the tailings were assessed to be used in concrete applied as temporary supports such as cemented paste backfill barricades.

노천채굴방식의 광산은 갱내채광에 비해 비교적 작업이 안전하고 채수율이 높으며 생산 원가가 저렴하여 대량생산과 공급이 가능하다는 장점이 있으나 산림훼손, 폐석 및 광재(鑛滓)의 퇴적, 광미(鑛尾)의 배출, 분진, 폐수, 소음, 지반침하, 토사유출, 산사태 등의 환경재해 유발요인들을 내재하고 있어 대표적 환경규제의 대상으로 흔히 지적되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노천광산에 대한 지형 및 환경 변화에 따른 문제에 대처하고, 친환경 생태학적 광간의 개발 및 복원을 위해서는 노천광산에 대한 주기적이고 정확한 모니터링 기법과 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노천광산에 대한 지형 및 환경 변화에 따른 문제에 대처하고, 친환경 생태학적 광간의 개발 및 복원을 위해서는 노천광산에 대한 주기적이고 정확한 모니터링 기법과 이를 이용한 시스템의 개발이 요구된다. 이에 기 개발되어있는 공간정보 오픈 플랫폼과 오픈소스 GIS툴을 이용하여 노천광산 모니터링 시스템 개발 환경 조성을 하고자 한다.

Backfilling of mine stopes with waste rocks or tailings is commonly done to enhance ground stability. It is also an alternative for mining wastes disposal. A successful application of underground backfilling requires an accurate evaluation of the stress distribution in stopes. Over the years, various analytical solutions have been proposed to assess these stresses. Most of them were based on the arching theory, considering uniform stresses across horizontal layer elements. The vertical and horizontal stresses in vertical stopes are principal stresses only along the vertical center line, but not close to the walls where there is rotation of the principal stresses. A few solutions use arc layer elements that follow the iso-contours of the minor principal stresses, based on numerical solutions. In this paper, a modified analytical solution is developed for the stresses in vertical backfilled stopes, considering a circular arc distribution. The proposed solution is calibrated with a few numerical modeling results and then validated by additional numerical simulations under different conditions.
