海底矿体开挖下的断裂带突水效应研究

矿井水害是因井巷和采掘工作面与含水层、地表水体或含水的裂隙带、溶洞、构造破碎带等接近或沟通而突然发生的出水事故,由于其突发性和出水量巨大的特点,常常影响矿山生产甚至造成淹井等严重后果。断裂带作为岩体内的低强度带,受矿体开挖影响常常产生断层活化现象,而有可能成为矿坑突水的通道。本文根据三山岛金矿新立矿区海底采矿的地质条件,结合实际工况,采取数值模拟方法,对矿床开采引起断裂带活化的状况以及上覆海底粘土隔水层的沉陷变形进行了分析。模拟结果表明:断裂带与上盘围岩接触带是受到开采扰动强烈的地带,断裂带和上覆海底粘土隔水层的阻水效应随着采场的逐渐上移而弱化,当开采至-135m水平时,海底矿山的生产安全将受到海水溃入的威胁。

Research on activating effects of fault zone induced by mining subsea orebody

Being a water yielding accident,water disaster in a mine happened suddenly when mine shafts or mining faces got close or connected to aquifers,surface water,water-filled fracture zones or karst caves.It often set back mine productivity or even caused flooding because of its sudden break-out and enormous quantity.As the fracture zone was generally a low strength region in the rock mass,mining the ore body often made a fault active,which probably formed a pathway for water bursting.Based on the geological con...
