Numerical Simulation of Karst Collapse in Limestone Mining Areas Based on FLAC3D
The mining area is a limestone building materials mine with open-pit depression mining.With the mining and groundwater pumping,a large number of karst collapses are generated around the mine,seri-ously affecting the safety production of the mine and the production and life of the surrounding residents.Using FLAC3D technology,natural electric field frequency selection method exploration,and geological com-prehensive analysis to grasp the mechanism and distribution law of karst collapse,the research results show that fault structures are developed on the east,north,and south sides of the mine pit;Mining production drainage of groundwater and mining blasting causing vacuum suction and water seepage leading to karst col-lapse around the mine pit;Based on FLAC3D technology,numerical simulation analysis of karst collapse in mining areas is conducted,and the numerical simulation results are basically consistent with geological analy-sis,geophysical exploration conclusions,and the current situation of collapse.The research results provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of karst collapse in the later stage.
