Geotechnical Design of an Underground Mine Dam in Gyöngyösoroszi, Hungary

There are several mines in this volcanic mountain, which have been quarried since the early medieval ages. This abandoned heavy and non-ferrous metal mine is about 340-m deep. Mine closure had become necessary due to environmental reasons, because the stored water was highly acidic. The goal of this paper is to present a complex rock engineering design for infilling the drift ways. First of all, a rock mass characterization was necessary for determining the different rock-mass parameters, along with the hydrogeological conditions. Secondly, the stability of the dam was verified by different lengths, applying a geotechnical software using the finite element method. The filling material (ash) originated from a nearby power plant. The dam was designed with a corresponding drainage system and drainage capacity. The filling ash was retained with geogrid-reinforced gabion walls.

SOIL MODELS: SAFETY FACTORS AND SETTLEMENTS

In this paper we compare how the application of three different models influences the results in case of different types of soil using the results of laboratory tests from several parts of Hungary. From the analysis of a cutting, soft-soil model deformations are much smaller than that of the other two models. The results of the calculation of an embankment are similar. The safety parameters are approximately the same for each model.

STABILITY OF THE ELEVATED RIVER BANK AT RÁCALMÁS

Eight houses were damaged and it was to be feared even that the motions would continue. On the basis of the soil explorations and field examinations it was possible to make probable the evolution of sliding planes one near to the terrain and the other passing deeper -above the Pannonian clay. The stability tests also confirmed this assumption. The motion has been induced by the combined effect of several causes. For the sake of avoiding greater damages the protection against the motion and increase in the safety coefficient were indispensable.

Vizsgálatok alapján azt tapasztalták, hogy az oldott Pb-, Zn-, Cd-tartalom a bányavízben többszörösen meghaladta a megengedett érétket. 1986-ban megkezdődtek a bánya bezárására vonatkozó intézkedések, 2003-ban a Mecsekérc Rt. által, majd 2004-ben az innen kivált Mecsek-Öko Rt. által megindultak az ércbányászat teljes hatásterületére kiterjedő kármentesítési, tájrendezési és rekultivációs tevékenységekkelkapcsolatos tervezési és engedélyeztetési, kivitelezési munkálatok.
