In order to mine the coal seam under super-thick hard roof, improve the utilization rate of resources and prolong the remaining service life of the mine, a case study of the Gaozhuang Coal Mine in the Zaozhuang Mining Area has been performed in this paper. Based on the specific mining geological conditions of ultra-close coal seams (#3up and #3low coal seams), their joint systematic analysis has been performed, with the focus made in the following three aspects: (i) prevention of rock burst under super-thick hard roof, (ii) deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in the lower coal seam, and (iii) fire prevention in the goaf of working face. Given the strong bursting tendency observed in upper coal seam and lower coal seam, the technology of preventing rock burst under super-thick hard roof was proposed, which involved setting of narrow section coal pillars to protect roadways and interleaving layout of working faces. The specific supporting scheme of surrounding rock of roadways in the #3low1101 working face was determined, and the grouting reinforcement method of local fractured zones through Marithan was further proposed, to ensure the deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in lower coal seams. The proposed fire prevention technology envisaged goaf grouting and spraying to plug leaks, which reduced the hazard of spontaneous combustion of residual coals in mined ultra-close coal seams. The technical and economic improvements with a direct economic benefit of 5.55 million yuan were achieved by the application of the proposed comprehensive technical support. The research results obtained provide a theoretical guidance and technical support of safe mining strategies of close coal seams in other mining areas.

Abstract Two case studies were conducted in the Shennan mining area of Shaanxi Province, China to evaluate the surrounding rock deformation and stress evolution in pre-driven longwall recovery rooms. These studies mainly monitored the surrounding rock deformation and coal pillar stress in the recovery rooms of the N1206 panel of 2−2 coal seam at Ningtiaota Coal Mine and the 15205 panel of 5−2 coal seam at Hongliulin Coal Mine. The monitoring results showed that the surrounding rock deformation of the main recovery room and the coal pillar stress in the N1206 and 15205 panels began to increase significantly when the face was 36 m and 42 m away from the terminal line, respectively. After the face entered the main recovery room, the maximum roof-to-floor convergence in the N1206 and 15205 panels was 348.03 mm and 771.24 mm, respectively, and the coal pillar stresses increased more than 5 MPa and 7 MPa, respectively. In addition, analysis of the periodic weighting data showed that the main roof break position of the N1206 and 15205 panels after the longwall face entered the main recovery room was − 3.8 m and − 8.2 m, respectively. This research shows that when the main roof breaks above the coal pillar, the surrounding rock deformation of the main recovery room and the coal pillar stress increase sharply. The last weighting is the key factor affecting the stability of the main recovery room and the coal pillar; main roof breaks at disadvantageous positions are the main cause of the support crushing accidents.

Surrounding Rock Deformation

After roadway excavation, the deformation and failure of roadway surrounding rocks typically results in roadway damage or collapse. Conventional monitoring techniques, such as extensometers, stress meters, and convergence stations, are only capable to detect the stress or strain data with the shallow layers of surrounding rocks, and they require arduous manual works. Moreover, in the abovementioned monitoring techniques, the monitoring instruments are installed behind the excavation face; therefore, the strain and deformation occurring in front of excavation face cannot be detected. In order to eliminate these shortcomings, an innovative monitoring system for surrounding rock deformation control has been developed base on Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry. Compared with conventional monitoring systems, the proposed system provides a reliable, accurate, and real-time monitoring measure for roadway surrounding rock deformation control over wide extension. The optical fiber sensors are installed in boreholes which are situated ahead of the excavation face; therefore, the sensors can be protected well and the surrounding rock deformation behaviors can be studied. The proposed system has been applied within a TBM-excavated roadway in Zhangji coal mine, China. The surrounding rock deformation behaviors have been detected accurately, and the monitoring results provided essential references for surrounding rock deformation control works.

This paper analyzes the large deformation of roadway in three-soft coal seam under the influence of tectonic stress. Taking the auxiliary conveying uphill roadway in Yili No. 1 Coal Mine as the engineering background, the deformation and failure mechanism of the surrounding rock and the supporting technology were studied. First, the characteristics of stress field and the surrounding rock properties of deep mining area were investigated through geostress measurement and rock mechanical test. Then, the roadway deformation and the loose circle of the supporting structure were obtained. Based on the results from measurement and theoretical analysis, we proposed a concept, i.e., “Stress adjustment-Strengthening-Grouting-Secondary support.” A numerical model was established to analyze the stress distribution and the state of plasticity in the surrounding rock. According to the results of the geostress measurement and the numerical simulation, a combined support scheme was proposed, i.e., “Yielding bolt & Shotcreting” as the primary support and “Prestressed grouting anchor cable & U-shaped shed” as the secondary support. Finally, the underground practice showed that the proposed support scheme can effectively control the large deformation and maintain the long-term stability of the roadway in deep and three-soft coal seam. The proposed technology has guiding significance for the support design under similar mining conditions.

As for the sophisticated advanced support technique of vertical wall semicircle arch roadway in the three-soft coal seam, a design of flat top U-shape roadway section was put forward. Based on the complex function method, the surrounding rock displacement and stress distribution laws both of vertical wall semicircle arch roadway and of flat top U-shape roadway were obtained. The results showed that the displacement distribution laws in the edge of roadway surrounding rock were similar between the two different roadways and the area of plasticity proportion of flat top U-shape roadway approximately equals that of vertical wall semicircle arch roadway. Based on finite element method, the bearing behaviors of the U-type steel support under the interaction of surrounding rock in vertical wall semicircle arch roadway and flat top U-shape roadway were analyzed. The results showed that, from a mechanics perspective, U-type steel support can fulfill the requirement of surrounding rock supporting in flat top U-shape roadway and vertical wall semicircle arch roadway. The field measurement of mining roadway surrounding rock displacement in Zouzhuang coal mine working face 3204 verified the accuracy of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.

Surrounding Rock Deformation

To effectively control the large surrounding rock deformation of the mining roadway under multiple excavations and mining in Wangcun coal mine, the field investigation, numerical simulation, field test, and monitoring were conducted, and the characteristics of stress and deformation evolution of the surrounding rock under the influence of multiple excavations and mining were analyzed; then the collaborative supporting technology of high prestressed bolt and short anchor cables was proposed in this study. The results show the following: (1) under the influence of multiple excavations and mining, the peak vertical stress of the typical air-return roadway reaches 23 MPa, and the deformation increases by about 2.8 times after the mining of adjacent panel. (2) The principle of the roadway support under the influence of multiple excavations and mining in Wangcun coal mine is determined; from the perspective of prestress, we can conclude that the active support of short anchor cables is better than that of long anchor cables. (3) Based on the results of the field monitoring, the bolt stress can be divided into four stages: the loss stage of prestress, the sudden-decrease stage of the roof periodic weighting, the decrease stage of advanced support, and the rapid-increase stage of strong disturbance. Due to the large anchorage range of anchor cables, there is no decrease stage of advanced support. After the application of prestress, the bolt stress of side bolts and top bolts decreases, and the reduction amplitude is up to 30 kN. (4) As the panel advances, the deformation of the surrounding roadway increases, and the growth rate is also increasing gradually. However, the final displacement of the roof, floor, and two sides is within 18 mm. The bolt and anchor cables are not broken, and the control effect is good. The research results have a certain reference value for similar roadway control.
