In order to study the dynamic characteristics and microseismic distribution in the mining process of roadway with high gas and wide coal pillar, combined with the two dynamic events of N2105 working face in Yuwu Coal Industry, theoretical analysis and field measurement research were carried out. According to the theory of structural mechanics and geomechanics, the causes of dynamic appearance are analyzed. Combined with the specific situation, the influence of mining depth, coal pillar width, gas pressure, and content on the dynamic performance is analyzed. Stress monitoring and microseismic monitoring are carried out on one side of coal seam. The results show that, with the increase of the mining distance, the backside roof of the goaf is prone to unbalanced fracture due to the lack of lateral stress, and the impact pressure generated is used for the reserved protective coal pillar behind the goaf, causing the floor heave of coal seam. The combined stress generated by the anticlinal structure below the working face interacts with the abutment pressure of the working face to produce superposition effect, which promotes the occurrence of dynamic appearance. The critical depth of rock burst in Yuwu Coal Industry is about 600m. The increase of coal elastic energy caused by roof subsidence is more uniform with the increase of coal pillar width. The decrease of gas pressure in coal seam promotes the rock burst disaster. The vertical stress of coal seam at one side of the working face shows different evolution characteristics along the trend and strike. The vertical stress of coal seam in the lateral range of 53 m is adjusted to different degrees and tends to be stable until 300 m behind the working face. The active microseismic area in the middle of the working face was located 50 m in front of the working face, and the microseismic activity continued to 30–50 m behind the working face. The active microseismic area at the side of the roadway was located 30 m in front of the working face, and the microseismic activity continued to 100–180 m behind the working face. The inflection point, where the stress in the elastic area of coal pillar increases sharply, corresponds to the active microseismic area, which indicates that the dynamic characteristics in the mining process of roadway with high gas and wide coal pillar are related to the distribution law of microseismic. This study has a certain guiding significance for optimizing the width of reserved coal pillar, monitoring the coal seam stress/microseismic, and understanding the dynamic disaster of coal and rock under complex conditions.

A case study based on the 401103 fully mechanized caving face in the Hujiahe Coal Mine was carried out in this research to analyze the rock burst risks in a 54 m-wide coal pillar for roadway protection. Influencing factors of rock burst risks on the working face were analyzed. Stress distribution characteristics on the working face of the wide coal pillar for roadway protection were discussed using FLAC3D numerical simulation software. Spatial distribution characteristics of historical impact events on the working face were also investigated using the microseismic monitoring method. Results show that mining depth, geological structure, outburst proneness of coal strata, roof strata structure, adjacent mining area, and mining influence of the current working face are the main influencing factors of rock burst on the working face. Owing to the collaborative effects of front abutment pressure of the working face and lateral abutment pressure in the goaf, the coal pillar is in the ultimate equilibrium state and microseismic events mainly concentrate in places surrounding the coal pillars. Hence, wide coal pillars become the regions with rock burst risks on the working face. The working face adopts some local prevention technologies, such as pressure relief through presplitting blasting in roof, pressure relief through large-diameter pores in coal seam, coal seam water injection, pressure relief through large-diameter pores at bottom corners, and pressure relief through blasting at bottom corners. Moreover, some regional prevention technologies were proposed for narrow coal pillar for roadway protection, including gob-side entry, layer mining, and fully mechanized top-coal caving face with premining top layer.

In order to study the influence of advancing speed and stoping time of a coal face on the scale and frequency of rock burst, the energy release characteristics of an overburden fracture under six advancing speeds and four stoping times are studied by theoretical analysis and similar simulation experiments. The distribution characteristics of microseismic events before and after stoppage are compared, and the load/unload response ratio is introduced to analyze the relationship between the synergistic effect of advancing speed and stoping time and the characteristics of microseismic events in coal and rock mass. The mechanism of rock burst induced by the advancing speed and stoping time effect in the working face is studied, and the coordinated regulation and mitigation of advancing speed and stoping time are analyzed and completed. The results show that the effect of advancement speed and stoping time is very important to the energy release of overburden. The energy released by microseismic events during stoping is exponentially related to the advancing speed. The change of advancing speed causes the change of microseismic event characteristics, reflecting the evolution process of overburden structure and its energy. During stoping, the secondary microseismic events disturbed by mining occur frequently, leading to the significant difference of energy released by microseismic events during stoping. After stoping, the microseismic energy is more than four times higher than that during the stop period, and the risk of coal seam impact is high during the stope period. The synergetic change of advancement speed and stoping time changes the cycle of energy accumulation and release. The response ratio of loading and unloading considering the effect of advancement speed and stoping time is established by using the corresponding ratio of loading and unloading, and the impact risk of the coal seam is quantitatively analyzed. Based on the monitoring and analysis of microseismic events, the safety mining index of coordinated control with the energy of a single microseismic event of 180 J is established, and the best advancing speed of the working face is determined to be 4 m/d. According to the corresponding ratio of loading and unloading, the reasonable stoping time of different advancing speeds and the corresponding advancing speed of different stoping times after the resumption of mining are determined, so as to provide a reference for the safe and efficient mining of similar rock burst mines.

AbstractA study of the deformation of the surrounding rock and coal pillars near a fault under the influence of mining is conducted on a physical model for the design of coal pillars to support and maintain the roofs of adjacent fault roadways. This research is based on the 15101 mining face in the Baiyangling Coal Mine, Shanxi, China, and uses simulation tests similar to digital speckle test technology to analyse the displacement, strain and vertical stress fields of surrounding rocks near faults to determine the influence of the coal pillar width. The results are as follows. The surrounding rock of the roadway roof fails to form a balance hinge for the massive rock mass. The vertical displacement, vertical strain and other deformation of the surrounding rock near the fault increase steeply as the coal pillar width decreases. The steep increase in deformation corresponds to a coal pillar width of 10 m. When the coal pillar width is 7.5 m, the pressure on the surrounding rock near the footwall of the fault suddenly increases, while the pressure on the hanging wall near the fault increases by only 0.35 MPa. The stress of the rock mass of the hanging wall is not completely shielded by the fault, and part of the load disturbance is still transmitted to the hanging wall via friction. The width of the fault coal pillars at the 15101 working face is determined to be 7.5 m, and the monitoring data verify the rationality of the fault coal pillars.

In order to explore the mechanism of coal pillar rock burst in the overlying coal body area, taking W1123 working face of Kuangou Coal Mine as the engineering background, the full mining stage of W1123 is simulated by FLAC3D. It is found that the high stress concentration area has appeared on both sides of the coal pillar when W1123 does not start mining. With the advance of the working face, the high stress concentration area forms X-shaped overlap. There is an obvious difference in the stress state between the coal pillar under the solid coal and the coal pillar under the gob in W1123. The concrete manifestation is that the vertical stress of the coal pillar below the solid coal is greater than the vertical stress of the coal pillar below the gob. The position of the obvious increase of the stress of the coal pillar in the lower part of the solid coal is ahead of the advancing position of the working face, and the position of the obvious increase of the stress of the lower coal pillar in the gob lags behind the advancing position of the working face. At the same time, in order to accurately reflect the true stress environment of coal pillars, the author conducted a physical similarity simulation experiment in the laboratory to study the local mining process of the W1123 working face, and it is found that under the condition of extremely thick and hard roof, the roof will be formed in the gob, the mechanical model of roof hinged structurer is constructed and analyzed, and the results show that the horizontal thrust of roof structure increases with the increase of rotation angle. With the development of mining activities, the self-stable state of the high stress balance in the coal pillar is easily broken by the impact energy formed by the sudden collapse of the key strata. Therefore, the rock burst of coal pillar in the overlying coal body area is the result of both static load and dynamic load. In view of the actual situation of the Kuangou Coal Mine, the treatment measures of rock burst are put forward from the point of view of the coal body and rock mass.

Ground surface in Yonglong coal mine is hilly terrain. There is a Yinshigou reservoir on minefield. Deep coal seam mining under the reservoir has an influence on the deformation of oversize normal fault, and can cause severe mine water-inrush. Using numerical simulation software UDEC, the paper studied the characteristics of plastic zone and stress field in front of coal face in the hanging wall of the fault, while the coal face advance distances from setting-up room to coal face line were different. The results showed that while the distance from coal face to the fault i. e. the width of fault-protected pillar, was 80 m, the front abutment pressure had less influence on two sides rock mass of the fault, the fault reduced the vertical stress of its surrounding rocks; The surrounding rocks in the vicinity of fault were in a same vertical displacement contour, whose displacement was very smaller. Reasonable fault-protected pillar width of the numerical study was much closer to the average water-proof coal pillar width based on coal mines water prevention regulations of China. Consequently, while the width of fault-protected pillar is more than 80 m, coal seam mining in hanging wall of fault has no influence on the fault, and coal seam safely mining under the reservoir could be carried out.

Abstract Setting reasonable coal pillar is a key to ensure safe mining of island coal face heading goaf in deep mine. With determination of reasonable width of coal pillars of non-equal width isolated working face 3201 in worked-out area in one mine in Shandong as the engineering background, a research was conducted on the mechanism of rock burst induced by and the reasonable width of coal pillars of isolated working face in worked-out area and the main conclusions are as follows: (1) the coal pillars of isolated working face 3201 in worked-out area changed from pillars with goaf on two sides→pillars with goaf on three sides→pillars with goaf on four sides, resulting in evolution of overlying strata from pre-mining static “┒-shaped” structure→“C-shaped” structure→“O-shaped” structure and corresponding spatial stress from “saddle-shaped” profile→“platform-shaped” profile→“arch-shaped” profile; (2) the rock burst was induced by coal pillars, because the high stress on coal pillars at critical state of a rock burst was greater than their comprehensive strength and induced a rock burst due to sudden instability; (3) by establishing a bearing and load model of coal pillars at critical state of a rock burst and based on the equilibrium relation, an method for estimating reasonable width of coal pillars of isolated working face in worked-out area in deep mine was derived and applied to the isolated working face 3201 in worked-out area, thus comprehensively determining that the width of coal pillars should be 130m. The field stress monitoring verified the reasonability. The research result is of great significance to prevention of rock burst induced by coal pillars of isolated working face in worked-out area in deep mine.

The condition of the coal pillars remained in the room-and-pillar gobs is complicated. The stresses loaded on the pillar floor may be transmitted and overlapped. It changes the stress environment of the lower coal seam roof, leading abnormal periodic weighting. In the procedure of coal seam 3−1 mining in the Huoluowan Coal Mine, the ground stress is high while the working face passing through the room pillars of overlying coal seam 2−2, leading to hydraulic shield being broken. In this paper, theoretical analysis, numerical calculation, and similar material simulation were used to analyse the stress environment of lower seam and the effect of coal pillars remained in close-distanced upper seam. The stress transfer model was established for the room pillars of coal seam 2−2, and the stress distribution of underlying strata was obtained based on theoretical analysis. The joint action of dynamic pressure of high stress-coal pillar with movement of overlying rock strata in the working face 3−1 under the coal pillar was revealed. The results showed that the horizontal stress and vertical stress under the large coal pillar of the room gob in coal seam 2−2 were high, being from 9.7 to 15.3 MPa. The influencing depth of vertical stress ranged from 42 m to 58 m. The influencing depth of horizontal stress ranged from 10 to 23 m. The influencing range of the shear stress was from 25 to 50 m. When the working face 3−1 was mined below the coal pillar of 20 m or 50 m, abutment pressure was relatively high. The stress concentration coefficient reached 4.44–5.00. The dynamic pressure of the working face was induced by the stress overlying of the upper and lower coal seams, instability of the inverted trapezoid rock pillar above the coal pillar, and collapsing movement of the roof. The studying results were beneficial for guiding the safety mining of the coal seam 3−1 in the Huoluowan Coal Mine.
