Drainage Borehole

The sealing depth of a gas-drainage borehole is critically important as it directly affects the efficiency of the whole drainage system. In order to determine the shortest reasonable sealing depth, in this paper, a theoretical drainage model using different sealing depths was proposed. Based on theoretical analysis presented, two parts of the fractures system surrounding the drainage borehole were proposed, i.e. the fractures induced by roadway excavation and the fractures induced by borehole drilling. A series of geological in-situ tests and simulations research were conducted to determine the stress and fracture distributions in the surrounding rock of the borehole. The depths of crushing zones, plastic zones and stress concentration zones were determined as 5 m, 2 m and 12 m, respectively. Meanwhile, stress simulation shows that the depth of the stress concentration zone was 12 m from the roadway wall and the stress peak was located at the depth of 8 m, which can be verified by the results of drilling penetration velocity analysis. To determine the optimum sealing depth, gas drainage holes with different sealing depths were drilled in the field. The field results revealed that the crushing zones were the main area for air leakage, and the stress concentration induced by roadway excavation assisted in the reduction of air leakage. Therefore, the optimized sealing depth should both cover the plastic zone and the stress concentration zone. The research achievements can provide a quantitative method for the determination of optimum sealing depth in cross-measure drainage boreholes.

Sample Disturbance

This paper critically compares the use of laboratory tests against in situ tests combined with numerical seepage modeling to determine the hydraulic conductivity of natural soil deposits. Laboratory determination of hydraulic conductivity used the constant head permeability and oedometer tests on undisturbed Shelby tube and block soil samples. The auger hole method and Guelph permeameter tests were performed in the field. Groundwater table elevations in natural soil deposits with different hydraulic conductivity values were predicted using finite element seepage modeling and compared with field measurements to assess the various test results. Hydraulic conductivity values obtained by the auger hole method provide predictions that best match the groundwater table’s observed location at the field site. This observation indicates that hydraulic conductivity determined by the in situ test represents the actual conditions in the field better than that determined in a laboratory setting. The differences between the laboratory and in situ hydraulic conductivity values can be attributed to factors such as sample disturbance, soil anisotropy, fissures and cracks, and soil structure in addition to the conceptual and procedural differences in testing methods and effects of sample size.

Roadway Deformation

It can be concluded that two abreast near ways were suffered disturbed effects by one another in the cause of one’s excavation by studying the disturbed effects between JI17-22300 air way and machine way of JI16-22320 working face in the course of excavation ofJI17-22300 air way in Pingmei Shares Shikuang. We found three kinds of phenomenons. Firstly, the biggest deformation was the floor. Secondly, the stress concentration zone was10m-20m in front of the head of the roadway and floor drum violent activities for a period of 6-7 days. Lastly, stress appeared on two walls earlier of that of roof and floor stress appearance, namely wall deformation happened in distance of head-on20m, wall deformation amount begins to tend stable convergence after50~60 meters of roadway, those were happened in the roadways which were 450m depth, 11m span and at the drivage speed of 10m/d.

Stress Strain State

During operation of transport and maneuverable gas-turbine units, there are crack formation in turbine disc rims what exerted by thermomechanical cycling loads. For in-depth study of these problems we have to use theories of plasticity and creep which form the basis for determining the complex stress-strain state in the stress concentration zone for disc rims, and a modern failure criterion which can predict lifetime under conditions of simultaneous plastic and creep strain accumulation. There is a finite-element method (FEM) that allows us to evaluate the stress-strain state in a stress concentration zone for a non-elastic material behavior. With plasticity and creep theories, it is possible to determine local strain quiet reliable by FEM.
