The Zhaogu No. 2 coal mine is a single thick coal seam mining mine with high gas content. Due to the lack of protective layer mining conditions, we can only arrange the floor gas extraction roadway (FGER) to extract the gas from the overlying coal seam of the FGER to ensure safe production. However, improper placement of FGER will cause water inrush from the floor of FGER. Given above contradictions, this paper analyzes the stress-strain relationship of the fractured rock mass in the caving zone and the stress-recovery characteristics of the goaf from the perspective of the structural characteristics of the overlying strata above goaf. Based on this, a FLAC3D numerical model of equivalent delayed filling of caving rock mass was established by using the double-yield model filling method. The distribution of floor stress under the influence of mining is obtained after the model calculation, i.e., with the increase of the distance from the floor, the ratio of bidirectional stress to the peak value, and the stability value decrease, but the decrease amplitude becomes smaller and smaller. Therefore, floor roadway used for gas extraction should be located 10-15 m below the floor. Combined with the distribution of floor strata in 11060 working face, it is finally determined that FGER should be located 13 m below the floor. Such arrangement of FGER can not only ensure the effect of gas drainage but also prevent the occurrence of water inrush from floor.

The water inrush of a working face is the main hidden danger to the safe mining of underwater coal seams. It is known that the development of water-flowing fractured zones in overlying strata is the basic path which causes water inrushes in working faces. In the engineering background of the underwater mining in the Longkou Mining Area, the analysis model and judgment method of crack propagation were created on the basis of the Mohr–Coulomb criterion. Fish language was used to couple the extension model into the FLAC3d software, in order to simulate the mining process of the underwater coal seam, as well as to analyze the initiation evolutionary characteristics and seepage laws of the fractured zones in the overlying strata during the advancing processes of the working face. The results showed that, during the coal seam mining process, the mining fractured zones which had been caused by the compression-shear and tension-shear were mainly concentrated in the overlying strata of the working face. Also, the open-off cut and mining working face were the key sections of the water inrush in the rock mass. The condition of the water disaster was the formation of a water inrush channel. The possible water inrush channels in underwater coal mining are mainly composed of water-flowing fractured zones which are formed during the excavation processes. The numerical simulation results were validated through the practical engineering of field observations on the height of water-flowing fractured zone, which displayed a favorable adaptability.

Identifying the rock mass structure is crucial for disaster control and safe mining.In the south tunneling lane of the original +600 level, using detection method of GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar ) to implement the sophisticated detection of failure characteristics, groundwater and rock structure of the upper goaf. It determines the goaf structure parameters and water conditions through the comparative analysis of the information image. The result shows: there is no large goaf, the coal seam is broken seriously in part section and water is rich in the detection range (200m) from 2650 to 2850. The coal is hypostatic and whole in the section above 20m. It has a great significance to the safety of deep mining design and the prevention for disasters of the steep thick coal seam.

The water burst of roof on working face has been one of the significant geotechnical engineering problems that needs to be urgently resolved. The coupling effects of seepage and damage on the amount and intensity of water inrush from the roof are critically important. In this paper, the seepage-damage coupling mathematical model of the aquifer in the working face is studied, and the seepage-damage coupling mechanics model at different stages of the aquifer is established. Under the coupling of permeability and damage, the water-soil characteristics of the aquifer in the 101163 working face of Mindong were numerically simulated by establishing the constitutive relation between vertical stress and permeability coefficient. The numerical results show that the stress concentration factor of the mining stress field gradually increases with the coal seam mining. The water-flowing fractured zone of the overburden is close to the communication of the quaternary aquifer. When the coal seam is excavated 250–300 m. Three free surfaces appear in the groundwater pressure field, and a large falling funnel is formed to establish a deep flow S-well well flow model. The research on the mining stress field and seepage field is carried out in combination with the Jakob formula. It is found that two sectors with reduced permeability of the fan surface are formed in front of the work. The variation law of the apocalyptic permeability infiltration under different mining distances, different coal seam thicknesses, different water pressures, and different roof management modes is studied systematically. The research indicates that the seepage flow under the condition of seepage infiltration of the lower aquifer should be between 50% and 100% of the traditional calculation method. The research results can help to deepen the understanding of the process of water inrush under the coupling of stress and seepage.

Soft Coal Seam

The efficiency of gas extraction from the soft coal seam with ultralow permeability is low. Gas extraction with large-diameter borehole is proposed to deplete gas content for preventing gas outburst disaster in this study. The fractures around the large borehole will enhance the permeability in the damage area to promote gas extraction. We established a damage-stress-seepage coupling model for large-diameter borehole gas extraction in soft coal seam. This mathematical model contains governing equations of gases sorption and transport, coal deformation, and damage, reflecting the coupling responses between gas and coal seam. The model is solved by the finite element method to simulate the gas drainage large-diameter borehole through roadway. Distributions of elastic modulus, damage area, and maximum principal stress in soft coal seam with different borehole diameters including 94 mm, 133 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm are analyzed. The gas pressure, gas content, and effective extraction area in soft coal seam are discussed. Results show that the shear failure zone appears around the large-diameter borehole, and its permeability rises sharply. This opens up the gas transport channel and is conducive to the rapid extraction. It is confirmed that gas extraction using large-diameter borehole (300 mm) can greatly improve the efficiency of the gas preextraction in soft coal seam by increasing gas extraction rate. These provide a foundation for guiding the operation of gas extraction with large borehole from the soft coal seam in the field.

Interbedded strata and their collapse are vital to mining pressure control for extremely thick coal seam under goaf. To ensure the stability of the support and to avoid roof collapse, some traditional underground pressure theoretical models had been widely used in the control of surrounding rock and the selection of support. However, one of the challenges for extremely thick coal seam under goaf is that the abnormal disasters, such as support crushing and water inrush that were occurring frequently. To solve this problem, the movement characteristics of overburden rocks during the mining of extremely thick coal seam under the conditions of the interlayer thickness of 5 m and 40 m were studied by using the similar simulation experiments, while the numerical simulation experiments were carried out for the interval between coal seams of 15 m and 60 m, respectively. Finally, the structure and mechanical transfer mechanism of overburden in stope under different thickness interbedded strata were analyzed dynamically, and the condition of full-thickness connection between upper goaf and lower goaf and corresponding judgment criteria are obtained. These results can guide future research on the mechanical of extremely thick coal seam under goaf, which can provide a theoretical basis and engineering reference for similar projects.
