The evolution law of lateral abutment pressure under the condition of fully mechanized mining in shallow coal seam is studied using the change process of coal pillar stress in disturbed section as the research object. The results of physical simulation experiment show that, after coal mining, due to the collapse of coal seam roof, the overlying strata of key layer will disturb the section coal pillar to different degrees, and the sudden change of degrees of abutment pressure near the coal wall reaches the maximum. Affected by the energy released by the fracture of key stratum, the stress mutation area shifts to the coal wall at a deeper level and the range of plastic zone increases. From the perspective of the numerical simulation, according to the change characteristics of coal pillar abutment pressure in the mining process, the dynamic load process of complex roof strata is divided into three stages: the stage not affected by mining, the stage of dynamic load action, and the stage of static load. In the first stage, the lateral abutment pressure is only affected by the roadway mining, causing stress concentration in the coal body. The stress concentration coefficient is small, and the supporting stress is stable. In the second stage, with the advance of the working face, the coal seam load changes continuously owing to the movement of overlying rock in the goaf, and the lateral abutment pressure changes evidently under the influence of dynamic load. In the third stage, the overlying load forms stress concentration in the coal seam and continuously transfers to the coal wall at a deeper level, which increases the limit equilibrium area of coal body. During this period, the range of plastic zone still increases at a certain rate for a period of time and finally tends to be stable.

The principle of roadway layout is in the low stress zone. Roadway will be difficult to support due to the lower seam face in the close multi-seam is affected by dynamic pressure of the upper seam face mining. The distribution of abutment pressure after the upper seam face mining were analyzed,concluded that: The layout of lower seam roadway should avoid the stress concentration area of residual coal pillar; Stress concentration of the coal pillar is related with mining order, and stress concentration degree is higher in the first mining side of the coal pillar; when the upper coal seam is gob, the layout of the roadway in the lower coal seam with the pattern of homodromous alternate interior layout will be easy to support.

Multi-coal-seam mining creates surrounding rock control difficulties, because the mining of a coal face in one seam can affect coal faces in another. We examine the effects of multi-coal-seam mining on the evolution of the deviatoric stress distribution and plastic zone in the roadway surrounding rock. In particular, we use numerical simulation, theoretical calculation, drilling detection, and mine pressure observation to study the distribution and evolution characteristics of deviatoric stress on Tailgate 8709 in No. 11 coal seam in Jinhuagong mine when the N8707 and N8709 coal faces in No. 7-4 coal seam and the N8707 and N8709 coal faces in No. 11 coal seam are mined. The evolution laws of deviatoric stress and the plastic zone of roadway surrounding rock in the advance and behind sections of the coal face are studied, and a corresponding control technology is proposed. The results show that the peak value of deviatoric stress increases with the advance of the coal face, and the positions of the peak value of deviatoric stress and the plastic zone become deeper. The deflection angle of the peak stress after mining at each coal face and the characteristics of the peak zone of deviatoric stress and the plastic zone of the roadway surrounding rock under the disturbance of multi-coal-seam mining are determined. In conclusion, the damage range in the roadway roof in the solid-coal side and coal pillar is large and must be controlled. A combined support technology based on high-strength and high pretension anchor cables and truss anchor cables is proposed; long anchor cables are used to strengthen the support of the roadway roof in the solid-coal side and coal pillar. The accuracy of the calculated plastic zone range and the reliability of the combined support technology are verified through drilling detection and mine pressure observation on site. This research can provide a point of reference for roadway surrounding rock control under similar conditions.

The roof fracture is the main cause of coal mine roof accidents. To analyze the law of movement and caving of the roof rock stratum, the roof subsidence displacement, rock stratum stress, and the rock stratum movement law were analyzed by using the methods of the particle discrete element and similar material simulation test. The results show that (1) as the working face advances, regular movement and subsidence appears in the roof rock strata, and the roof subsidence curve forms a typical “U” shape. As the coal seam continues to advance, the maximum subsidence displacement remains basically constant, and the subsidence displacement curves present an asymmetric flat-bottomed distribution. (2) After the coal seam is mined, the overburden forms an arched shape force chain, and the arched strong chain is the path of the overburden transmission force. The farther away from the coal seam, the smaller the stress concentration coefficient is, but it is still in a high stress area, and the stress concentration position moves toward the middle area of the goaf. The stress concentration in front of the coal wall is the source of force that forms the abutment pressure. (3) Above the coal wall towards the goaf, a stepped fracture was formed in the roof rock stratum. The periodic fracture of the rock stratum is the main cause of the periodic weighting of the working face. Understanding the laws of rock movement and stress distribution is of great significance for guiding engineering practice and preventing the roof accidents.

The F2 fault Guo in Tianyu Coal Mine belongs to the oversize normal fault, and mining deep coal seam has an influence on the floor water-inrush. Therefore, study the reasonable width of the fault protected coal pillar is a great significance for the mine safety production. With different advance distances of coal face into the fault hangingwall, the authors, by FLAC numerical calculation, studied the characteristics of plastic zone and stress field in front of the coal face. The results show that influence zone scope of moving abutment pressure is about 70~ 80m. The fault is still in the pressure-relief area when it is in the moving abutment pressure zone. The conclusion is conducive to the stability of F2 fault Guo, to prevent the floor from water-inrush, when the reasonable coal pillar width of the fault is wider than 80m.

The Relationship

The concentration of abutment pressure acting on coal seams induced by mining is a key factor to trigger rock burst. Understanding of abutment pressure or stress concentration is fundamental in preventing and controlling rock burst. The influence on abutment pressure fluctuation caused by the inhomogeneity of coal seams needs to be considered, but it is difficult to obtain by the present usual ways such as acoustic transmission, electromagnetic wave transmission, etc. In this article, the relationship between the amount of cuttings drilled in a coal seam and stress level was analyzed by considering the effect of drilling cutting expansion, and the drilling cutting test was carried out in Xinglongzhuang Coal Mine, Shandong Energy Ltd. It is found that the amount of cuttings drilled is positively related to the degree of stress concentration in both the plastic fracture zone and elastic zone. The amount of drilling cuttings is closely related to the roof weighting. In addition, the irregular fluctuation of drilling cuttings is an approximate map of distribution of stress concentration because of the non-uniformity of cracks and other defects in the coal seam. In order to meet the need of rock burst prevention by accurate pressure relief in high-stress zones, enough boreholes are needed.

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.

Gob-side entry is an area where it is difficult to prevent and control the frequent occurrence of rock burst. Based on “Longwall Mining with Split-level Gateways” (LMSG), this paper puts forward the technology of preventing rock burst by a new gob-side entry (NCPG). The abutment pressure distribution of LMSG shows that the stress peak of solid coal is lower than the conventional panel, and the width of the limit equilibrium zone is also reduced by a small percentage. After the narrow coal pillar gob-side entry has been excavated, the peak stress in solid coal increases, and the width of the limit equilibrium zone decreases, so the practical stress concentration increases. However, the NCPG located in areas of lower stress. The peak stress in solid coal of the NCPG does not increase, but the width of the limit equilibrium zone increases, so the practical stress concentration decreases. NCPC makes the concentrated stress transfer into the deep coal body and plays the role of pressure avoidance. Compared with the narrow coal pillar gob-side entry, the NCPG reduces the energy stored in coal and rock masses and increases the energy consumption. It has significantly improved the regionality, initiative, safety, and timeliness of rock burst prevention in deep high-stress coal seam mining.

The objective of this study was to reveal the law of overburden movement and stress evolution during the mining of super-high fully mechanized mining faces. Based on the 12401 fully mechanized mining face of Shangwan Coal Mine in Shendong, this study conducted research and analysis using the methods of similarity simulation experiment, numerical simulation, and field measurement. The results showed that the maximum and minimum principal stresses in the coal seam in front of the working face are concentrated with the advance of the working face. The degree of stress concentration increases with the increase in the advancing range, and the concentration degree of the maximum principal stress and the change gradient is greater than that of the minimum principal stress. But the range of the peak lead coal wall is lower than that of the minimum principal stress of the peak lead coal wall. The phenomenon of stress recovery exists in the goaf. With the increase in the advancing range of the working face, the degree of stress recovery gradually increases, and the degree of maximum principal stress recovery is higher than that of the minimum principal stress recovery. The large fractures observed near the working face are closely related to the underground pressure, relatively large fractures appear on the surface, and the fractures become narrower near the two pathways. Only caving and fissure zones exist in the thin bedrock overburden, and the bending subsidence zone changes with the bedrock thickness. The support strength of the hydraulic support should not be less than 1.47 MPa. This research on the overburden movement and stress evolution law of a super-high fully mechanized mining face can provide theoretical guidance for the exploitation and utilization of extrathick coal seam resources. It has broad engineering prospects.

The support effectiveness of mining gateway at closed-distance seam is determined by the layout of mining gateway and the stress effect of the upper coal pillar load on the bottom seam. The stress effect is affected by the coal pillar size and the properties of the coal pillar and surrounding rocks. These factors may cause the variation of the stress concentration, which could cause the difference in the stress distribution on the bottom seam. This paper studies on the proper coal pillar size of ultra closed-distance upper and bottom coal seam in Fu Cheng coal pit and the layout of the mining gateway.

Retaining a waterproof coal pillar is the most effective water conservation method for coal seam mining close to a reservoir, and determining a reasonable width for the waterproof coal pillar has been a common problem among mining scholars for a considerably long time. In case of mining a 4−2 coal seam close to the Changjiagou Reservoir in the Zhangjiamao mine, the research methods of theoretical analysis, physical simulation using similar materials, and numerical simulation have been adopted to analyze the overburden strata mining failure features and the surface subsidence law. Additionally, the influences of the width of the coal pillar on the reservoir bank slope stability have been investigated. The results denote that a coal pillar can be divided into a mine-pressure-influenced zone, an effective waterproof zone, and a water-level-influenced zone with respect to water resistance. Furthermore, the width of the waterproof coal pillar was determined to be 107.41 m by theoretical analysis. The simulation test indicated that when the working face advanced close to the reservoir, the reservoir bank exhibited vertical downward as well as transverse abscission layer fractures and the divided topsoil slipped toward the reservoir. Subsequently, the judgment conditions required for determining the critical width of the waterproof coal pillar were proposed based on the requirements to prevent the reservoir bank slope from instability failure and the water gushing accident in goaf. The maximum width of the waterproof coal pillar when the top point on the slope surface experienced reverse horizontal displacement and several key points produced sharp vertical displacements or when the pore pressure in the coal seam roof and floor suddenly became 0 was considered to be the critical width. Furthermore, the critical width was determined to be 96 m via simulation analysis, verifying the rationality of the theoretical method. These results could provide a theoretical basis for determining the width of the waterproof coal pillar of the coal seam located close to a reservoir.
