In recent years, in order to increase the coal recovery rate, the large mining height fully mechanized top-coal caving mining has been widely used because it has the advantages of both fully mechanized mining method and large mining height mining method. When this mining technology is used to exploit thick coal seam under upper goaf, the movement characteristics of the overlying strata and the bearing structure formed by the broken rock are complicated, which results in the abnormal pressure during mining, such as severe coal slabs and hydraulic supports being crushed. The key to solve these problems is to study the movement law and the structural evolution characteristics of the overlying strata during large mining height fully mechanized top-coal caving mining, and the movement characteristics of the overlying strata are all determined by the layer-position of the key stratum. UDEC models with different layer-position of the key stratum are established to investigate the influence of the key stratum position on the support working resistance during large mining height top-coal caving mining. Through comprehensive research, the source of support resistance comes from under different geological conditions was analyzed, and the formula for estimating the maximum support working resistance was deduced. In addition, in order to release the severe pressure during large mining height fully mechanized top-coal caving mining, it is recommended to use hydraulic fracturing method to weaken the key stratum in situ.

Based on the high mining height of large cutting height workface in shallow thick coal seam and the few falling waste rock in goaf, the key roof can not be supported effectively, the facture mechanical model of key roof was established. The theoretical calculation formula of key stratum fracture step and working resistance of support were obtained by using fracture mechanics. The results show that the fracture step of key roof relate to not only the mechanical character of key roof and the load of overlaying rock seam, but also the working resistance of support and horizontal pressure in key roof. The reasonable working resistance of support and the step of roof fracture were analyzed in 1-2coalmine 51104 face of a mine in Dongsheng area. The theoretical results are well agreeable with the field measured results.

The fully mechanized mining with large mining height is the main method for high yield and efficient coal mining in China. The key stratum structure (KSS) is the basis of revealing the mechanism of roof weighting and determination of support working resistance of the longwall face with large mining height (LFLMH) in the shallow coal seam. The height of the caving zone at LFLMH is large, the thick immediate roof forms the “short cantilever beam” structure commonly, and the hinge layer of the overlying key stratum will move upward to the higher position. The “high position oblique step voussoir beam” structure of single-key stratum (SKS) and “oblique step voussoir beam and voussoir beam” structure of double-key stratum (DKS) in the shallow coal seam were proposed with physical simulation and Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). The analysis of the KSS and numerical simulation reveals the mechanism of strong roof weighting at the SKS longwall face and large-small alternate periodic weighting at the DKS longwall. It is concluded that the large static load caused by the “equivalent immediate roof (EIR)” is the basic load, and the instability load of the KSS is the additional dynamic load of support. Besides, the calculation methods of the reasonable support working resistance at LFLMH were obtained and verified with engineering applications.

To ensure safe and high-efficiency mining in the coalface with large dip angle (LDA) and large mining height (LMH), it is important to study the support stability of the coalface under the corresponding conditions. This study is based on the #3up509 coalface of the Gaozhuang Coal Mine (GCM) affiliated with the Zaozhuang Mining Area (ZMA), for which the mechanical characteristics of support in the coalface with LDA and LMH are analyzed. On this basis, the mechanical models for support tilting and sliding in the coalface are developed. Then support stability along the strike of the coalface during the normal mining period (NMP) and special mining period (SMP) is analyzed. The results show that the critical support tilting resistance during the NMP is 52.2 kN, and the critical support sliding resistance is 183.75 kN, and for the SMP, the values are 2679 kN and 4425 kN, respectively. The use of a two-leg shield support, known as ZY6600-25.5/55 (its rated working resistance is 6600 kN), is investigated, which is proved reasonable for the coalface. The influencing factors of support stability along the strike include technical parameters of the support, mining geological conditions of the coalface and specific conditions during mining. Technical measures, such as installing interlock set to fasten support and adjustable lifting jack, increasing the setting load of the support, and optimizing the support displacement method, are taken to increase the overall support stability in the coalface. The initial aim for a safe and high-efficiency mining at the #3up509 coalface has been achieved through the aforementioned measures.

In the process of high-intensity and large-space mining in Shendong mining area, various surface cracks are generated on the surface, resulting in serious damage to the surface buildings and the local ecological environment. To study the influence of overlying rock movement on surface failure of near-field single key strata of near-shallow buried and large mining height working face, the relationship between overburden movement, strata pressure appearance, and surface failure at working face 52307 in Daliuta mining area was analyzed by field measurement and numerical simulation. The results show the following: (1) there is only one thick and hard key stratum in the overburden of large mining height and near-shallow buried working face. Under the condition of presplitting roof blasting, the first weighting step is still as high as 95 m, and the periodic breaking step of roof is 20–30 m. During the weighting, the working resistance of support is still close to the rated resistance. (2) The single key stratum plays an obvious role in controlling overburden movement. After the first weighting of the working face, a stepped subsidence crack appears on the surface within a short time, and the crack lags behind the working face for about 5 m. (3) During each periodic weighting process, the breaking and subsidence of key blocks are accompanied by surface cracks.

The basis of traditional ground pressure and strata control techniques is the key strata theory, wherein the position of the key stratum can easily be determined for coal seams with regular thickness and without goaf. However, in the case of mining ultrathick coal seams underneath goaf, the traditional methods used for the calculation of key stratum position need to be improved in order to account for the additional coal seam thickness and the presence of an upper goaf. This study analyzed the failure height and collapse characteristics of overlying strata during excavation for determining the structure of the failed overlying strata. The results indicate that the intercalation and overlying strata gradually evolve into a large “arch structure” and a small “arch structure” during longwall mining, respectively. A mechanical model of the bearing characteristics of the interlayer key strata structure was established according to the structure of the intercalation rock layer, which is a hinged block structure. The results of the model indicate that the maximum principal stress occurs when the key strata portion of the arch structure bears the overlying load. Consequently, the movement and position of the interlayer key strata can be evaluated throughout the mining process of the ultrathick coal seams underneath goaf. This method was used to determine the position of interlayer key stratum of overlying strata in Xiegou coal mine. And the results agree with that of the engineering practice. The results are significant to determine the key strata position during ultrathick coal seam underneath goaf longwall mining.

The gob-side roadway of 130205, a large-mining-height working face in the Yangchangwan coal mine, was investigated in terms of the mine pressure law and support technology for large mining heights and narrow coal pillars for mining roadways. The research included field investigations, theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, field tests, and other methods. This paper analyzes the form of movement for overlying rock structure in a gob-side entry with a large mining height and summarizes the stress state and deformation failure characteristics of the surrounding rock. The failure mechanism of the surrounding rock of the gob-side roadway and controllable engineering factors causing deformation were analyzed. FLAC3D numerical simulation software was used to explore the influence law of coal pillar width, working face mining height, and mining intensity on the stability of the surrounding rock of the gob-side roadway. Ensuring the integrity of the coal pillar, improving the coordination of the system, and using asymmetric support structures as the core support concept are proposed. A reasonably designed support scheme for the gob-side roadway of the working face for 130205 was conducted, and a desirable engineering effect was obtained through field practice verification.
