Floor stress distribution is the main index for evaluating the mining effect of upper protective coal seam. However, parameters currently used in theoretical analysis of mining-induced stress lack practicality. Therefore, in this article, a model for calculating floor stress during mining of upper protective coal seams was established based on the theory of elastic mechanics. Subsequently, the stress induced by the abutment pressure at any point in the five parts of the floor was derived. Moreover, the distribution characteristics of the horizontal, vertical, and shear stresses of the floor during mining of the upper protective coal seam were elaborated. The results show that with the continuous mining of the working face of the protective coal seam, the vertical stress of the floor strata experiences three stages, that is, rapid increase, abrupt stress relaxation, and gradual recovery to the in situ stress. With regard to the morphology, the floor strata recompress or expand in the vertical direction. Vertical and horizontal stress are relieved in the shallow part of the floor in the goaf behind the working face, and there is an abrupt reduction in the increase of concentration degree of vertical and horizontal stress in the floor strata in front of the working face. High shear stress occurs underneath the goaf near the working face. The isoline of the shear stress is distributed in a bubble shape and is oblique to the goaf. These research achievements can provide some theoretical basis for understanding the gas drainage during the mining of the upper protective coal seam.

AbstractThe breaking features and stress distribution of overlying strata in a steeply dipping coal seam (SDCS) differ significantly from those in a near-horizontal one. In this study, the laws governing the evolution of vertical stress release and shear stress concentration in the overlying strata of coal seams with different dip angles are derived via numerical simulation, rock mechanics tests, acoustic emissions, and field measurements. Thus, the stress-driven dynamic evolution of the overlying strata structure, in which a shear stress arch forms, is determined. Upon breaking the lower part of the overlying strata, the shear stress transfers rapidly to the upper part of the working face. The damaged zone of the overlying strata migrates upward along the dip direction of the working face. The gangue in the lower part of the working face is compacted, leading to an increase in vertical stress. As the dip angle of the coal seam increases, the overlying strata fail suddenly under the action of shear stresses. Finally, the behavioral response of the overlying strata driven by shear stresses in the longwall working face of an SDCS is identified and analyzed in detail. The present research findings reveal the laws governing the behavior of mine pressure in the working face of an SDCS, which in turn can be used to establish the respective on-site guidance.

Contrast simulation analysis under different cutting distance between top lane, cut the top lane area stress state, according to different stress state analysis of the optimal cutting top lane spacing, so as to realize the optimization of cutting top lane setting parameters.Results show that due to the inhomogeneity of rock strength, the main roof breaking are mainly shear stress play a role, as a result, the vertical stress of roof fracture need conditions may be much smaller than mine pressure strength limit.Considering cutting top lane for the larger spacing, cutting the top coal lane area of stress concentration degree is higher, easy to cause impact danger, from this aspect to consider cutting the top lane spacing should be small as far as possible, but the spacing is too small and cut the top lane roadway of quantities will increase, at the same time has the potential to cut two top lane of the superposition of stress, high impact and increase the working face danger.

Abstract This paper adopts the stress relief method to test the in-situ stress in the field to obtain the in-situ stress distribution characteristics of No. 2+3# coal seam. A three-dimensional model was established with the No. S3012 working face as the engineering background, and the measured in-situ stress values ​​were applied to the three-dimensional model, and the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of coal and rock mass around the stope during coal seam mining were studied. The specific conclusions are as follows: the three-dimensional stress distribution map in front of, behind and on both sides of the working face in the process of coal mining are obtained. As the working face goes on, the maximum value of the supporting stress formed in front of, behind and on both sides of the working face shifts to the corner, presenting a “hump-like” distribution. The stress concentration coefficient of front, back and both sides of stope increases linearly with the increase of mining size. Under the same mining size, the stress concentration coefficient in front of stope is the smallest, and the stress concentration coefficient on both sides is the largest. The three-dimensional displacement field distribution nephogram of overlying strata in the process of coal mining is obtained. With the continuous advance of the working face, the roof strata of coal seam undergo continuous dynamic subsidence process, and the roof subsidence increases continuously, showing the shape of "bowl" with sharp bottom. In the process of working face mining, the roof displacement of coal seam showed an "O" shape evolution characteristic. The three-dimensional distribution cloud map of the plastic zone of coal and rock mass in the process of working face mining was obtained, and the failure volume of the plastic zone gradually increases with the continuous progress of the working face.

Gas extraction cycle is too long in low-permeability coal seam. In order to solve the problem, the basic principle about gas drainage drilling for gas injection technology is studied to increase permeability. And the mathematical model is established. Gas is injected into the low-permeability coal seam by numerical simulation. The results indicate that the best condition is a negative pressure drainage at 26 kPa and a gas injection pressure at 0.6 MPa in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction of the injection hole. In Shanxi Daping Coal Mine 3113 working face, the field test is implemented. As a result, the test is successful. During the 14 d gas injection constantly, gas content of coal seam is reduced from 12.33 m3/t to 7.12 m3/t, greatly reducing the risk of coal and gas outburst elimination time required.

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.

In order to explore the distribution law of stress field under the mining mode of gob-side entry retaining by roof cutting without pillar (GERRCP) under goaf, based on the engineering background of 8102 and 9101 working faces in Xiashanmao coal mine, the stress field distribution of GERRCP and traditional remaining pillar was studied by means of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The simulation results showed that: (1) in the front of the working face, the vertical peak stress of non-pillar mining was smaller than that of the remaining pillar mining, and it could effectively control stress concentration in surrounding rock of the mining roadway; the trend of horizontal stress distribution of the two was the same, and the area, span and peak stress of stress the rise zone were the largest in large pillar mining and the minimum in non-pillar mining. (2) On the left side of the working face, the vertical stress presented increasing-decreasing characteristics under non-pillar mining mode and saddle-shaped distribution characteristics under the remaining pillar mining mode respectively. Among them, the peak stress was the smallest under non-pillar mining, and compared with the mining of the large pillar and small pillar, non-pillar mining decreased by 12–21% and 3–10% respectively. The position of peak stress of the former was closer to the mining roadway, indicating that the width of the plastic zone of the surrounding rock of the non-pillar mining was smaller and bearing capacity was higher. In the mining of the large and small pillar, the horizontal stress formed a high stress concentration in the pillar and 9102 working face respectively. In non-pillar mining, the horizontal stress concentration appeared in solid coal, but the concentration area was small.

Based on the big thickness, low stiffiness and other characters of No. 8 coal seam in Huaibei mining area, the moving laws of top coal seam and roof, and distribution law of ground pressure were studied under the fully mechanized top coal caving. The research methods included working resistance observation of hydraulic supports in working face, deformation observation of stope roadways and deeper base point observation in roof and top coal. The results show that, in the thick and soft coal seams, the influence coverage of mining ground pressure in fully mechanized top coal caving face is much wider than that in the working face with general mining technology, but the intensity of pressure is much lower.

Coal bump often occurs in coal mining among many working faces in mine group under the control of large geological bodies. In order to study the coal bump mechanism between adjacent working faces under the conditions of large fault and huge thick overburden conglomerate, this paper regards Yima mining area as a practical engineering background and theoretically analyzes the mechanical behavior of overlying rock in the spatial structure. Then, the deep-ground and whole-space measurement is carried out in the 13230 working face of Gengcun mine and 21121 working face of Qianqiu mine. The results show that the basic structural unit in Yima mining area is composed of two goafs, middle coal pillar, and overlying conglomerate. Under the condition of nonsynchronous mining in adjacent working faces, there is a comovement effect similar to lever’s “prying” phenomenon in thick conglomerate beam—the conglomerate strata above larger goaf side induce an overall uplift movement of the corresponding strata above smaller goaf side, and uplift length of the conglomerate strata is related to the mining length, coal pillar width, caving angle, and coal-conglomerate distance. The results of surface subsidence, microseism, and stress in the two working faces verify the conglomerate’s phenomenon of comovement effect and disturbance range and further explain the role of active movement of F16 fault and overall causes of huge thick conglomerate on the coal bump. The vertical stress of the 13230 face is relatively low at the beginning, and high horizontal stress by fault activation causes typical bump accident with the horizontal sliding of coal body. With the increasing development of 13230 face, the intensity and frequency of coal bump in horizontal direction decrease obviously, but with high proportion in vertical direction. The results provide a theoretical basis for the study on the mechanism of coal bump between two adjacent working faces under the conditions of huge thick conglomerate and large thrust fault.

According to the distribution law of the abutment pressure before and behind the working face, the calculation model of the coal floor stress was established and the distribution law of the floor stress along with the advance of face was analyzed. The results show that, in working face ahead, the vertical stress and horizontal stress have generally increased, and the vertical stress is more than horizontal stress, and floor rock strata is in compression bending state with mining influence. Then in the rear of working face, the vertical stress and horizontal stress have generally reduced to less than the original rock stress, and horizontal stress is more than vertical stress. Thus rock bottom is in reverse curving condition, and upward migration of the strata causes the floor drum. Such results can provide theoretical basis for water inrush with pressure mining and treatment of the floor drum of the working face.
