Abstract In order to find out the characteristics of geological isomer exposed in the mining process of 12318 working face in Pansan Mine and grasp its influence law on subsequent coal seams mining, the isomer was firstly determined as the collapse column by means of 3D seismic, transient electromagnetic detection, SYT detection and other methods, and its development characteristics, conductivity and water enrichment were identified.Then FLAC3D numerical simulation software was used to analyze the characteristics of vertical stress and plastic failure zone in different coal seams during mining.Finally, by comparing the ultimate failure depth of floor and the thickness of waterproof layer in the process of each coal seam directly pushing through the collapse column, the risk of water inrush and the prevention are analyzed.The results show that the exposed geological isomer is characterized by weak water-rich collapse column.Under the influence of the mining of the previous coal seam and the activation of the collapse column, the subsequent coal seam is in the low stress area before mining, which increases the floor failure and causes the activation of the collapse column more easily during mining.Coal 5# and 4# can be directly pushed through the collapse column, and coal pillar of sufficient width should be left for coal 1# to prevent the collapse column from activating water inrush.

The primary problem needed to be solved in mining close coal seams is to understand quantitatively the floor failure depth of the upper coal seam. In this study, according to the mining and geological conditions of close coal seams (#10 and #11 coal seams) in the Second Mining Zone of Caocun Coal Mine, the mechanical model of floor failure of the upper coal seam was built. Calculation results show that the advanced abutment pressure caused by the mining of the upper coal seam, resulted in the floor failure depth with a maximum of 26.1 m, which is 2.8 times of the distance between two coal seams. On this basis, the mechanical model of the remaining protective coal pillar was established and the stress distribution status under the remaining protective coal pillar in the 10# coal seam was then theoretically analysed. Analysis results show that stress distribution under the remaining protective coal pillar was significantly heterogeneous. It was also determined that the interior staggering distance should be at least 4.6 m to arrange the gateways of the #209 island coalface in the lower coal seam. Taken into account a certain safety coefficient (1.6–1.7), as well as reducing the loss of coal resources, the reasonable interior staggering distance was finally determined as 7.5 m. Finally, a novel method using radon was initially proposed to detect the floor failure depth of the upper coal seam in mining close coal seams, which could overcome deficiencies of current research methods.

Ground surface in Yonglong coal mine is hilly terrain. There is a Yinshigou reservoir on minefield. Deep coal seam mining under the reservoir has an influence on the deformation of oversize normal fault, and can cause severe mine water-inrush. Using numerical simulation software UDEC, the paper studied the characteristics of plastic zone and stress field in front of coal face in the hanging wall of the fault, while the coal face advance distances from setting-up room to coal face line were different. The results showed that while the distance from coal face to the fault i. e. the width of fault-protected pillar, was 80 m, the front abutment pressure had less influence on two sides rock mass of the fault, the fault reduced the vertical stress of its surrounding rocks; The surrounding rocks in the vicinity of fault were in a same vertical displacement contour, whose displacement was very smaller. Reasonable fault-protected pillar width of the numerical study was much closer to the average water-proof coal pillar width based on coal mines water prevention regulations of China. Consequently, while the width of fault-protected pillar is more than 80 m, coal seam mining in hanging wall of fault has no influence on the fault, and coal seam safely mining under the reservoir could be carried out.

Water inrush disasters are extremely prone to occur if the coal seam floor contains a confined aquifer. To find out the failure behavior of coal seam floor of paste filling working face, a beam-based theoretical model for the floor aquifuge was built, and then, the water inrush risk was evaluated based on the thickness of floor aquifuge. Next, the floor failure characteristics of the paste filling face was numerically studied and the effects of the filling interval and long-term strength of the filling body on the floor failure depth, stress and displacement distributions, and plastic zone were explored. The results showed that the theoretical model for evaluating the safety of the floor of the paste filling face based on the empty roof distance is proved to be consistent with that of the empirical formula judged based on the assumption that the paste filling working face was regarded as a cut hole with a certain width. The filling interval has a significant effect on the stress concentration of the surrounding rock, failure depth of floor, and roof-floor convergence. The smaller the filling interval is, the smaller their values are. When the filling rate is 98%, the long-term strength of the filling body is 5 MPa, and the floor failure depth is not more than 4 m. In contrast, the strength of the filling body has no obvious influence on the floor failure depth, but it has a certain impact on the roof-floor convergence. From the perspective of reducing floor failure depth, there is no need to increase the long-term strength of backfill, but it is necessary to increase the early strength of backfill so as to reduce the width of the equivalent roadway.

Collapse Column

There are many karst collapse columns in coal seam roof in the southern coal field in China, which are different from those in coal seam floor in the northern coal field, due to the stratum characteristics. The karst collapse column in coal seam roof tends to reactivate and conduct water and induce the serious water inrush disaster, when the karst collapse column communicates with the overlying aquifer. In order to reveal the evolution mechanism of water-conducting channel of collapse column in karst mining area of southwest China, the aquifers and water inflow rule in 1908 working face in Qianjin coal mine are analyzed. Besides, the particle size distribution and mineral component of collapse column are researched by the X-ray diffraction test and the screening method, which are the basis for researching the water inrush mechanism in karst collapse column. On this basis, the water inrush of roof collapse column under the influence of mining is researched by establishing the numerical calculation model with the UDEC numerical software. The results show that the water flowing into the 1908 working face comes from the Changxing formation aquifer and Yulongshan formation aquifer above the coal seam, and the proportion of coarse particles and fine particles in collapse column is 89.86% and 10.14%, respectively. With the advance of working face, the water-conducting channel connected the working face with the aquifer, or the surface is formed by collapse pits, karst caves, and collapse column. The research results can be treated as an important basis for the water-preserved mining in southern coal field in China.

Hidden Fault

Hidden faults in deep coal seam floor threaten the exploitation of coal resources. Under the influence of mining and water confined in the floor, the cemented filler in the hidden fault will be eroded by water flow, in order to investigate the fracture characteristics and water inrush risk of hidden faults in floors above confined aquifer. Using the 27305 working face as geological background, the influence of the seepage scouring filler on the mechanism of water inrush from hidden faults was assessed by developing a stress-seepage coupling model and employing the finite difference method to simulate the seepage process of hidden faults under the combined action of high ground stress and high confined water. The evolution of seepage, shear stress, and plastic zone was also assessed. The influence of the hydraulic pressure of the aquifer and the thickness of a waterproof rock floor on the formation of the water inrush pathway was analyzed. Results indicate that (1) under the influence of mining, the hidden fault experienced the change process of stress stability, stress concentration, and stress release. The shear stress increases first and then decreases. The compressive stress decreases gradually due to stress release. (2) Water inrush disaster will not occur immediately when the working face is above the hidden fault. The delayed water inrush occurs in the mined-out area when the working face advances to 160 m, the floor failure zone is connected with the hidden fault failure zone, and the delayed water inrush channel is formed. (3) With the mining advances, the water pressure of aquifer is the same. The larger-angle fault leads to the thinner thickness of floor aquifer. The greater the influence of hidden fault on coal seam mining, the higher the danger of water inrush.

The Stability

The complicated geological conditions, including the Fault Sun, in East No. 2 mining sub-area of the Longdong coal mine will influence the stability of strata during mining, leading to serious geological hazards. To circumvent this issue, a similarity simulation experiment was designed and performed in this study, in which the failure characteristics and evolution of displacement and stress within the strata were investigated, and the optimum width of a waterproof coal pillar was determined. The results showed that, as the working face progressed, the coal seam roof gradually deformed, from initial caving of the immediate roof to complete movement and curved subsidence of the entire roof. Significant changes in displacement and stress within the coal seam roof were recorded, and these increased during continuous mining activity. Displacement and stress difference on either side of the fault gradually increased and reached remarkable values with increase in mining distance. On the basis of the experiment results, water inrush is believed to be caused by the interaction between mining and the fault, and, as calculated from parameters collected in field investigations, a waterproof coal pillar of 50 m width should be established to prevent Fault Sun activation, thereby reducing the risk of water inrush from neighbouring aquifers.

Overlying Strata

Extremely close coal seam groups are widely distributed in China, and the main mining method is downward mining. In the downward mining process of extremely close coal seam groups, the violent movement of overlying strata will cause the redistribution of surrounding rock stress. It not only produces stress concentration on the pillar but also causes the roof of the lower coal seam to be broken and difficulty in maintaining the mining roadway. In this study, the physical similitude modeling method and field observations were used to study the breakage and migration law of overlying strata in the downward mining of extremely close coal seams. Results show that in the process of mining upper coal seam, the first weighting step of the main roof is 37.5 m and the periodic weighting step is 12.5 m. The occurrence of strata separation is beneficial to the prediction of roof weighting. When the working face advances to 25 m, the rock stratum approximating a parallelogram of height 5 m does not collapse, and the working face is relatively dangerous. When mining the lower coal seam, the overall pressure of the working face is large, but the periodic weighting of the working face is not obvious. The first collapse step of the immediate roof is 15 m. When mining the upper and lower coal seams, the subsidence of the monitoring point increases significantly at 17.5 and 15 m, respectively. The roof collapse of the lower coal seam occurs 2.5 m ahead of that of the upper coal seam. The hydraulic value of the support, roof fall height, and sloughing depth in the entire working face reach the maximum at the coal pillar, and the extreme points at the coal pillar are relatively concentrated. This research provides some guidance for the safe and efficient mining of extremely close coal seams in the future.

The steeply dipping seam group is defined by the two or more coal seams ,a pitch between 35°~55°. Using masonry beam theory, longitudinal bending theory and “R-S-F” dynamics control theory built a lower area overburden structure mode. Analysed the stability of low position coal seam. The balance requirement and the strength of the structure which is affected by the caving rock and lower coal roof were given. It easily generates two lower position steps rock structure in inclination along working face. Regular breaking of the second structure is the main reason leads to the imbalance of the structure between upper coal pillar and upper coal mining face.The interaction among multiple coal seam panels and overburden structures is the main reason that causes the rock disaster, the unbalance of the lower area may lead to pushing accident, the imbalance of the upper area can generate shock pressure.
