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.

Aiming at the serious problems caused by coal mine mining activities causing the rock burst accidents, this paper is based on rock mechanics and material mechanics to establish the key layer breaking by the double-key layer beam breaking structural mechanics model of a single working face and double working face under repeated mining. The theoretical calculation formula of the angle was used as the theoretical basis for the elevation angle of the pre-reloading hole of the hard roof. The rationality and reliability of the formula were verified by the physical similarity simulation experiment and the 3 Dimension Distinct Element Code numerical simulation experiment, revealing the rock formation under the influence of repeated mining. The results show that the derived key layer breaking angle formula is suitable for the theoretical calculation of the breaking angle of the key layer of a single coal seam when the repeated disturbance coefficient is λ = 1; when it is λ = 2, it is suitable for the repeated mining of the short-distance double-coal mining. The rationality and reliability of the theoretical formula of the breaking angle of the double key layer of single coal seam and double coal seam were verified by the physical similarity simulation experiment. Through the 3DEC numerical simulation results and theoretical calculation results, the W1123 working face hard top pre-cracking pressure relief drilling elevation angle was 78°. The drilling peeping method was used to verify the results. The results show that the theoretical formula of the critical layer breaking angle is well applied in engineering practice.

Abstract The coal column undergoes three types of force evolution from the formation to the end of mining. This paper takes large mining height working face at No.2 Coal Mine as example to study the ways to avoid dynamic instability of the coal column triggered by the deep mining. By means of geological survey, theoretical analysis, numerical calculation and field verification, the load processes under the three stress stage are proposed, and the evolution law of the coal column is analyzed. The study shows that the depth, large mining height working face, coal pillar force and size altogether determine the damage characteristics of the coal pillar. With the combination of Flac3D and 3DEC, it can be analyzed that the plastic failure and displacement characteristics of the 35m coal column under the action of secondary dynamic load coincide. The perturbation stress distribution is stable, which finally determines the reasonable width of the 35m coal column. Field measurements show that the top and gang of the 35m coal column undergo three kinds of displacement characteristics. The lower part is more stable. The top plate of the upper and lower corner completely collapsed in the emptying area, which can play a good supporting role.

To investigate the deformation characteristics of protected coal seams, the numerical simulation of the mining of an upper protective coal seam was carried out in the present study. Based on the basic definition of strain, a method for the extraction of the strain data of the protected coal seam was proposed, and the strain distribution characteristics were obtained. It was found that the x -direction strain is mainly distributed near the coal pillars on both sides and inside the goaf, the y -direction strain is mainly distributed at the working face, the initial mining line, and inside the goaf, and the z -direction strain is mainly distributed at the working face, the initial mining line, the coal pillars on both sides, and inside the goaf. The distribution characteristics and the value of volumetric strain were found to be basically consistent with the z -direction strain. As the working face advances, the protected coal seam undergoes compression and damage expansion in turn. The turning point between compression and damage expansion is approximately 15 m in front of the working face. The variation law of gas drainage in the boreholes of the protected coal seam is closely related to the distribution characteristics of volumetric strain. The results of this research are of great significance for the comprehensive investigation of the effects of pressure relief and the permeability enhancement of protective coal seam mining.

Abstract Detecting the development height of water flowing fractured zone in the roof of coal seam is of great significance for the roof safety of working face with developed sandstone and thick loose layer. This paper analyzes the influence of the induced polarization effect of electrode on the traditional single-mode parallel electrical method. In order to avoid this interference, the dual-mode parallel electrical method is applied to monitor the roof deformation and failure of a coal mine in Ordos Basin. The monitoring results show that: under the influence of mining, the change of geoelectric field of coal seam roof is dynamic, the apparent resistivity of initial mining fracture is high, the apparent resistivity of surrounding rock water filling mining fracture is low, and the apparent resistivity of fracture water flowing to goaf is high again. According to the characteristics of geoelectric field, the maximum height of water flowing fracture zone is 122 M; The average mining coal thickness of the working face is 11 m, and the fracture / mining thickness ratio is 11.1. The results of plastic zone show that the maximum height of water flowing fractured zone above the working face is 122 m, which is consistent with the test results. The vertical stress response characteristics of roof monitoring points are zonal. Under the influence of mining, the loose layer near the surface above the working face is cracked. The edge type ground fissures exist for a long time, and there are a series of geological problems such as soil erosion, ground subsidence.

Longwall pier-column backfilling is a partial backfilling technique initially designed in thin coal seam mines. With the increase of mining intensity, the mining height and width of the backfilling working face will also increase. It is necessary to analyze how changes in working face dimensions influence the control effect of overburden subsidence in pier-column backfilling. In this study, a mining model with a combination of 25 conditions (five different mining heights (1~3 m) × five different mining widths (80~240 m)) was designed using a FLAC3D(Vision 5.0) numerical simulation. The simulation was used to analyze the control effect of overburden subsidence with varying mining heights and widths. In addition, according to the field working face conditions, two physical similarity models were performed to explore the overburden subsidence law in pier-column backfilling with different mining heights and widths. It was observed from the above study that mining heights and widths will have a different influence on the overburden subsidence in longwall pier-column backfilling. The result of this study provides strong theoretical support for evaluating the control effect of overburden subsidence in longwall pier-column backfilling.

Coalbed water injection is the most basic and effective dust-proof technology in the coal mining face. To understand the influence of coalbed water injection process parameters and coalbed characteristic parameters on coal wetting radius, this paper uses Fluent computational fluid dynamics software to systematically study the seepage process of coalbed water injection under different process parameters and coalbed characteristic parameters, calculation results of which are applied to engineering practice. The results show that the numerical simulation can help to predict the wetness range of coalbed water injection, and the results can provide guidance for the onsite design of coalbed water injection process parameters. The effect of dust reduction applied to onsite coalbed water injection is significant, with the average dust reduction rates during coal cutting and support moving being 67.85% and 46.07%, respectively, which effectively reduces the dust concentration on the working face and improves the working environment.
