Papers by Keyword: Fully Mechanized Caving

Abstract: The first working face production has suspend because of the great roof water inrush in Mindongyi coal mine, which has weak roof strata and mining use the fully mechanized caving method. In order to detect the height of water-flowing fractured zone, loses of drilling fluid observation method has carried on the flied test, the results showed that while the full-mechanized caving mining thickness is 7.7 m, the height of water-flowing fractured zone is 79.78 m, and the ratio of height to thickness is 10.36, meanwhile, the numerical simulation and similar material simulation have proved the test results are correct. The study enriched the domestic research fruits of the height of water flowing fractured zone, and provided technical references for Mindongyi coal mine mining.

Abstract: It’s a technical problem of underground mining safety to determine the water conductivity height in coal roof induced by mining under the condition of fully mechanized caving. With a number of mining engineering cases, we studied complex fault zone overlying rock mass damage characteristics under the compound effect of many mining area. The results show that overlying strata deformation and failure is the results of accumulation in mining of each mining area. Therefore, whether the overlying strata water inrush in mining process will happen or not, needs to take account of water in overlying strata in old mining area. Based on the change characteristics of water conductivity height induced by mining in seven mining areas, we built regression forecasting model, and achieved the prediction of water conductivity height induced by mining in lower coal seam, so as to provide a basis for decision-making for the safety of follow-up exploration.
