Numerical Analysis of Influencing Factors of Stability in Thick Coal Seam Mining Roadway

Abstract:

The FLAC-3D software was used to study the surrounding rock displacement and the side abutment pressure distribution laws about roadway in thick coal seam. Based on this model, through change the mining height, working face length and mining depth, the differences of roadway underground pressure characteristics were analyzed between thick coal seam working face and normal working face. The results indicate that: ①the displacement of roadway surrounding rock increases with the increase of mining depth and mining height, the closer to the coal wall the larger of the increase range of roadway displacement. ②the peak of side abutment pressure increases with the increase of mining depth and mining height, the peak district of the stress will move toward the inner department of rock body. ③ the effect of working face length on the roadway displacement and the side abutment pressure is very feeble.
