Deformation and Failure Features of Surrounding Rock for Combining Mining in Steep and Close Seam

Abstract:

Being closer space among steep and close seams, there always is a mutually destructive influence on adjacent seams while mining arbitrary coal seam within the same mining section, so the scientific mining method of steep and close seam is always the difficult problem to mining workers. Urumchi coalfield developed by Shenhua Xijiang corporation is a very few mine in China and even the world, in which entirely existing and exploiting steep and close seam. There are more than 30 layers of steep seams with different thickness and different distance. Aiming to the steep and close seams in Jiangou coalmine of urumchi mine, the combining mining methods with different mining approaches and different advancing distances were numerically simulated using 2-D and 3-D Finite Element Method, the deformation and failure features of surrounding rock were studied, and then the scientific of combining mine in steep and close seam was investigated.
