Geomechanics Research with Critical Depth Prediction and Surface Subsidence Range Controlling

Abstract:

Traditional subsidence range prediction by stagger angle doesn’t adapt to production situation in deep mining, the angle is usually large. Analyze the lateral support force of the moving bulk solid in the subsidence pit based on maintaining sidewall rock stability of subsidence pit. While bulk solid thickness of subsidence pit is not less than critical bulk solid column, the active pressure and passive pressure of bulk solid prevent the scaling of sidewall rock together. By analyzing the measured data of subsidence range of Xishimen mine, the height of critic bulk solid column relates to stability of rock, sidewall angle of goaf, internal friction angle, and rock loose coefficient. In deep mining, that filling subsidence pit with waste rock can lower the critical depth and control surface subsidence range.
