The propagation characteristics of blast waves and the prediction accuracy of blast vibration velocities along negative slopes are important because those can be used to guide engineering application and theoretical research. In this paper, the wave theory was applied to better understand the propagation mechanism of blast waves along negative slopes. Regression analysis was used for the Sadovsky and the CRSRI blast vibration velocity prediction models during on-site operations. The magnification of peak blast vibration velocity along a negative slope was introduced to determine the threshold altitude difference for the magnification effect to occur. Based on this parameter, the relative errors between the two prediction models were compared. The obtained results indicate that the superposition of incident and reflected blast waves on a negative slope creates the “slope effect” which locally amplifies the blast vibration velocity. The relative error of the CRSRI prediction model was as small as 17.53%, demonstrating a greater accuracy than Sadovsky’s prediction model. The magnification effect of a negative slope was observed at specific altitude differences and was more noticeable in the perpendicular direction. This paper creates a theoretical basis for studying the propagation mechanisms of blast vibration waves along negative slopes as well as predicting the blast vibration velocities.
An inclined goaf caused by storage mining is a serious risk to subgrades and pavements. In this paper, effective investigation and detection methods of goafs were discussed considering the project of the Urumqi East Ring Expressway crossing the existing goaf of Zhongxing no. 2 mine. Moreover, by theoretical analysis and a series of field comparative tests, reasonable grouting parameters and the treatment plan were obtained. By comparing the test results of the field and laboratory, the influence of groundwater on the effect of grouting was revealed to reduce the compressive strength of the consolidating objects of the slurry. The high-density resistivity method presented strong anti-interference ability and high accuracy in a depth range of less than 150 m in the investigation of the goaf. The results of the treatment showed that it is necessary to conduct research and analysis from multiple aspects to obtain the best treatment plan of a goaf and ensure the safety of a project.
To control the roof during gob-side entry retaining by roof cutting in inclined coal seams, the retained gob-side roadway is zoned based on the mechanical principle and technological process of no-pillar mining with gob-entry retention. A simplified mechanical model for surrounding rocks in different subzones was established by using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation to attain the demand for the support resistance and deformation of the roof in different subzones. According to load and deformation characteristics of the roof and mechanical characteristics of NPR cables, single props, and a sliding-type gangue-retaining structure formed by U-shaped steel inserts, the supporting systems for roadways in different subzones and the constitutive model thereof were established. On this basis, the action of the supporting system was analysed and a field test was performed. The results show that the supporting system undergoes three stages of behaviour, i.e., pressure growth, yielding under constant pressure, and stabilisation during whole entry retention. It can guarantee the collaborative deformation of the supporting systems with the roof on the premise of constant support resistance, thus satisfying the requirement for roadway protection. The roadway 150 m back from the working face is stable, and the final convergence between the roof and floor of the retained entry is 257 mm, showing a favourable entry-retention effect.
To measure and evaluate the impact of vibration on the surrounding buildings and structures during highway rock burst removal and to formulate scientific and reasonable protective technical measures, the authors used the blasting perilous rock removal project of the K2227+920–K2228+000 section of the Shaanxi G316 road as a case study. The application of frequency modulation blasting vibration damping technology adopting digital electronic detonators was investigated. The difference in vibration peak and frequency between the perforation-by-hole initiation of the detonator and the frequency modulation initiation of the digital electronic detonator is compared. The results showed that by adopting an accurate delay of digital electronic detonators and the damping scheme of adjusting the blasting vibration frequency using the electronic detonators a reduction in blasting vibration velocity can be achieved. For an unchanged blasting scale, hole mesh parameters, and explosive unit consumption, the total blasting time was adjusted in the test. Compared to the hole-by-hole initiation, the blasting vibration velocity at a pier of the G85 Baohan highway bridge located 52 m away was reduced from 0.367 cm/s to 0.229 cm/s, a decrease of 36.7%. The field test demonstrated that frequency modulation and vibration attenuation using digital detonators can reduce blasting vibrations and effectively reduce the influence of blasting construction on surrounding buildings and structures.
In order to verify the law of coal bed gas desorption and permeability under electrothermal high-temperature field, by establishing the mathematical model of gas seepage-heat-solid coupling, and taking gas drainage working face in Guizhou as an engineering example, the characteristics of the high-temperature field of coal under different heating hole temperatures are simulated. The COMSOL software is used to simulate the high-temperature field characteristics, thermal damage, and permeability of coal under different heating hole temperatures. The numerical simulation results show the following:(1) the influence trend of a high-temperature field on coal thermal damage and permeability is consistent, when the heating temperature is higher than 600°C, the thermal damage and permeability of coal seam change suddenly and increase with the increase of temperature. (2) When the temperature of a heating hole is 200-800°C, the gas permeability in the damaged area increases with the increase of temperature. When the heating temperature is greater than 600°C, the radial and axial permeability around the heating hole will increase. (3) Compared with the experimental data obtained by the existing researchers, the simulation results of coal permeability under the electric heating high-temperature field have a high consistency with the experimental results of Junrong and others.
To study the lateral deformation characteristics of coal under different confining pressures, coal compression experiments with confining pressures of 0 MPa, 3 MPa, 5 MPa, and 7 MPa were conducted under the same loading rate by using the TAW-2000 electrohydraulic servo rock mechanics experimental machine. The results of the study showed the following: at the initial stage of loading, the lateral strain of coal was about 12.22%–46.9% of the axial strain at the elastic deformation stage and 41.18%–64.96% of the axial strain at the inelastic deformation to peak stress stage. Compared with the experiment under 0 MPa confining pressure, the growth rate of the lateral strain of the coal under 3 MPa, 5 MPa, and 7 MPa confining pressures was much smaller than that of the corresponding axial strain. When the coal was damaged under different confining pressures, the lateral strain was maintained at about 0.6 × 10−2. Based on the field verification, we proposed that the lateral strain during the coal failure and the nonlinear region of the lateral axis ratio changing with time can be used as potential parameters for predicting the coal failure.
In this study, we proposed a method to solve the problems of low permeability of the outburst coal seams and gas extraction in China. We used heating cables to heat outburst coal seams and increase the gas desorption capacity of coal seams to prevent outbursts. An experimental cement tank was constructed to investigate the influence of the heating temperature, cable layout and thermal insulation conditions in the cement tank on the electrothermal high-temperature field characteristics of the outburst coal sample. The following results were obtained: The effective heating radius of the heating cable was 800 mm ≤ R < 1,000 mm. As the heating time increased, the temperature of the coal sample in the cement tank first increased rapidly and then became stabilized. The same heating time, The coal sample temperature of the cement tank in the third experimental scheme is the highest When the heating temperature was 300°C, the maximum coal sample temperature was 107°C. The stable temperature of the coal sample in the cement tank was considerably higher under thermal insulation conditions than under no-thermal insulation conditions.
