To study the mechanical properties of argillaceous weakly cemented rock under dynamic loading, a sample reconstituted and graded loading scheme is firstly designed, and then the reorganization rock sample is used as the research object. Using a Hopkinson pressure bar test, the responses of an argillaceous weakly cemented rock mass under different reorganization loads and different impact velocities is studied, and changes in specimen shape after impact are also analyzed. The study found that with increased of the recombination load, the amplitude of the transmitted wave increases. With increasing impact velocity, the rate of the increase in the incident wave amplitude is much larger than that of the transmission wave amplitude. The dynamic stress–strain curve can be divided into a compaction stage, an approximate linear elastic stage, a microcrack growth stage and a strain softening stage. The larger the reorganization load is, the less obvious the compression stage of the stress–strain curve is, and the greater the elastic modulus is. The peak strength and elastic modulus increase with increasing strain rate before 500 s−1. When the reorganization load is increased, the deformation decreases, and its impact resistance increases. With increasing impact velocity, the deformation of the specimen increases.

In view of the serious threat of gas accumulation in the coal mine goaf and the limitations of the existing gas sealing materials, the orthogonal experiment was developed to study a new type of foamed concrete for mine gas sealing. Dry density, gas permeability, and compressive strength were studied as the material indicators according to the demands of the gas isolation material in the coal mine goaf, and the experimental results showed that foam content was the most important factor. Meanwhile, the optimum mix was selected according to the influence of foam content as well as the engineering requirement. Then two application modes of this foamed concrete for goaf gas isolation were put forward, after which the convection-diffusion model of gas was built by COMSOL Multiphysics (COMSOL Inc., Stockholm, Sweden) to reveal the mechanism of different application modes using the parameters of the new foamed concrete. Simulation results showed that this foamed concrete used as isolating material for goaf gas could significantly decrease the gas concentration in workface, which can provide a reference for similar engineering.

Drilling of large-diameter boreholes is regarded as an effective measure for rockburst prevention. By investigating the morphological characteristic and evolution of plastic zone in borehole surrounding rock, the pressure-relief mechanism of large-diameter borehole was ascertained, and the engineering application of large-diameter boreholes was assessed in the 13230 working face of Gengcun Coal Mine, Henan Province, China. The results showed that (1) the plastic zone in surrounding rock of borehole appear as circular, elliptical, and butterfly shapes, in which the maximum size of the butterfly wings of the plastic zone is several times larger than the borehole diameter; (2) under certain stress conditions, multiple large-diameter boreholes distributed in coal seam with rockburst risk lead to the generation and coalescence of large-range butterfly-shape plastic zone. They reduce the stress concentration and capacity for storing elastic energy of coal seam, thus reducing the rockburst risk of the coal seam; (3) large-diameter boreholes significantly decrease the stress concentration in front of the 13230 working face and improve the stress environment in the head entry, promoting the safe mining of the working face.
