As one of the most common disasters in deep mine roadway, floor heave has caused serious obstacles to mine transportation and normal production activities. The third section winch roadway in the third mining area of Qitaihe Longhu coal mine has a serious floor heave due to the large buried depths of the roadway and the semicoal rock roadway, and the maximum floor heave is 750 mm. For the problem of floor stability, this paper establishes a mechanical model to analyze the stability of roadway floor heave by analogy with the basement heave of deep foundation pit. It provides a model reference for analyzing the problem of roadway floor heave. Aiming at the problem of roadway floor heave in Longhu coal mine, the roadway model is established by using FLAC3D, and the roadway model after support is established according to the on-site support measures. Through the analysis of the distribution of roadway plastic area, stress nephogram, and displacement field simulation results, the results show that the maximum displacement of roadway roof and floor after support is reduced by 15% and 23%, but the maximum floor heave is still 770 mm, which is close to the measured floor heave of roadway. In order to solve the problem of roadway floor heave and integrate economic factors, this paper puts forward three support optimization schemes, simulates the support effect of each scheme, and finally determines that scheme 3 is the best support optimization scheme. Compared with that under the original support, the amount of floor heave is reduced by 81%, and the final amount of floor heave is 150 mm, which can meet the requirements of roadway floor deformation. The results provide a scheme and guidance for roadway support optimization.
As a kind of non-coal pillar roadway support technique, gob-side entry retaining is of great significance to improve the production efficiency of a fully mechanized working face. However, the construction of the roadway is often subject to the surrounding rock conditions, the application is mainly concentrated in the nearly horizontal and gently inclined coal seam conditions, and the application in the steeply inclined coal seam conditions is relatively less. This paper is based on the gob-side entry retaining roadway construction of the 58# upper right 3# working face in the fifth district of Xinqiang Coal Mine, and describes the investigation in which we measured the advanced abutment stress, mining stress, and roof stress and analyzed the moving rule of roof. On this basis, in this work, we determined the filling parameters and process and investigated the filling effect from the perspective of the deformation of the filling body and the surrounding rock. The results show that the influence range of the advanced abutment stress in the working face is about 20~25 m, the stress in the upper part is intense, and stress in the middle and lower parts are relaxed. The setting load, the cycle-end resistance, and the time-weighted mean resistance at the upper end of working face along the direction of length are the largest, followed by the middle part, and the lower end is the minimum. When exploiting the steep inclined coal seam, the upper part of the working face is more active than the lower part, and the damaging range of overlaying strata is mainly in the upper part of the goaf. With this research, we established the filling mining process in steeply inclined coal seams and determined the relevant parameters. The gangue cement mortar filling can ensure the deformation of the filling body, the surrounding rock of the roadway is small in the process of roadway retention, and the stress of the filling body is also small, which ensure the successful retention of the roadway. This study verifies the possibility of repair-less exploitation and provides a reference for the popularization and application of the gob-side entry retaining technique in steep inclined coal seam.
