Research on Theory and Technology of Floor Heave Control in Semicoal Rock Roadway: Taking Longhu Coal Mine in Qitaihe Mining Area as an Example

Abstract

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.

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Groundwater on the Relative Permeability of Coal Bodies around Gas Extraction Boreholes

“…However, numerous scholars have found that this effective stress fails to respond to changes in the pore structure within the fractured body [ 36 , 37 ]. Therefore, a correction for Terzaghi’s equation is needed in rock percolation scenarios; Biot [ 38 , 39 ] et al proposed an effective stress equation that considers the effect of the pore structure of the rock body: where α is the Biot coefficient (this is interchangeable with porosity ϕ).…”

Influence of geological structures on the occurrence of coalbed methane in Sima coal mine, China

“…CBM is gradually formed in the long-term complex geological evolution process (Wang and Du, 2020;Zhou et al, 2021), so its occurrence is affected by structural evolution, depositional environment, buried depth, roof and floor lithology, coal seam thickness, hydrogeology, and magmatic activity (Xie et al, 2018;Zou et al, 2018a;Zhang C. L. et al, 2020;Kong B. et al, 2021;Zhang C. L. et al, 2021). Tectonic evolution is the key factor controlling the generation, migration, and occurrence of CBM (Zou et al, 2018b;Zhang K. Z. et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2022).…”

Migration law of different top coal thicknesses in top coal caving

“…Similarly, China has made many top coal mining research achievements. Other researchers have also studied in this field in different ways (S Bai and H Tu, 2020;Zhou et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2020;Zhang and Zhang, 2019;Xie and Zhou, 2008) . In general, the research and application of thick coal seam mining technology in China is at the world's leading level.…”
