Abstract

After entering deep mining, coal mines often experience various intense dynamic load phenomena due to increasingly complex geological conditions, which can lead to secondary disasters, where it is urgent to identify their sources and analyze their disaster-causing effects. This article takes the 3310 working face in Gu Cheng Coal Mine as the engineering background, and uses theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, on-site monitoring, and other methods to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of dynamic load events during the mining period of this face. The study classifies dynamic load events based on this background into roof-type, fault-type, and coal pillar-type classes, revealing the differences in the spectra, waveforms, and disaster-causing effects of each class. The results show that the strong dynamic load events are mainly concentrated in the working face roof and fault zone areas. The first principal frequency of the three classes has an estimated boundary between 30 and 60 Hz. The waveform decay coefficients of the roof-type, coal pillar-type, and fault-type strong dynamic load events have average values of 4.53, 1.57, and 1.41, respectively. By adopting the above research methods, a theoretical basis can be provided for the source of dynamic loads, thereby achieving source-based prevention and control of rock burst.
