Research on the Bearing Characteristics of Narrow Coal Pillars in Double-Roadway Excavation Under the Influence of Full Dynamic Pressure

A narrow coal pillar in double-roadway excavation can solve the problem of working face connection and improve the resource recovery rate, but narrow coal pillars are affected by the full mining stress. Taking the 2109 double-roadway excavation of Qingwa Coal Mine as the engineering background, the roof mechanical structure model of a narrow coal pillar in a double-roadway excavation layout was established, and the bearing characteristics of different coal pillar widths under the influence of full dynamic pressure were studied. The narrow coal pillar retention width was obtained and tested through field industrial experiments. The main research results were as follows: (1) The relationship between the coal pillar bearing load and the immediate roof length was deduced, and the bearing stress of the coal pillar was divided into the steep decline stage, the transition stage, and the stabilization stage. The coal pillar within the width of the stabilization stage has a certain strength surplus capacity. (2) Under the influence of full dynamic pressure, the 5~7 m coal pillar yielded to failure, and the coal pillar of 8 m and above had a certain residual bearing capacity, compared with the first mining. After the second mining, the elastic zone in the coal pillar of each width was significantly reduced; there was no elastic grid in the coal pillar of 5 m and 6 m in width, and the grid area and proportion of the elastic zone of the coal pillars with widths of 7 m and above were very low. The optimal retention width of the narrow coal pillar was determined to be 8 m. (3) Under the influence of repeated mining, the impact of first mining on the roadway displacement of the roof and floor plate was greater, followed by the solid coal side, which had less impact on the coal pillar side. The secondary mining had a greater impact on the floor, followed by the coal pillar side and the solid coal side, which had little impact on the roadway roof. This paper also provides a significant reference for the retention of narrow coal pillars in double-roadway excavation.
