Characteristics of the Deformation and Fracture of Overlaying Slopes in Roof Cutting
Source abstract
Abstract
In order to alleviate the risk of landslides on high and steep slopes during excavation, slope protection coal pillars are commonly increased at the site to maintain slope stability, which causes a considerable waste of coal. In roof cutting for pressure relief at quarries, the movement of the overburden structure is artificially regulated by blasting. However, there is a lack of theoretical research on the impact on the slope movement. In order to explore how blasting roof cutting affects the deformation and fracture of slopes, a case study of the 10101 working face of Xinyuan Coal Mine was carried out. The particle flow code numerical simulation of the mining with different heights of roof cutting was performed to analyze the impact of the height of roof cutting on the movement of overlaying rock formation, the development of slope fractures, stress distribution, collapse angle, slope deformation and fracture, etc. The research results are as follows: the overlaying rock formation can be divided into the stable zone, the rotary zone and the subsidence area by displacement; a reasonable roof-cutting height allows the cutting and crushing of the overlaying rock formation, as a result of which the movement boundary is offset to cutting line and the slope is within the stable area; at the same time, the horizontal displacement of the rock formation in the rotary zone, the collapse angle and the stress at slope bottom are reduced, which controls the deformation and failure of slope by inhibiting the development of cracks at slope bottom and reducing the rotation of the rotary zone to the goaf zone. The research results provide certain references for controlling ground sedimentation and slopes in blasting roof cutting.
