Mine Pressure Manifestation Under the Coupled Disturbance of Mining Movement and Impact in Close-Range Coal Seams
Source abstract
Abstract
To address severe mine pressure disasters induced by the coupling of mining-induced dynamic stress and impact disturbance during close-distance coal seam mining, this paper takes the No. 8 and No. 9 close-distance coal seams in the 119 mining area of a coal mine in Ningxia, China, as the engineering background. Theoretical analysis and FLAC3D numerical simulation methods were adopted to systematically study the evolution of overburden structure, the manifestation law of mine pressure caused by mining disturbance, and the dynamic response mechanism of roadway surrounding rock under impact load. The findings demonstrate: ① Based on key block theory and elasticity mechanics theory, the stress transfer mechanism of the complete bearing type overburden rock in close-range coal seams was clarified. The calculation model of floor plastic zone depth and additional stress was derived, and the influence mechanism of the bearing state of interlayer rock strata on the stability of underlying coal seam roadways was revealed. ② Comparative numerical simulations of mining schemes revealed that both schemes formed a “goaf pressure relief-workface-coal pillar” load-bearing configuration with “upward subsidence and downward bulging” basin-shaped settlement. Scheme A exhibited significantly increased stress peaks and interlayer plastic zones due to repeated mining-induced stress, substantially elevating the risk of strong mine pressure manifestation and surrounding rock instability. ③ Under 8 MPa cosine impact load with a vibration frequency of 50 Hz (peak particle vibration velocity of 9.57 m/s), compared with the unsupported roadway, the bolt–cable collaborative support system reduced the peak displacement of surrounding rock by over 35% and decreased the shock wave propagation velocity by more than 40%, effectively suppressing the expansion of plastic zones and the transfer of impact energy, while significantly enhancing the impact resistance of the roadway. This study not only provides a systematic theoretical basis for close-distance coal seam mining and rock burst prevention but also offers scientific guidance and technical reference for surrounding rock control and dynamic disaster prevention of roadways in similar close-distance coal seam mining projects, which is of important engineering value for ensuring the safe and efficient mining of underground coal resources.
