The stress change law of a collapse column and the failure depth of a coal seam floor before and after mining when the fully mechanized coal mining face passes through the collapse column are investigated. Here, we present the constructed program in FISH language, render the damage variable in FLAC3D to establish the numerical model, and complete the numerical calculation. The 10–115 working faces that pass the collapse column at a coal mine in Tuanbai are identified as the research object. The floor failure is numerically simulated to assess the damage. The following results were obtained: the failure depth of the full floor is stabilized at 14.6 m; the maximum failure depth of the floor near the collapse column is 18.2 m; and the stress concentration coefficient is 1.27 times greater than that of normal mining. The calculated depth failure of the floor of the working face without structural defects is 14.6–14.7 m based on the Hoek–Brown criterion. With the collapse column, the failure depth of the floor is 16.8–17.8 m. According to the water injection test, the maximum failure depth of the floor is 18 m. The three derived values agree well with one another.

Aiming at the problem of the safety mining problems of longwall paste filling working face under buildings on high confined water in the Daizhuang Coal Mine, the paste filling mining method was used. A series of theoretical analyses, numerical simulations, and field measurements were applied. The results showed that when the filling interval of the working face increases from 1.2 m to 3.6 m, no significant change is found in the depth of the perforated plastic zone of the floor strata. According to the types of water-conducting cracks in the floor strata of the working face 11607, the floor strata are divided into the floor intact area, the structure developed area, and the floor weak area. Based on that, the measures for preventing and controlling the floor failure in the paste filling working face are proposed. Furthermore, the failure depth of the floor of the test working face was detected by the on-site water injection method, and the results showed that the maximum failure depth of the floor of the test working face was about 3 m.

The old mining area in Pingdingshan coalfield has the following problems: long mining service life, many remaining coal pillars, and great difficulty in mining; to extend the service life of the mine, realize cost saving and efficiency increasing, it is urgent to recover the remaining coal pillars, but the mining of isolated island face faces the problem of reasonable retention of waterproof coal pillars, if the protection is not good, it is easy to cause mine water damage and increase the mining cost. Therefore, in view of the practical engineering problems faced by the field, aiming at eliminating or reducing the goaf water disaster, this paper adopts numerical simulation research methods to optimize the original design scheme and carry out comparative analysis, dynamically reappear the surrounding rock stress field, displacement field and plastic failure law under multi face mining and roadway mining, and carry out engineering practice application. The results show that there is a certain thickness of elastic core area before and after mining with 25m coal pillar width. The deformation of surrounding rock is small, which is conducive to roadway maintenance, without obvious stress concentration. It can meet the actual needs of the project. The mining face has achieved safe mining, without water inrush accident in the goaf, and the coal resources have been recovered to the maximum extent. The research results are left over to similar mining areas in China The safe recovery of coal pillar can be used for reference.

Water inrush disasters are extremely prone to occur if the coal seam floor contains a confined aquifer. To find out the failure behavior of coal seam floor of paste filling working face, a beam-based theoretical model for the floor aquifuge was built, and then, the water inrush risk was evaluated based on the thickness of floor aquifuge. Next, the floor failure characteristics of the paste filling face was numerically studied and the effects of the filling interval and long-term strength of the filling body on the floor failure depth, stress and displacement distributions, and plastic zone were explored. The results showed that the theoretical model for evaluating the safety of the floor of the paste filling face based on the empty roof distance is proved to be consistent with that of the empirical formula judged based on the assumption that the paste filling working face was regarded as a cut hole with a certain width. The filling interval has a significant effect on the stress concentration of the surrounding rock, failure depth of floor, and roof-floor convergence. The smaller the filling interval is, the smaller their values are. When the filling rate is 98%, the long-term strength of the filling body is 5 MPa, and the floor failure depth is not more than 4 m. In contrast, the strength of the filling body has no obvious influence on the floor failure depth, but it has a certain impact on the roof-floor convergence. From the perspective of reducing floor failure depth, there is no need to increase the long-term strength of backfill, but it is necessary to increase the early strength of backfill so as to reduce the width of the equivalent roadway.

To study the mining-induced failure depth of floor rocks in a fully mechanized mining caving field affected by different coal seam pitches, mining face lengths, burial depths and aquifer water pressures, multifactor-coupled orthogonal numerical tests on the failure depth of floor rocks were conducted. The numerical results show that the failure depth of floor rocks increases with increasing mining face length, coal seam pitch and burial depth. According to the relationship between failure depth and these impact factors, a multifactor-coupled prediction model for the failure depth of floor rocks was established. In addition, the in situ measurement of the failure depth of floor rocks in the Yitang Coal Mine in Huoxi coal field in Shanxi Province, China, was performed, and the in situ failure depths of floor rocks in the 100 502 (80 m) and 100 502 (180 m) mining faces were approximately 12.50–14.65 m and 17.50–19.20 m, in good agreement with the results of the multifactor prediction model. Furthermore, the sensitivity of each impact factor in the prediction model of the floor failure depth was further analysed by F -test and range analysis, and the impact order of studied factors on the floor failure depth is coal seam pitch > mining face length > burial depth > aquifer water pressure.

Based on the condition of fully mechanized caving face in one mine, two methods of microseismic monitoring and numerical analysis were combined to study the evolution characteristics and development law of floor failure depth in extra-thick coal seam. Microseismic monitoring results show that the number of microseismic events partly reflects the influence of mining disturbance in the roof and floor rock mass. The distribution of microseismic events are intensive near the coal mining face, which show the floor rock mass is seriously damaged during the coal mining. The greatest floor failure depth estimated from mine microseismic monitoring is 31 meters. Numerical analysis indicate that the rock stress around the mine stope is redistributed during the coal mining, due to the effect of mining disturbance. The abutment pressure increases in front of the coal mining face and the stress reduces in the mined areas. The concentration and release of the stress makes contribution to the destroy of the floor rock. The maximum floor failure depth is up to 28 meters calculated from numerical simulation. The consistency of microseismic monitoring results and numerical analysis improve that it is effective and reliable to obtain floor failure depth and considerably possible to predict the water inrush using microseismic monitoring technology with its inherent ability to remotely monitor the progressive failure caused by mining. The research results have great popularization and application values for the similar mine.

Abstract In order to find out the characteristics of geological isomer exposed in the mining process of 12318 working face in Pansan Mine and grasp its influence law on subsequent coal seams mining, the isomer was firstly determined as the collapse column by means of 3D seismic, transient electromagnetic detection, SYT detection and other methods, and its development characteristics, conductivity and water enrichment were identified.Then FLAC3D numerical simulation software was used to analyze the characteristics of vertical stress and plastic failure zone in different coal seams during mining.Finally, by comparing the ultimate failure depth of floor and the thickness of waterproof layer in the process of each coal seam directly pushing through the collapse column, the risk of water inrush and the prevention are analyzed.The results show that the exposed geological isomer is characterized by weak water-rich collapse column.Under the influence of the mining of the previous coal seam and the activation of the collapse column, the subsequent coal seam is in the low stress area before mining, which increases the floor failure and causes the activation of the collapse column more easily during mining.Coal 5# and 4# can be directly pushed through the collapse column, and coal pillar of sufficient width should be left for coal 1# to prevent the collapse column from activating water inrush.

To improve the resource recovery efficiency of mining face in thick coal seams, the correlation between deformation failure of bottom coal in the gob-side entry and coal pillar width was analyzed by theoretical analysis, numerical calculation, and similar simulation experiments. The results showed that, when the coal pillar was strong, with the decrease of pillar width, the failure depth of the bottom coal in the gob-side entry and floor heave increased. The deformation failure depth of the bottom coal in the entry was inversely related to the width of the coal pillar. The bottom coal was further fractured and dispersed under the action of tension, shear, and extrusion in the process of floor heave. Based on the floor heave induced by the narrow coal pillar, a recovery technique of the bottom coal with thick coal seams in the gob-side entry was developed. The width of the narrow pillar to be reserved was obtained by theoretical calculation and revised by numerical simulation; ultimately, the reasonable width was determined. Under the complex stress of the narrow pillar, the bottom coal in the gob-side entry was fully heaved, cracked, and separated. To realize the comprehensive mechanization and resource recovery of bottom coal, a matching mining excavator loader, transfer conveyor, and retractable belt conveyor were selected to transport the crushed bottom coal in the entry. This method has been successfully applied to the return airway of working face 8407 in the No. 5 Coal Mine of Yangquan Coal Group with remarkable economic and social benefits.
