To study the impact of mining of the lower protective layer on the deformation and failure characteristics of the upper roadway, these characteristics of an 879 gas drainage roadway were studied and analyzed during the mining of the II 1051 working face of the Zhuxianzhuang coal mine using similar simulation experiments and numerical simulation methods. The results indicate that with the continuous excavation of the working face, the range of impact of the mining stress gradually spreads and exceeds the level of the roadway. At the present time, the roadway is in a mining stress-rising area. The two sides of the roadway are sheared, and the roof and floor are under tension–shear composite failure. The floor is the most gravely damaged—the depth of its damage is 2.5 m, and the depths of damage on either side and of the roof are approximately 1–2 m. During the advancing process of the working face, the deformation of the roadway increases slowly at first, then increases sharply, and tends to be stable thereafter. The deformation of the floor is the largest, followed by those of the two sides and the roof; the values are 800, 400, and 300 mm, respectively.

In order to study the stress distribution and its dynamic influence law while the protective layer mining, based on the transfer law of mining-induced stress in the coal seam floor and in front of the working face, using numerical simulation software to simulate the surrounding rock stress under the different pillar width mining conditions, and carried through the roadway deformation engineering practice observations. It is shown that reserved 110m coal pillar could weaken the impact on the front of the floor tunnel under the protective layer mining process. When the top liberated layer mining to reduce the impact of mining stress superposition, it should avoid the terminal lines on the two coal seams at the same location and may be staggered at least about 30m ~ 50m. And it obtained that the roadway deformation not only by mining impact, but also considering the geological environment surrounding rock conditions, tunnel position in which layers of rock, rock properties and other factors. The research guided the engineering practice successfully.

Roadway floor rock burst is an important manifestation of rock bursts in deeply buried mines. With the increase of mining depth and mining intensity, rock burst disasters in the roadway floor such as floor heaves are becoming more serious. The article investigated the roadway floor severe heave caused by floor rock burst during excavation of the No. 3401 working face, which was controlled by an anticlinal structure and deep mining in Shandong Mine, China. Firstly, by analyzing geological conditions of the working face, roadway support parameters, and characteristics of coal and rock, it was revealed that high tectonic stress and high crustal stress were main causes of the floor rock burst. Secondly, based on the Theory of Mechanics and Theory of Energy, the energy conversion process in the roadway floor was discussed, and the rock burst condition caused by elastic energy in the roadway floor was analyzed. The failure characteristics of roadway-surrounding rock were also inspected, using a borehole recorder. The roof and sidewalls of roadway mainly contained fissures and cracks, whereas cracks and broken areas are distributed in the roadway floor. Finally, based on the deformation and failure characteristics of roadway-surrounding rock, a method termed “overbreaking-bolting and grouting-backfill” was proposed to control roadway floor rock burst. The method was tested in the field, and the results showed that it could effectively control the deformation of roadway floor and rock burst, guaranteeing the stability of roadway floor. This impact control method for the roadway floor can provide a reference for the prevention and control of roadway rock burst in mines with similar geological conditions.

Deformation and failure mechanism of the surrounding rock of the floor roadway under the influence of working face mining is complicated, and roadway control is difficult. The floor roadway of the 11123 working face in Pan’er Mine is taken as the research object of this study based on semi-infinite body theory of elastic mechanics to establish a mechanical model along the advancing direction of the working face and derive the stress expression of any point in the affected area of floor mining. According to the theoretical results, effective reinforcement and support schemes are then proposed. FLAC3D numerical simulation analyzes the stress and deformation of the surrounding rock of the floor roadway before and after the reinforcement. The numerical simulation results showed that (1) mining abutment pressure of the overlying working face forms a certain range of stress concentration on the roof and two sides of the roadway and will cause deformation and damage to the floor roadway and (2) overall bearing capacity of the surrounding rock of the roadway is significantly improved, and surface displacement of the floor roadway is reduced by 64 mm through the reinforcement and support of the floor roadway. On-site monitoring data of the floor roadway in the 11123 working face of Pan’er Mine showed that the maximum displacement of the roadway roof and two sides is controlled at approximately 80 mm, and the surrounding rock deformation of the roadway is appropriately controlled to meet the needs of safe production.

<p>In this study, the small-scale physical modeling tests have considered the impact of the infiltration of rainfall in order to investigate the processes involved in wedge slope deformation and failure. We are conducted under controlled conditions of the intersection angle and half wedge angle. Observations obtained during each stage of deformation and failure were used to explain how gravity deformation varies on wedge slopes, and infer how rainfall influence slope failure. The results indicate that half wedge angle is a crucial factor in the deformation failure of slopes. The failure mechanisms of low intersection angle slopes (sliding model) differ considerably from those of high intersection angle slopes (free falling or toppling model). The infiltration of surface water can have a significant influence on rock layer deformation and the speed of failure. Details of the failure characteristics of wedge slope models are discussed in this paper.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> physical modeling, rainfall, wedge slope, the intersection angle, half wedge angle.</p>

Red shale is widely distributed among the deep mine areas of Kaiyang Phosphate Mine, which is the biggest underground phosphate mine of China. Because of the effect of various factors, such as high stress, ground water and so on, trackless transport roadways in deep mine areas were difficult to effectively support for a long time by using traditional supporting design methods. To deal with this problem, some innovative works were carried out in this paper. First, mineral composition and microstructure, anisotropic, hydraulic mechanical properties and other mechanical parameters of red shale were tested in a laboratory to reveal its deformation and failure characteristics from the aspect of lithology. Then, some numerical simulation about the failure process of the roadways in layered red shale strata was implemented to investigate the change regulation of stress and strain in the surrounding rock, according to the real rock mechanical parameters and in-situ stress data. Therefore, based on the composite failure law and existing support problems of red shale roadways, some effective methods and techniques were adopted, especially a kind of new wave-type bolt that was used to relieve rock expansion and plastic energy to prevent concentration of stress and excess deformation. The field experiment shows the superiorities in new techniques have been verified and successfully applied to safeguard roadway stability.

AbstractThe destruction caused by ballistic ejecta from the phreatic eruptions of Mt. Ontake in 2014 and Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane (Mt. Moto-Shirane) in 2018 in Japan, which resulted in numerous casualties, highlighted the need for better evacuation facilities. In response, some mountain huts were reinforced with aramid fabric to convert them into shelters. However, a number of decisions must be made when working to increase the number of shelters, which depend on the location where they are to be built. In this study, we propose a method of using high-strength steel to reinforce wooden buildings for use as shelters. More specifically, assuming that ballistic ejecta has an impact energy of 9 kJ or more, as in previous studies, we developed a method that utilizes SUS304 and SS400 unprocessed steel plates based on existing impact test data. We found that SUS304 is particularly suitable for use as a reinforcing material because it has excellent impact energy absorption characteristics due to its high ductility as well as excellent corrosion resistance. With the aim of increasing the structural strength of steel shelters, we also conducted an impact test on a shelter fabricated from SS400 deck plates (i.e., steel with improved flexural strength provided by work-hardened trapezoidal corrugated plates). The results show that the shelter could withstand impact with an energy of 13.5 kJ (2.66 kg of simulated ballistic ejecta at 101 m/s on impact). In addition, from the result of the impact test using the roof-simulating structure, it was confirmed the impact absorption energy is further increased when artificial pumice as an additional protective layer is installed on this structure. Observations of the shelter after the impact test show that there is still some allowance for deformation caused by projectile impact, which means that the proposed steel shelter holds promise, not only structurally, but also from the aspects of transportation and assembly. Hence, the usefulness of shelters that use steel was shown experimentally. However, shelter construction should be suitable for the target environment.

AbstractOn the third anniversary of the war over South Ossetia, resumed talks between Georgia and Russia are needed to create positive momentum in a still unstable environment. The article examines the continuing strains and recommends that the two sides engage in direct dialogue in order to de-escalate allegations about the other's involvement in the conflict. While formal diplomatic relations remain more or less suspended, many mutual interests remain. Paramount in this is the fact that Georgia and Russia share interests in improving mutual security, trade and transport. The impact of the ongoing conflict on Georgia's very diverse communities differs substantially, as do their priorities. Concerns over the future amongst these communities are widespread. The consequences of the violence and subsequent failure to progress resolution of the conflict still affect communities, especially those living along the Administrative Boundary Line between South Ossetia and Georgia proper. Although no major incidents of violence have occurred since 2008 and the level of humanitarian assistance provided to communities around the ABL has been impressive during the first two years following the war, the contact and movement across the ABL has become increasingly difficult, badly affecting those dependent on cross-border interaction for their personal wellbeing and that of their communities. As a result, a range of vulnerabilities is more likely to come to the surface and undermine the future sustainability of communities living along the ABL. As such, it is essential that local and international actors, including OSCE and EUMM are better able to distinguish between the varied needs of communities living along the ABL , in order to develop appropriate strategies for responding to them.
