Coal bump often occurs in coal mining among many working faces in mine group under the control of large geological bodies. In order to study the coal bump mechanism between adjacent working faces under the conditions of large fault and huge thick overburden conglomerate, this paper regards Yima mining area as a practical engineering background and theoretically analyzes the mechanical behavior of overlying rock in the spatial structure. Then, the deep-ground and whole-space measurement is carried out in the 13230 working face of Gengcun mine and 21121 working face of Qianqiu mine. The results show that the basic structural unit in Yima mining area is composed of two goafs, middle coal pillar, and overlying conglomerate. Under the condition of nonsynchronous mining in adjacent working faces, there is a comovement effect similar to lever’s “prying” phenomenon in thick conglomerate beam—the conglomerate strata above larger goaf side induce an overall uplift movement of the corresponding strata above smaller goaf side, and uplift length of the conglomerate strata is related to the mining length, coal pillar width, caving angle, and coal-conglomerate distance. The results of surface subsidence, microseism, and stress in the two working faces verify the conglomerate’s phenomenon of comovement effect and disturbance range and further explain the role of active movement of F16 fault and overall causes of huge thick conglomerate on the coal bump. The vertical stress of the 13230 face is relatively low at the beginning, and high horizontal stress by fault activation causes typical bump accident with the horizontal sliding of coal body. With the increasing development of 13230 face, the intensity and frequency of coal bump in horizontal direction decrease obviously, but with high proportion in vertical direction. The results provide a theoretical basis for the study on the mechanism of coal bump between two adjacent working faces under the conditions of huge thick conglomerate and large thrust fault.

The Yushen mining area contains thin bedrock and a shallow buried coal seam, where JingLe group Hipparion clay and Lishi loess serve as a high-quality cement insulation cover. This study investigates the properties of the clay layer to determine the effect of the clay aquiclude on the mining water variation and fracture characteristics. Unloading hydraulic jack experiments were performed to test the physical and mechanical properties of the clay layer and the structure was analyzed in detail. The experimental results show that mining affects the soil cracks, leading to crack opening and subsequent bridging. The permeability coefficient of the soil layer initially increases with increased unloading and then decreases. A theoretical model is developed to determine the recovery mechanism of the clay layer water insulation based on the spatial movement of the clay. The results indicate the formation of a waterproof cover type of coal mud protection. Design methods are proposed to optimize the coal pillar size. Mining damage leads to the formation of a mud-covered bridge belt, which can be designed to appropriately reduce the protective layer thickness. The model is applied to the Hao Jialiang 2301 working face. The results provide important insight on the variation characteristics of the mining water insulation in clay layers and an important reference for accurately calculating the size parameters of waterproof protective coal pillars under mud-cap conditions to increase the upper mining limit of the working face.

Coal Pillars

The condition of the coal pillars remained in the room-and-pillar gobs is complicated. The stresses loaded on the pillar floor may be transmitted and overlapped. It changes the stress environment of the lower coal seam roof, leading abnormal periodic weighting. In the procedure of coal seam 3−1 mining in the Huoluowan Coal Mine, the ground stress is high while the working face passing through the room pillars of overlying coal seam 2−2, leading to hydraulic shield being broken. In this paper, theoretical analysis, numerical calculation, and similar material simulation were used to analyse the stress environment of lower seam and the effect of coal pillars remained in close-distanced upper seam. The stress transfer model was established for the room pillars of coal seam 2−2, and the stress distribution of underlying strata was obtained based on theoretical analysis. The joint action of dynamic pressure of high stress-coal pillar with movement of overlying rock strata in the working face 3−1 under the coal pillar was revealed. The results showed that the horizontal stress and vertical stress under the large coal pillar of the room gob in coal seam 2−2 were high, being from 9.7 to 15.3 MPa. The influencing depth of vertical stress ranged from 42 m to 58 m. The influencing depth of horizontal stress ranged from 10 to 23 m. The influencing range of the shear stress was from 25 to 50 m. When the working face 3−1 was mined below the coal pillar of 20 m or 50 m, abutment pressure was relatively high. The stress concentration coefficient reached 4.44–5.00. The dynamic pressure of the working face was induced by the stress overlying of the upper and lower coal seams, instability of the inverted trapezoid rock pillar above the coal pillar, and collapsing movement of the roof. The studying results were beneficial for guiding the safety mining of the coal seam 3−1 in the Huoluowan Coal Mine.

Floor stress distribution is the main index for evaluating the mining effect of upper protective coal seam. However, parameters currently used in theoretical analysis of mining-induced stress lack practicality. Therefore, in this article, a model for calculating floor stress during mining of upper protective coal seams was established based on the theory of elastic mechanics. Subsequently, the stress induced by the abutment pressure at any point in the five parts of the floor was derived. Moreover, the distribution characteristics of the horizontal, vertical, and shear stresses of the floor during mining of the upper protective coal seam were elaborated. The results show that with the continuous mining of the working face of the protective coal seam, the vertical stress of the floor strata experiences three stages, that is, rapid increase, abrupt stress relaxation, and gradual recovery to the in situ stress. With regard to the morphology, the floor strata recompress or expand in the vertical direction. Vertical and horizontal stress are relieved in the shallow part of the floor in the goaf behind the working face, and there is an abrupt reduction in the increase of concentration degree of vertical and horizontal stress in the floor strata in front of the working face. High shear stress occurs underneath the goaf near the working face. The isoline of the shear stress is distributed in a bubble shape and is oblique to the goaf. These research achievements can provide some theoretical basis for understanding the gas drainage during the mining of the upper protective coal seam.

In order to effectively control deep roadway under mining influence, based on the typical engineering geological conditions of Dingji coalmine in Huainan mining area, we researched on the laws of stress evolution and failure mechanism of roadway influenced by working face advancing by using numerical simulation and applying field test. The results showed that the surrounding rock stress of roadway ribs increased gradually with face advancing, vertical stress peak transfer to in-depth of roadway surrounding rock, the trend of roadway surface displacement variation consistent with corresponding stress variation. An appropriate coal pillar size (105 m) was proposed. We put forward the basic ideas for surrounding rock controlling and surrounding rock reinforce technology, namely U-steel support back grouting and bolt-cable cooperative supporting. By roadway deformation, roof layer separation and borehole detecting, we found out that displacement of roadway ribs was less than 250 mm, subsidence of roof was less than 110 mm, and the roadway deformation has been effectively controlled.

In view of multiseam mining under goaf, the surrounding rock control problem of lower coal roadway will be affected by concentrated coal pillar left in upper coal seam goaf and dynamic pressure superposition of working face in this coal seam. Under the geological environment of No. 16 extrathick coal seam in the Laoshidan coal mine and taking the working face 031604 as the research background, the reasonable docking position selection of the withdrawal roadway and the docking roadway in the middle mining period and the surrounding rock stability control problems of the withdrawal roadway and the docking roadway during the final mining period were studied by using the methods of field theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field measurement. The mechanical mechanism of the nonuniform failure of the retreating roadway and the docking roadway during the final mining period is shown, and the control method of the surrounding rock stability of the roadway is put forward and applied. The results show that (1) through the analysis of the superimposed stress under the concentrated coal pillar and the coal seam in advance, the specific butt joint position is arranged at 860 m away from the open-off cut, which is 10 m away from the goaf of No. 12 coal seam. (2) With the working face 031604 advancing through the process, the deviatoric stress value of the withdrawal roadway gradually increases, the maximum principal stress of the two sides of the roadway deflects clockwise from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, its angle also gradually increases, and the shape of the plastic zone gradually expands from symmetry to asymmetry. (3) It is revealed that the peak value of deviatoric stress on both sides of the docking position of docking roadway increases gradually under the influence of mining and deflects anticlockwise to the vertical direction with the principal stress angle. The joint action of both is the mechanical mechanism that causes the plastic zone to expand in an asymmetric shape. (4) The coordinated control scheme of support (anchor bolt and anchor cable)—modified (grouting)—is adopted for the withdrawal roadway, and the coordinated control scheme of support (anchor bolt and anchor cable)—changing the cross-section shape of the roadway—is adopted for the docking roadway. The purpose of the smooth connection of working face and rapid and safe withdrawal of equipment is achieved on site.

This study investigated the mechanism, prevention measures, and control methods for earthquake disasters typically occurring in mines with thick and hard rock strata. A mine stope with large faults and thick hard rock strata in Hebei Province was taken as the background study object. Then, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation methods were adopted in conjunction with field monitoring to explore how horizontal stress evolves in the thick and hard hanging roofs of such mines, potentially leading to mining earthquakes. Then, based on the obtained results, a mining design method was proposed to reduce the horizontal stress levels of earthquake mitigation. The results showed that, under the control of large faults, semiopen and semiclosed stopes with thick hard rock strata are formed, which cause influentially pressurized and depressurized zones during the evolution of the overburden movements and horizontal stress. It was determined that the stress concentrations mainly originated from the release and transfer of horizontal stress during the rock fractures and movements in the roof areas, which were calculated using a theoretical estimation model. The horizontal stress concentrations formed “counter torques” at both ends of the thick and hard strata, which prevented the support ending due to tensile failures. As a result, the limit spans were increased. This study proposed a mining strategy of using narrow working faces, strip mining processes, and reasonable mining speeds, which could effectively reduce horizontal stress concentrations and consequently prevent and control mining earthquakes. This study’s research results were successfully applied to the mining practices in working face 16103.

Taking the occurrence conditions of the hard main roof in the deep 13-1 coal mining roadway in Huainan mining area as the research object, based on the mechanical parameters of the surrounding rock and the stress state of the main roof obtained by numerical simulation, a simply supported beam calculation model was established based on the damage factor D, main roof support reaction RA, RB, and critical range C (9 m) and B (7 m) at the elastoplastic junction of the solid coal side and mining face side (hereinafter referred to as “junction”). Considering that the damage area still has a large bearing capacity, the vertical stress of the main roof at the junction is K1γH (0.05γh, 0.15γh, and 0.25γh) and K2γH (0.01γh, 0.10γh, and 0.2γh). The maximum deflection is 21 mm, 324 mm, and 627.6 mm, respectively. According to the criterion of tensile failure, the maximum bending moment of the top beam is 209 mN·m at the side of the working face 3.1 m away from the roadway side when K1 = 0.15 and K2 = 0.10, and the whole hard main roof is in tensile failure except the junction. To control the stability of the top beam and simplify the supporting reaction to limit the deformation of the slope angle, RC and RD are used to construct the statically indeterminate beam. By adding an anchor cable and advance self-moving support to the roadway side angle, the problem of difficult control of the surrounding rock with a large deformation of the side angle roof is solved, which provides a reference for roof control under similar conditions.

The gob-side roadway in an isolated island working face is a typical representative of a strong mining roadway, which seriously restricts the efficient and safe production of underground coal mines. With the engineering background of the main transportation roadway 1513 (MTR 1513) of the Xinyi Coal Mine, this paper introduces the engineering case of gob-side roadway driving with small coal-pillar facing mining in an isolated island working face under the alternate mining of wide and narrow working faces. Through comprehensive research methods, we studied zoning disturbance deformation characteristics and stress evolution law of gob-side roadway driving under face mining. Based on the characteristics of zoning disturbance, MTR 1513 is divided into three zones, which are the heading face mining zone, the mining influenced zone, and the mining stability zone. A collaborative control technology using pressure relief and anchoring is proposed, and the differentiated control method is formed for the three zones. For the heading face mining zone, the control method of anchoring first and then pressure relief is adopted; for the mining influenced zone, the control idea of synchronous coordination of pressure relief and anchorage is adopted; for the mining stability zone, the control method of anchoring without pressure relief is adopted. Engineering practices show that the disturbance influence distance of working face 1511 on MTR 1513 changes from 110 m advanced to 175 m delay. At this time, the surrounding rock deformation is effectively controlled, which verified the rationality of the division and the feasibility of three zoning control technology. The research results can provide reference for gob-side roadway driving with small coal pillar facing mining in a special isolated island working face.

Aiming at the large deformation problem of gob-side entry in solid filling mining, the roof subsidence of gob-side entry retaining (GER) was studied under the influence of gangue filling, by taking a deep filling working face in Shandong Province as the engineering background and using theoretical derivation as well as FLAC3D numerical simulation. Research shows that the stiffness of the gangue filling body in the gob and the stiffness and width of the entry protection coal and rock mass (EPCARM) are positively correlated with the GER roof subsidence, which is much less affected by the EPCARM parameters than by the GER stiffness. The GER failure to meet the application requirements is mainly attributed to the insufficient stiffness of the gangue filling body and excessive advance subsidence, which inhibit the roof stress transfer. The GER replacement by the gob-side entry driving (GED) scheme, which implies replacing the entry protection gangue bag wall with the coal pillar with a width of 5 m, will reduce the roof subsidence to 0.114 m, according to the proposed equation. The results obtained are considered quite instrumental in deformation control of the gob-side entry filled with gangue, as well as substantiation of GED and GER applicability options.

Abstract This study provides a new permanent magnetic eddy current drive system to solve the ener-gy-saving drive problem of the scraper conveyor working under bad conditions, including overload startup, severe abrasion and pollution. Considering the practical conveying conditions of the scraper chain on a fully mechanised coal mining face, this study creates a mathematical model for the new permanent magnetic eddy current drive system of the scraper conveyor based on its characteristics and indicates the motion characteristics of the scraper chain driven by two wheels. This study verifies the model accuracy with a pre-startup technology depending on the scraper conveyor on the No. 12318 working face of the 8th coal mine in the West No. 1 mining area of the Pansan Coal Mine of the Huainan Mining Group. According to the results, the motion acceleration of the scraper chain based on the new permanent magnetic eddy current drive is lower than that of the scraper chain with a hydraulic coupler under the same running condition and load during startup and acceleration and declines by approximately 14.7%. Consequently, this can decline the startup impact due to the serious abrasion and frequent overload of the scraper chain working under bad conditions.
