This article focuses on the energy density alteration during non-pillar mining method of goaf-side entry retaining by roof cutting (GERRC) and adjacent working face mining. We also studied the support control strategy of goaf-side roadway. Numerical calculation model is established, and the parameters of the model are verified by the measured advance abutment pressure and numerical solution. Based on the numerical model, the energy density during mining is studied. It is found that the whole energy evolution pattern of the goaf side entry during the two adjacent working face mining includes: the original rock energy, the advance energy of the current working face, the dynamic lateral abutment energy caused by strata movement, the lateral abutment energy of the adjacent working face. The support body failure and surrounding rock large deformation phenomenon often occur in goaf side roadway, which is influenced by multiple energy disturbances. Research shows that strong stress disturbance of surrounding rock generates in front of the working face 23 m and behind of working face 60 m in GERRC method. In the second goaf-side entry retaining, the range is in front of the working face 47 m. The evolution law of energy field puts forward the strategy of using the high constant resistance and large deformation (CRLD) anchor cable and procured preferable effect.

By making full use of the advantages of strip mining method and full-pillar mining method, the wide strip and full-pillar mining method can achieve the aim of mining under villages. However, at the full-pillar mining stage, the difficulty in managing several workfaces which are at work at the same time still exists. To improve the wide strip and full-pillar mining method’s applicability, an optimization of extraction sequence for coal pillars instead of the multi-working-face is put forward at the stage of full-pillar mining, and in the case of the deformation limit of surface structures is satisfied, to extract all the coal pillars which are under villages. By specific analysis of the extraction sequence optimization of the coal pillars in No.1 mine under Qian Xudapo village which belongs to Chang Chun coal Co., LTD., a better result is got which also acts a technological reference for the extraction under villages.

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.

As the mining depth increases, under the influence of high ground stress, the surrounding rock of deep mine roadways shows soft rock characteristics. Under the influence of mining disturbance at the working face, large deformation of the roadway has occurred. To control the large deformation of the roadway, many mines have adopted the form of combined support, which has continuously increased the support strength and achieved a certain effect. However, since the stress environment of the surrounding rock of the roadway has not been changed, large deformation of the roadway still occurs in many cases. Based on the theoretical basis of academician Manchao He’s “short cantilever beam by roof cutting,” this paper puts forward the plan of “presplitting blasting + combined support” to control the large deformation of the deep mine roadways. Without changing the original support conditions of the roadway, presplitting blasting the roof strata of the roadway, by cutting off the mechanical connection of the roof strata between the roadway and gob, improves the stress distribution of the roadway to control the large deformation. Through field tests, the results show that after presplitting blasting the roadway roof, the roadway roof subsidence is reduced by 47.9%, the ribs displacement is reduced by 45.7%, and the floor heave volume is reduced by 50.8%. The effect is significant.

Entry Roof

In order to reduce large deformation failure occurrences in non-pillar longwall mining entries due to roof weighting behaviors, a case study in Halagou coal mine was conducted on optimization and control techniques for entry stability in non-pillar longwall mining. The Universal Discrete Element Code (UDEC) modeling was adopted to study entry stability in non-pillar mining, and the characteristics of deformation and stress and crack propagation were revealed. The large deformation transmission between the entry-immediate roof and the gob-immediate roof could be eliminated by optimizing the entry roof structure through a directional roof-cutting method. The localized tensile stresses generated in the entry-surrounding rock caused the generation of coalescent macroscopic fractures, which resulted in the instability of the entry. The tensile stress state could be inhibited by an active flexible support system through enhancing the confining pressure on the surrounding rock. Serious rotation subsidence occurs in the entry roof due to periodic weighting of the main roof, which could be greatly reduced by a passive rigid support pattern. The numerical and field test results both showed that the roof weighting pressure was offloaded by the technique and that the deformation of the entry surrounding the rock in non-pillar mining was quite small. Thus, the technique can effectively ensure the stability of the gob-side entry, which can provide references for entry stability control in non-pillar longwall mining.

The no-pillar mining method is widely used in coal mining engineering because of its superiority in resolving mine pressure hazards and protecting natural resources. In view of the geological conditions of stable strata in a coal mine of the Shandong Coal Zone, a novel segmented roadside plugging-filling mining method is proposed by introducing the filling coefficient into roadside filling. The operation process is designed with a new grouting filling forming device. Based on the relationship between the theoretical deflection of a cantilever beam and geometric settlement and parallel settlement models, strength formulas applicable to the segmented roadside plugging-filling (SRPF) method at different migration stages are obtained, and the deformation formulas of a roadway toward a rock slab are solved by an elastic equivalent model. Further, the determination procedure of the filling mode under the mining method is clarified. The SRPF method was implemented on a test stope, and the test results indicated that the theoretical deformation produced by the SRPF method was small and can meet the mining requirements. Through on-site test monitoring, the deformation of surrounding rock was 0–160 mm and the filling body under the SRPF method could maintain its own strength and the stability of the surrounding rock. In addition, entire successful mining been completed in the working stope, which further proves the applicability of this method. The backfilling cost of the gob-side filling was reduced by approximately 50%, and the backfilling efficiency was improved in the mine. The description of the novel mining method may provide theoretical and practical guidance for coal mining in similar geological conditions.

In order to explore the distribution law of stress field under the mining mode of gob-side entry retaining by roof cutting without pillar (GERRCP) under goaf, based on the engineering background of 8102 and 9101 working faces in Xiashanmao coal mine, the stress field distribution of GERRCP and traditional remaining pillar was studied by means of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The simulation results showed that: (1) in the front of the working face, the vertical peak stress of non-pillar mining was smaller than that of the remaining pillar mining, and it could effectively control stress concentration in surrounding rock of the mining roadway; the trend of horizontal stress distribution of the two was the same, and the area, span and peak stress of stress the rise zone were the largest in large pillar mining and the minimum in non-pillar mining. (2) On the left side of the working face, the vertical stress presented increasing-decreasing characteristics under non-pillar mining mode and saddle-shaped distribution characteristics under the remaining pillar mining mode respectively. Among them, the peak stress was the smallest under non-pillar mining, and compared with the mining of the large pillar and small pillar, non-pillar mining decreased by 12–21% and 3–10% respectively. The position of peak stress of the former was closer to the mining roadway, indicating that the width of the plastic zone of the surrounding rock of the non-pillar mining was smaller and bearing capacity was higher. In the mining of the large and small pillar, the horizontal stress formed a high stress concentration in the pillar and 9102 working face respectively. In non-pillar mining, the horizontal stress concentration appeared in solid coal, but the concentration area was small.

This paper studies and introduces the successful case of gob-side entry retaining technology and the typical mining pressure law in Luan mining area, which is the main mining coal seam in Qinshui coalfield. Qinshui coalfield has an estimated coal reserve of 300 billion tons, accounting for 9.58% of the total national coal reserve in China, especially anthracite, chemical coal, and coking coal. The methods of field investigation, theoretical analysis, physical experiment, and industrial test are adopted. Through the field investigation, theoretical analysis, physical experiments, and industrial test, the following conclusions have been drawn in this study: (1) A thorough engineering geological investigation was conducted on the entry retaining along the gob side on noncoal pillar mining working face, which covers multiple periods of mining process including the roadway excavation period, primary mining period, primary mining stability period, and secondary mining influence period. A series of analysis and tests were conducted such as core sampling, rock mechanics property testing, borehole detection, and flexible formwork support evaluation, which laid a foundation for identifying the mining pressure law of gob-side entry retaining by using noncoal pillar mining. (2) The mining pressure law was studied through the collection of the field measurements taken from the entry retaining along the gob side on noncoal pillar mining working face. The keys to achieve the roadway surrounding rock stability through noncoal pillar mining are obtained. According to the study, the stability control of retained roadway surrounding rock mainly depends on the stability of top coal, coal side, and shoulder angle coal. (3) In this study, a roadway reinforcement scheme is proposed to improve the surrounding rock control technology for gob-side entry retaining by noncoal pillar mining, whose effectiveness has been verified by a series of industrial test. Therefore, the wide adoption of the noncoal pillar mining method in Number #3 coal mine can significantly relieve the predicament of coal pressing under a large number of buildings in Luan mining area, which provides insightful guidance to the coal-free pillar mining in the whole Luan mining area.

In order to mine the coal seam under super-thick hard roof, improve the utilization rate of resources and prolong the remaining service life of the mine, a case study of the Gaozhuang Coal Mine in the Zaozhuang Mining Area has been performed in this paper. Based on the specific mining geological conditions of ultra-close coal seams (#3up and #3low coal seams), their joint systematic analysis has been performed, with the focus made in the following three aspects: (i) prevention of rock burst under super-thick hard roof, (ii) deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in the lower coal seam, and (iii) fire prevention in the goaf of working face. Given the strong bursting tendency observed in upper coal seam and lower coal seam, the technology of preventing rock burst under super-thick hard roof was proposed, which involved setting of narrow section coal pillars to protect roadways and interleaving layout of working faces. The specific supporting scheme of surrounding rock of roadways in the #3low1101 working face was determined, and the grouting reinforcement method of local fractured zones through Marithan was further proposed, to ensure the deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in lower coal seams. The proposed fire prevention technology envisaged goaf grouting and spraying to plug leaks, which reduced the hazard of spontaneous combustion of residual coals in mined ultra-close coal seams. The technical and economic improvements with a direct economic benefit of 5.55 million yuan were achieved by the application of the proposed comprehensive technical support. The research results obtained provide a theoretical guidance and technical support of safe mining strategies of close coal seams in other mining areas.
