Abstract:

In order to effectively improve the comprehensive prevention and control ability of coal mine water disaster accidents, the complex network and robustness analysis method were used to explore the key causes of accidents. According to the report of 111 typical coal mine water disaster cases in China in the past 40 years, an unweighted directed network of coal mine water disaster was constructed. The weights of each cause, such as degree, clustering coefficient and betweenness centrality at different scales of the network were calculated, and the key causes were excavated. The damage of intentional attack to the cause network under three different strategies was evaluated, and the optimal solution of systematic prevention and control was sought. The results show that the coal mine water disaster cause network has the characteristics of small world, and the causes are closely related. The attack ranked by degree has the greatest damage to the model. The corresponding key causes include organizing workers to carry out risky operations, failing to implement the management responsibility of water prevention and control technology, failing to carry out water exploration and drainage work as required, illegal organization of production operations, imperfect safety management institutions, inadequate hidden danger investigation, loopholes in coal mine safety supervision and supervision, and failure of higher-level units to perform safety management responsibilities.

Key words: coal mine water hazard accidents, causal networks, complex networks, clustering coefficient, avoidance measures
