Abstract:

To solve the challenges in supporting fractured roof coal seam roadways, a rock layer detection recorder was used to conduct tests on the coal seam roadways at Xindeng mine. The analysis focused on the evolution characteristics of surrounding rock fractures. The R value for the direct roof rock and the β coefficient for roof fragmentation were introduced as evaluation indicators for roadway surrounding rock stability. The surrounding rock was categorized into four types: easy to support, relatively easy to support, relatively difficult to support, and difficult to support. Specific support parameters were provided for each category. Zoned support technology was applied in the gas drainage chamber of +90 North wing of Xindeng mine, achieving excellent support results. The study shows that the state of the roof surrounding rock is zoned, with the shallow fractured zone, followed by the fractured-fracture mixed zone, the developed fracture zone, and the intact surrounding rock zone. Through fracture analysis, it is found that the width of the roof fracture zone gradually expands to the deep surrounding rock over time, and the number of fractures also increases. The existing support cannot effectively control the continuous deterioration of the surrounding rock integrity.
