Abstract:

In order to accurately grasp the possibility of disaster caused by sudden water surge within the 2-coal mining range of the I04 mining area of Hongliu Mine, the stability of the overburden rock and the breakage law of the working face were analyzed based on the key layer theory, and a probing study was conducted on the height of the ″two zones″ of the I040201 comprehensive mining face by using the borehole peeping method, the segmented water injection method, and the numerical simulation method. The results show that the height of the collapse zone of I040201 comprehensive mining face in Hongliu Mine is about 54.40 m, and the height of the fissure zone is about 98.12 m; the collapse ratio of 2-coal in I04 mining area is 10.46, and the fissure ratio of 2-coal in I04 mining area is 18.87; the destruction of overburden caused by the mining of the face has not penetrated the aquifer of Anding Formation. The test results provide theoretical support and scientific basis for the management of the roof plate in the open area of Hongliu Mine, the setting of waterproof coal pillars, as well as the deployment of mining and roadway support.

Key words: overburden rock damage, disaster caused by sudden water surge, ″two zones″ of roof plate, segmented water injection, numerical simulation
