Abstract

Extensive soft-rock floor heave in gob-side entry retaining considerably restricts the efficient and sustainable production of the mine. The mechanical capacities of roadway roof and floor strata are discussed through laboratory tests by taking the N2301 fully caving surface auxiliary transport gate road of the Ancient City Coal Mine in the Lu’an Mining Area of Shanxi Province as an engineering background. The stress distribution law of gob-side entry in mining the working surface was explored based on numerical simulation. After that, the mechanical mechanism of floor heave was studied through theoretical analysis. High lead abutment pressure and horizontal stress were superimposed in front of the working surface to cause soft-rock floor heave. The bulk weight of the high overburden was unevenly transmitted to the two sides because of the roof cantilever structure of entry retaining in the rear of the working face. The roadway floor produced an asymmetric sliding force, which caused the occurrence of floor heave. The control technology of floor heave combining the pressure relief of floor blasting and roof cutting was proposed taking account of the mechanism of floor heave. Then, the stress environment of the surrounding rock was improved by the deep hole blasting of the floor. Gob-side roof cutting was used to reduce impact of the bulk weight of the overburden on the surrounding rock deformation of the roadway. A test was conducted after verifying the control effect of blasting pressure relief on roadway floor heave through a similar simulation. Field tests indicated that the maximum floor heave was 168 mm at 250 m in the rear of the working surface, and floor heave was controlled. This study offers a more scientifically sound theoretical reference for controlling floor heave in gob-side entry retaining, which can significantly advance the sustainable development of gob-side entry retaining technology in coal mining.
