Research on the Deformation and Failure Characteristics and Control Technology of Mining Area Rises under the Influence of Mining Stress

Abstract

Affected by mining stress, roadways surrounding rock face problems such as serious deformation and failure and difficult support. In this study, with the II2 mining area rise in Taoyuan Coal Mine taken as the engineering background, the evolution laws of stress, deformation and plastic zone area of the mining area rises during the advance process of the working face were explored with the aid of FLAC3D software. The results suggested that the stress, deformation and plastic zone area of the surrounding rock increase significantly when the distance between the working face and the track rise is less than 20 m. Based on this finding, it was further determined that the stopping line of the II8222 working face should be at least 20 m away from the track rise. Furthermore, in accordance with the deformation and failure characteristics of surrounding rock under the influence of mining stress, this paper conducted a simulation on four support schemes of mining area rises, and quantitatively analyzed the mechanical response of a roadway surrounding rock under these support schemes. The simulation results revealed that the support scheme of “bolt-mesh-spray-cable + grouting bolt” can effectively deal with the influence of mining stress on the working face. Meanwhile, an engineering application was carried out. By monitoring the surface displacement of the surrounding rock, it was found that the deformation of the roadway surrounding rock was effectively controlled, and a remarkable support effect was achieved. In short, the proposed support scheme greatly improved the stability and safety of surrounding rock in the mining area rise under the influence of mining stress.
