Abstract
Irregular coal pillars inevitably appear in the layout of the current long-wall mining method, which easily forms stress concentrations and becomes a heavy disaster area of rock burst. In order to solve the impact risk of irregular coal pillar working face, it is necessary to study the instability mechanism of the coal pillar and put forward effective prevention and control measures. Based on the research background of 14320 working face of the Dongtan Coal Mine in the Yanzhou mining area of China, this paper studies the prediction and prevention of rock bursts in this kind of coal pillar by means of theoretical calculation, numerical simulation, engineering analogy, and field monitoring. The results show that (1) the absolute stability of coal pillar is that the width of coal pillar B reaches twice the support pressure of 2L, and the possibility of instability from large to small is coal pillars 2, 5, 3, 1, and 4. (2) The ratio of coal pillar strength to its average load determines the stability coefficient of the coal pillar, and it is judged that coal pillars 1 and 4 are in a stable state, coal pillars 3 and 5 are in a limit equilibrium state, and coal pillar 2 is in an unstable state. The numerical simulation shows that the maximum stress value inside the coal pillar during the mining process is basically consistent with the theoretical calculation of the bearing strength of the coal pillar. (3) The new evaluation method is used to evaluate the rock burst risk degree of the working face roadway: 156.75 m is a strong rock burst risk zone, 728.18 m is a medium rock burst risk zone, and 176.88 m is a weak rock burst risk zone. (4) Regional prevention and local prevention measures are proposed for the risk of rock burst in the roadway, which reduces the stress concentration of the coal pillar. It is verified that the pressure relief effect is remarkable, and the safe mining of such an irregular coal pillar working face is completed, which provides a solution for studying and solving such rock burst risk.
