Numerical Analysis on Ground Pressure Feature in Fully Mechanized Coal Face

Abstract

Base on the fully mechanized coal face of 8113 (1) in LaoYingSan mine, numerical analysis method was applied to analyze the ground pressure feature, FLAC software is carried out to set up numerical model, and offer numerical procedure. The mining abutment pressure distribute form and its partition in front of fully mechanized working face. All four different mining height (2.6m2.8m3.0m3.2m) was respectively calculated. In addition, the influence of mining speed to mining abutment pressure and intervals is analyzed, four different mining distance (20m30m40m50m) selected separately. Afterwards, the different solution analyzed respectively, these results show that the mining abutment pressure distribution form in front of fully mechanized working face essentially identical, they including the stress increasing zones, the stress decreasing zones and the initial rock stress stable field. The influence of mining pace to wall rock looseness range greater than mining height.
