Overburden Breaking Law and Safe Mining Technology in Thin Bedrock Stope with Thick Alluvium

Abstract

For the thick alluvium and thin bedrock coal seam mining in East China, it is easy to produce water by pressing the frame. Taking the engineering geological conditions of the thin bedrock coal seam 1611 (3) working face in the Zhangji Coal Mine of Huainan Mining Group as the research background, the breaking law of the thin bedrock coal seam working face with thick alluvium was studied by using a similar material physical simulation experiment and theoretical analysis. It is revealed that under the load transfer of the loose aquifer, the roof fracture of the stope with thick alluvium and thin bedrock is characterized by large and small periodic ground pressure, and the combination failure of the high key stratum and the low key stratum with large cycles is prone to support crushing accidents. Based on this, the safety mining technical measures of reducing the fracture distance of the high key stratum by forced roof caving are proposed, and the reasonable blasting parameters are calculated. After field application, no support crushing accident on the working face was recorded, and the mining was safe, which provides a technical reference for the mining of the working face under similar conditions.
