Research on comprehensive detection and visualize of hidden cavity goaf

Abstract

At present, the research on goaf at home and abroad mainly focuses on four aspects: detection technology, stability evaluation technology, governance technology and quality control technology. The most important of the above four aspects is goaf detection technology. In order to ensure the accuracy and precision of exploration, many geophysical methods and high-density geological drilling are usually used for exploration. In case of complex terrain, this method will increase the workload rapidly, and can not achieve a good balance between exploration cost and exploration quality. Goaf exploration methods are still in the development stage, and each geophysical exploration method has its limitations. This study makes full use of the existing detection technology to detect the complex mined-out area of East Open-pit Mine, 9 inferred mined-out areas and 9 suspected mined-out areas were found by using 3D seismic exploration method, transient electromagnetic method is used to delineate 223 abnormal areas at different elevations within the exploration range. 58 drilling holes are arranged in the suspected mined-out area of East Open-pit Mine. Combined with geological software, 3D model map of mined-out area is drawn, and the causes of formation of mined-out area are classified and analyzed. Using 3D laser scanning technology to study the visualization of hidden mined-out areas, the hidden mined-out areas are divided into three types through visualization research, and its formation mechanism is analyzed. It can be applied to detection of open-pit mines which have small underground coal mines and many mined-out areas with complex geometric shapes and has great significance to the proposal of stability treatment scheme of mined-out area. The novelty of this study is prove the area, shape, roof thickness and height of the mined-out area by using joint detection method and the hidden mined-out area is visualized by 3D laser scanning technology.
