Abstract
Backfill mining can effectively alleviate the problems of surface collapse and ecological water pollution, in which the mechanical properties of backfill materials, including coal gangue and coal fly ash, have a decisive role in the effect of filling mining. In this study, we analyze the permeability characteristics of coal gangue filler through a set of homemade percolation test systems and introduce fractal characteristics to investigate the key factors affecting percolation in complex pores of broken coal gangue. The results indicate that the fractal dimensions of crushed coal gangue particles show an increasing trend with increasing axial loading and that the variation range is from 2.15647 to 2.58933. The coal fly ash concentration has a positive relationship with the acceleration factor. The permeability of crushed coal gangue follows a hierarchical distribution law and the permeability changes in the magnitude range of 10-11 ~ 10-9 m2. The fractal dimension is inversely related to the permeability of crushed coal gangue. The experimental results show that the coal gangue will be further crushed and that adding a certain concentration of coal fly ash can achieve a better water barrier, which provides theoretical support and engineering significance for the stability analysis of geological engineering and backfill mining technology.
