Water Inrush Risk Evaluation of Seam Roof and Floor at Mayingbao Coal Field in Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province

Abstract

Hydrological exploration tests are designed and field data are acquired. By combination of theories and experiments, hydro geological condition and water filling factors of Mayingbao coal mine field are analyzed systematically aiming to ascertaining threatening degree of water hazard of the mine field and studying theory of mine water hazard prevention and control. According to coupling theory between GIS and AHP, models of “water abundance index” and “vulnerability index” are founded respectively. By methods of “three maps-double predictions” and “vulnerability index”, water inrush probability from roof and floor of chief exploitable coal seams in the mine field are evaluated quantitatively. Comprehensive regionalization of roof water filling probability and evaluation regionalization of floor water inrush vulnerability of the seams are formed. Based on above study, water inflow of first mining area is predicted and suggestion of water prevention and control for safety production is put forward. Nonlinear and multivariate theory in present geoscience research is improved because of the above results and the research provides necessary basic data for the mine designing, preliminary and feasibility research and subsequent safety production.
