Research on prediction method of coal mining surface subsidence based on MMF optimization model

Coal seam mining causes fracture and movement of overlying strata in goaf, and endangers the safety of surface structures and underground pipelines. Based on the engineering geological conditions of 22,122 working face in Cuncaota No.2 Coal Mine of China Shenhua Shendong Coal Group Co., Ltd. a similar material model test of mining overburden rock was carried out. The subsidence of overburden rock was obtained through the full-section strain data of distributed optical fiber technology, and the characteristics of mining surface subsidence were studied. The Weibull model was used to adjust the mathematical form of the first half of the surface subsidence curve via the MMF function. On this basis, the prediction model of coal seam mining surface subsidence was established, and the parameters of the prediction model of surface subsidence were determined. The test results show that with the advancement of coal seam mining, the fit goodness of the surface subsidence prediction curve based on the MMF optimization model reaches 0.987. Compared with the measured values, the relative error of the surface subsidence prediction model is reduced to less than 10%. The model displays good prediction accuracy. The time required for settlement stability in the prediction model is positively correlated with parameter a and negatively correlated with parameter b. The research results can be further extended to the prediction of overburden “three zones” subsidence, and provide a scientific basis for the evaluation of surface subsidence compression potential in coal mine goaf.

An entropy based spatial–temporal cube with its application to assess stress of overburden due to mining

Underground coal seam mining significantly alters the stress and energy distribution within the overlying rock, leading to eventual structural degradation. Therefore, it is imperative to quantitatively identify the temporal and spatial characteristics of stress evolution of overlying rock caused by mining. This paper introduces a novel rock stress model integrating entropy and a spatial–temporal cube. Similar material model tests are used to identify the abrupt entropy changes within the mining rock, and the trend analysis is carried out to describe the spatial–temporal evolution law of stress during mining. Experimental findings indicate elevated stress levels in the unmined rock preceding and following the panel, as well as within specific rock strata above it. Definitively, dynamic stress arches within the surrounding rock of the stope predominantly bear and distribute the load and pressure from the overlying rock, and each stress mutation is accompanied by a sudden stress entropy change. Over time, z-score shows that the noticeable reduction in mining-induced overburden stress becomes increasingly pronounced, especially in the water-conducting fracture zone. The model's bifurcation set serves as the comprehensive criterion for the entropy-induced sudden changes in the rock system, signifying overall failure.

Experimental investigation on dynamic deformation characteristics of the overlying strata in backfilling strip mining at different time scales.

The dynamic subsidence disaster caused by underground mining of coal resources is a complex spatiotemporal process, which is a common disaster in mining areas. The backfilling strip mining technology is a green and sustainable coal mining method, which has been commonly used to reduce the subsidence disaster of the overlying strata and protect surface buildings. The transient deformation is the main reason of surface buildings damage; therefore, in this study, the similar material model was used to research dynamic deformation characteristics of the overlying strata in backfilling strip mining at different time scales, and the optical image method was employed to monitor and obtain the movement data of the overlying strata automatically. The data analysis shows that there is a time-scale effect in mining subsidence. The deformation of the overlying strata increases instantaneously at a certain time under the monitoring of small time scale, and this phenomenon gradually disappears as time scales increase. According to the subsidence velocity of small time scale, the subsidence state of the overlying strata can be further divided into the abrupt subsidence state and the gentle subsidence state. This is really significant for promoting the development of the backfilling strip mining technology and preventing the damage of surface buildings.

Research and application of coral reef limestone similar material development and model testing

Abstract: To develop suitable similar materials for underground engineering model tests on islands, a series of experiments were conducted on various types of coral reef limestones in the South China Sea region. Using calcareous sand, white cement, silicone oil, and purified water as raw materials, 25 groups of orthogonal proportion tests and sensitivity analyses of different factors were performed on coral reef limestone similar materials. The reliability of the similar materials was also verified through laboratory-scale model tests. The study indicates that four groups of similar materials were formulated, which are closely related to the physico-mechanical properties and hydrological properties of different coral reef limestones. Among them, when the ratio of white cement to calcareous sand exceeds 1/12, it predominantly affects the physical and mechanical properties of the similar materials; when the ratio of silicone oil to white cement exceeds 1/3, it has better regulatory effects on the coefficient of permeability of similar materials. The content of purified water is negatively correlated with the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the similar materials, exerting a greater influence when it exceeds 20% of the total mass. Based on the multiple linear regression method for analyzing the test results, an empirical formula for the proportion of coral reef limestone similar materials was established. This allows for the precise calculation and formulation of different types of coral reef limestone similar materials, which can be widely applied to model testing and research in marine, geological, and geotechnical engineering.

Performance of the three-dimensional laser scanning method to monitor the moisture content of similar material models

In mining safety and other fields, similar material simulation is the main research method to study the movement and deformation of rock formation and ground surface. However, the inaccurate subsidence laws could be obtained because the strength of the composition materials like gypsum and lime is easily affected by moisture. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the moisture content when carrying simulation experiments. This paper discussed the feasibility of indirectly measuring the moisture content of similar material models using the three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning reflection intensity through three experiments on similar material specimens. The results showed that the laser reflection intensity was sensitive to the moisture content, incidence angle, and distance with three different relationships and the influence of the two factors could be weakened through the established correction models. However, it was recommended restricting the incidence angle to less than 20° and setting the distance from 4 to 10 m to reduce the complexity of correction. The accuracy of this method reached 1.1% under the monitoring condition of 4 m and the normal incidence, which could meet the requirements for monitoring the moisture content of similar material models. The research results of the paper provide a new method to monitor the moisture content in similar material models.

Mechanical Damage Test and Model Study of Layered Composite Rock Based on Acoustic Emission and DIC Characteristics

To study the mechanical damage characteristics of layered composite rocks, sandstones, and mudstones of deep tight reservoirs were used as the research objects, and layered composite class rocks were prepared by similar material model tests. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted and supplemented with AE (Acoustic Emission) system and DIC (Digital Image Correlation) system to obtain the physical and mechanical parameters such as strength and elastic modulus of the layered composite rocks. The corresponding law of AE ringing count and rock damage evolution was studied and the damage process of layered composite rock under uniaxial loading was divided into three stages: initial damage, stable damage development, and damage acceleration. Analysis of strain cloud diagrams of the DIC system revealed that the deformation characteristics of the layered composite rock under uniaxial were mainly tensile-shear-slip damage. Based on the internal damage evolution characteristics of AE and the surface damage evolution characteristics of DIC, a damage constitutive model of layered composite rocks based on the dual damage factor characterization was established, which reasonably revealed the damage evolution mechanism of internal structure development and external crack germination, extension and penetration of layered composite rocks under uniaxial compression.

Seepage Flow Properties of a Columnar Jointed Rock Mass in a True Triaxial Experiment

A columnar jointed rock mass is a type of rock mass with strong geometric anisotropy and high interface permeability. Its seepage characteristics pose new challenges to the construction and maintenance of the Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River. The research object in this study is the columnar jointed rock mass (basalt) in the dam area of Baihetan Hydropower Station. Similar-material model samples of the columnar jointed rock mass with different column dip angles ( α = 0 ° ~90°) were prepared following a similar principle. A true triaxial seepage–stress coupling test was conducted to evaluate the seepage characteristics of similar-material samples with different dip angles under intermediate principal stress and minimum principal stress. The experimental results showed that the columnar jointed rock mass exhibited apparent seepage anisotropy. The relationship curve between the volume flow rate Q and the pressure gradient − d P / d L of the samples with different dip angles showed evident nonlinear seepage under intermediate principal stress, which could be well expressed using the Forchheimer equation. It shows the characteristics of a typical linear Darcy flow under minimum principal stress. The law of variations in the permeability of the samples with different dip angles under intermediate principal stress can be well expressed using the one-dimensional quadratic function equation k = a + b σ 2 + c σ 2 2 , and the law of variations in the permeability of the samples with different dip angles under minimum principal stress can be well expressed using the logarithmic function k = a + b ln σ 3 . The permeabilities of the columnar jointed rock mass with dip angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, and 60° were most sensitive to changes in stress, and the seepage characteristics increased in complexity after changes in stress.

A DOFS-Based Approach to Calculate the Height of Water-Flowing Fractured Zone in Overlying Strata under Mining

The distributed optical fiber sensing (DOFS) is a technique that can obtain full spatial and temporal information concerning the behavior of a large range of measurand fields along a fiber path and realize the distributed monitoring of the overburden section under mining. To calculate the height of water-flowing fractured zone caused by the exploitation of coal, this study employed distributed optical fiber sensors with OSI-C-S optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technology and designed a similar-material model test based on the engineering geological conditions of Daliuta Coal Mine. Through the test, deformation characteristics of overlying strata were studied, the linear relationship was summarized between the strain gradient and the shear stress measured by fiber sensors when the rock layer cracks, and a method was proposed of using the measured strain to measure the height of the water-flowing fractured zone in overlying strata. The test results show that there are several locations where the sign of the shear stress changes (positive to negative or vice versa) in the overlying strata during the initial stage of coal seam mining. As the working face advanced, the change locations gradually concentrated at the place where the rock cracks. By identifying the breakpoints of the rock and the locations where the sign of the shear stress measured by fiber sensors changes, this paper calculated the height of the water-flowing fractured zone in Daliuta Coal Mine. After comparing the height with the abscission layer position in the model test and the predicted height by the empirical formulas in the specification, it has been found that the three results are basically consistent, which in turn verifies the accuracy of this method.

Experimental Study on Seepage Anisotropy of a Hexagonal Columnar Jointed Rock Mass

Many columnar jointed rock masses (basalt) are present at the Baihetan hydropower dam site, and their seepage characteristics have a significant impact on the project’s safety and stability. In this study, model samples consisting of material similar to the columnar jointed rock mass with different inclination angles (0°–90°) were prepared and laboratory triaxial seepage tests were performed to study the seepage characteristics of the columnar jointed rock mass under maximum axial principal stress. The experimental results showed that the similar material model samples of columnar jointed rock mass showed obvious seepage anisotropy. The nonlinear seepage characteristics were well described by the Forchheimer and Izbash equations, and the fitting coefficients of the two equations were in good correspondence. The curves describing the relationship between the inherent permeability and the stress of the samples with different dip angles were U-shaped and L-shaped, and a one-variable cubic equation well described the relationship. The 45° angle specimen had the highest sensitivity to the maximum principal stress, and its final permeability increased by 144.25% compared with the initial permeability. The research results can provide theoretical support for the stability evaluation of the Baihetan hydropower station.

Optimal Proportion of Similar Materials and Rockburst Tendency of White Sandstone

To explore the tendency of rockburst, a similar material ratio was optimised based on white sandstone. Quartz sand, iron powder, gypsum, cement, retarder, and a water‐reducing agent were used as the main materials. The orthogonal test design principle was used to determine the four‐factor and four‐level orthogonal test design with the quartz sand content, iron powder content, gypsum‐cement ratio, and sand particle size as the influencing factors. Uniaxial compression tests and tensile tests were conducted on similar material models. The tensile strength and elastic modulus were analysed, the significance of each influencing factor was investigated, and the test results of the similar materials were fitted. The optimal ratios of the similar materials of white sandstone were found to be quartz sand content of 36%, iron powder content of 1.9%, gypsum‐cement ratio of 1.8 : 1, and sand particle size of 2–4 mm. The physical and mechanical properties of the similar materials were consistent with those of white sandstone. The mechanical properties of the similar materials were compared with those of the original rock. By judging the rockburst propensity and verifying the index, it is concluded that the similar materials can effectively simulate the characteristics of white sandstone, which is an ideal similar material of rockburst, and they all show strong rockburst propensity. The rock specimens with optimal proportions were produced, and the internal energy changes and rockburst mechanisms of the model at different temperatures were discussed. The results show that the rockburst process is closely related to energy, such as thermal energy and elastic strain energy, and the rock failure process can be divided into three main stages: energy accumulation, microcrack formation and propagation, and crack penetration and bursting. It provides an experimental basis for the preparation of rockburst similar materials that are more in line with the actual situation of the project and provides a basis for discussing the energy criterion of rockburst.

Experimental development process of similar material of water resisting layer in physical model test

The stability evaluation of water resisting layer in the process of coal mining is the key to study the law of water and soil loss and prevent the loss of water resources. The development and proportioning of similar materials are the basis to study the stability of water resisting layer by physical simulation. A new type of similar material considering water characteristics was developed through orthogonal experiments. The similar material was composed of river sand, bentonite, silicone oil, vaseline, and water. Determine the best test development process. First of all, the proportion test scheme is designed based on the orthogonal test. Then, the influence of cement concentration, mass ratio of silicone oil to vaseline and other components on the density, uniaxial compressive strength, elastic model and Poisson’s ratio of similar materials was analyzed by range analysis. Finally, the multiple linear regression equation between the parameters and the composition of similar materials for water resisting layer is obtained, and the optimal composition ratio is further determined according to the relationship between the test influencing factors and the mechanical properties of similar materials. The results show that the selected raw materials and their proportioning method are feasible. The content of river sand plays a major role in controlling the density and Poisson’s ratio of similar materials. The mass ratio of aggregate to binder is the main factor affecting the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of similar materials, while the cementing concentration has the second largest influence on the density, uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio of similar materials. Determining the cementing concentration that matches the design of similar material model tests is critical to improving test accuracy and provides a reference for the preparation of similar materials for water resisting layer under different requirements during the development of similar materials.

Experimental Development Process of a New Cement and Gypsum-Cemented Similar Material considering the Effect of Moisture

A new type of similar material considering water characteristics is developed through orthogonal experiments. The similar material is composed of river sand, barite powder, cement, gypsum, and water. We determine the best test development process. First, the proportion test scheme is designed based on the orthogonal test. Then, the effects of the moisture content, mass ratio of aggregate to binder and other components on the density, uniaxial compressive strength, elastic model, and Poisson’s ratio of similar materials are analyzed by range analysis. Finally, the multiple linear regression equation between the parameters and the composition of similar materials is obtained, and the optimal composition ratio is determined according to the relationship between the test’s influencing factors and the mechanical properties of similar materials. The results show that the selected raw materials and their proportioning method are feasible. The content of barite powder plays a major role in controlling the density and Poisson’s ratio of similar materials. The mass ratio of aggregate to binder is the main factor that affects the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of similar materials, while the moisture content has the second largest effect on the density, uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson’s ratio of similar materials. When the residual moisture content increased from 0 to 4%, the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of similar materials decrease by 49.5% and 53.3%, respectively, and Poisson’s ratio increases by 54.8%. Determining the residual moisture content that matches the design of similar material model tests is critical to improving the test accuracy and provides a reference to prepare similar materials with different requirements.

Determine method of effective experimental period of similar material model for improving the simulation results

ABSTRACT Similar material simulation methods have been extensively applied to investigate stratum movement in mining technology. The similarity between similar material models and prototypes is directly associated to the reliability of simulation results. Considering that the mechanical strength changes of similar material model made at a certain ratio is closely related to its humidity and moisture content, the effective time period for simulating excavation and model monitoring should be determined based on the changes in humidity and moisture content of similar material models, but there is currently no such method. According to the relation of humidity and moisture content of the similar material model obtained through mechanical experiments, an approach is proposed for determining the effective experimental time for similar material model for coal mine stratum movement. The new device designed can effectively monitor the humidity changes of similar model materials, so that the simulation excavation and monitoring time process of similar material models can be scientifically controlled. This paper solves the difficult issue that the model dynamics similarity can hardly guarantee during the experiment of similar materials simulation, and the findings can offer a scientific basis for monitoring period of similar material models and reliability improvement for model simulation results.

Experimental Study on Overburden Deformation Evolution under Mining Effect Based on Fiber Bragg Grating Sensing Technology

In order to study the regularity of overburden deformation and mining pressure changes in the stope. Take the geological conditions of Hanglaiwan coal mine in Yushen mining area as the background, a 3000 mm×1340 mm×200 mm physical similar material model was established in laboratory. Eight fiber Bragg grating sensors were embedded in the model, used to monitor the movement and deformation of the overburden key stratum and the change of mining abutment pressure in real time and then to determine the influencing factors and strain transfer coefficients of the fiber grating through theoretical analysis and calibration experiments. The results show the following. (1) The changes in value, position, and shape of the strain can reflect the dynamic evolution process of bending deformation, breaking, and rotation of the key strata. When the key layer breaks for the first time, the strain curve shows a peak shape; when the key layer breaks periodically, the strain curve of the fiber grating sensor showed a plateau shape for a period of time. (2) The strain curve has a good corresponding relationship with the change in supporting pressure. When the strain curve of the fiber Bragg grating sensor was at the trough stage, the abutment pressure was at the peak stage, with the increase of sensor buried height, and the supporting pressure and the strain value had a linear relationship within the range of the advanced abutment pressure. The conclusion shows that the fiber Bragg grating sensor monitoring technology has good effect on the internal strain and key supporting pressure monitoring of the overburden in the model test; it provides new monitoring methods and means for the model tests.

Study on the Strata Movement Rule of the Ultrathick and Weak Cementation Overburden in Deep Mining by Similar Material Simulation: A Case Study in China

In the deep mining areas of western China, there exist ultrathick and weak cementation strata in the overburdens above the Jurassic coal seams, and the overburden lithology is generally moderately a little weaker than the medium-hard strata. Yet, the practical measurement indicates that the surface movement rule in this area displays the specialty that is apparently inconsistent with its lithology, which increases the uncertainty of safe production in coal mines. In this study, the similar material and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the movement rule and failure pattern of the ultrathick and weak cementation overburden. In addition, the photographing scale transformation-time baseline parallax (PST-TBP) method was used to monitor the similar material model to makeup for the lacks of Xi'an Jiaotong University Digital Close-range Industrial Photogrammetry System (XJTUDP) software. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows. (1) To some extent, the PST-TBP method can makeup for the deficiency of the XJTUDP software because the measurement accuracy of the PST-TBP method is 0.47 mm. (2) The height of the caving zone is approximately 66 m, and the height of the water suture zone is about 112 m, which is obviously larger than that of the medium-hard and soft overburden in eastern-central China. (3) The first breaking span of the immediate roof reaches 120 m, the cyclic fracturing length is about 60 m, and the separation occurred at 43 m and 66 m above the coal seam. (4) The failure pattern of the ultrathick and weak cementation overburden is “beam-arch shell,” and the failure boundary is arch. (5) The Zhidan group sandstone and Jurassic sandstone formations have strong control effects. The Zhidan group sandstone is the main control stratum and the Jurassic sandstone formation is the secondary-control stratum. The research results provide an insight into guiding the safe mining of deep coal in the ultrathick and weak cementation overburden.

Reinforcement Effects of Isolation Piles on the Adjacent Existing Tunnel in Building Construction

Similar material model test and numerical simulation method were used to study the reinforcement effect of isolation piles on the existing shield tunnel structure in the adjacent building construction for analyzing foundation pit excavation and new building construction approaching existing shield tunnel engineering. The numerical simulation orthogonal experiment was used to optimize four isolation pile parameters. The conclusions were obtained as follows: (1) Isolation piles could share horizontal load of the soil at the rear side of the support structure and reduce horizontal displacement of the soil. As a result, maximum horizontal displacement of the tunnel structure and differences in horizontal displacement between the tunnel structure roof and the floor after foundation pit excavation and building loading were decreased. The horizontal displacement and torsional deformation of the tunnel structure toward the direction of the foundation pit were controlled, and the increase in internal forces of the transverse tunnel structure was also restrained. (2) At the elevation above the tunnel roof, the increase in burial depth of the isolation pile top slightly affected the reinforcement effect on the tunnel structure. The increase in burial depth of the isolation pile bottom could improve the reinforcement effect. Thus, burial depth of the isolation pile bottom should be properly increased in the engineering practice. The reduction in pile spacing could improve the reinforcement effect. Accordingly, pile spacing should be properly selected in the engineering practice. With the increase of diameter of the isolation pile, the reinforcement effect of isolation piles increased obviously. (3) Pile diameter had the greatest influence on the reinforcement effect of isolation piles, followed by burial depth of the pile bottom, pile spacing, and burial depth of the pile top. Orthogonal experiments indicated the following optimal parameter values: a pile diameter of 1.2 m, a burial depth of the pile bottom of 2H, a pile spacing of 1.6 m, and a burial depth of the pile top of 0.75Z.

Deformation monitoring of similar material model based on point cloud feature extraction

Three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning technology can reconstruct target models and analyse structural characteristics, and extract complex geometric contents of target structures. Therefore, it is significant to apply 3D laser scanning technology to construct 3D digital models of the monitored objects and to extract their features to judge their movements. This paper presents deformation monitoring method of 3D point cloud based on image information. First, point cloud was first converted into a two-dimensional intensity image. Topological relations between each point can be determined clearly through the intensity image. Second, based on the wavelet modulus maxima technology, the characteristics of two-dimensional intensity images are extracted and the corresponding feature point cloud data are obtained. Finally, According to the feature of the point cloud extracted, the change is calculated to determine the deformation of the point cloud object. An experiment was conducted by using a FOCUS3D laser scanner of FARO. The experiment results further verify that the method yields a good effect of deformation monitoring.

Surface subsidence prediction method of backfill-strip mining in coal mining

Intensive and massive coal mining causes a series of geological hazards and environmental problems, especially surface subsidence. In recent years, backfill-strip mining has been applied to control mining subsidence in order to realize sustainable development of the mining environment. To accurately predict the surface subsidence of backfill-strip mining, a prediction method of subsidence superposition of backfill-strip mining is proposed on the basis of the traditional probability integral method prediction model. In analyzing the distribution of the actual subsidence space, the surface subsidence problem of backfill-strip mining can be regarded as the superposition of surface subsidence caused by backfill mining and strip mining. Then, the appropriate prediction parameters will be chosen, and the surface subsidence caused by the backfill mining and strip mining will be predicted separately. The surface subsidence values of the backfill-strip mining are equal to the superposition subsidence values predicted by the backfill mining and strip mining prediction method at the same surface location. A similar material model and a numerical simulation model have been built to verify the feasibility and accuracy of the superposition prediction method. The comparison results of the surface subsidence values show that the superposition surface subsidence prediction method is reasonable. The average relative error of this superposition prediction method is less than 6.7%, and its accuracy is 3.9%~11.4% higher than that of the conventional prediction method. The superposition prediction method can satisfy the precision requirement of engineering applications. This study provides a scientific technical reference for safe mining engineering design and surface disaster protection for backfill-strip mining.

Assessing Rockburst Hazards Using a Self-Developed Real-Time Microseismic Monitoring System in a Deep-Sea Goldmine

Deep-sea mining extracts ores on the ocean floor. During this process the sea water may flood into the mine due to rockburst hazards. This study proposes an effective method to assess rockburst hazards using a self-developed real-time microseismic monitoring system in Sanshandao goldmine (the first undersea mine in China). In addition, the wave dissimilation patterns of this mine have been elucidated by analyzing the signals obtained by the geophones embedded in a similar material model. The monitoring work started in December 2014 and ended in March 2015 in Sanshandao goldmine. To assess rockburst hazards, this study proposes several indexes including spatial-temporal distribution of microseismic events, microseismic activity rate, energy release rate, continuity index, and average daily energy. The results show that the surrounding rock went through the stationary, active, secondary stationary, and secondary active periods before rockburst occurrence. Compared with the stationary period, a sudden change of the continuity index and average daily energy can be observed in the active period in which minor rockbursts constantly occurred. Rockburst accidents are very likely to occur in the secondary active period. However, before this period, there usually exists a secondary stationary period without rockburst risk. This study proposes a workflow for designing and applying microseismic monitoring systems.
