Abstract Scientific mining is based on breaking regularity of roof above underground working face in coal mine. In order to explore the primary breaking pattern of main roof above the first working face, on account of theory of thin elastic plate, development of the breaking in each region of main roof is analyzed and the breaking sequence of each region is explored in virtue of main bending moment taken as the breaking parameter. The results indicate that the first broken point of main roof is midpoint of the long side. The breaking, which occurs on the top surface of main roof, is caused by the second main bending moment. The fracture in long side region starts from midpoint of the long side and develops along the length direction of the working face. The fracture in middle region starts from the center of main roof and develops along the length direction of the working face. The fracture in short side region starts from midpoint of the short side and develops along advance direction of the working face. There always is an extreme value order of control moment in each region, Mc > Mz > Md, when a single parameter is within a reasonable range. Due to this, the breaking sequence is the long side region, the middle region and the short side region although they end up with the same breaking pattern O-X. Mc, Mz and Md depend on the advance distance of working face and increase linearly with transverse loading. Besides, the short side of main roof becomes stable with the increase of the length of working face. Revealing the primary breaking pattern of main roof above the first working face contributes to learning breaking behavior of main roof and providing theoretical support for design of the working face and roof management.

Taking the occurrence conditions of the hard main roof in the deep 13-1 coal mining roadway in Huainan mining area as the research object, based on the mechanical parameters of the surrounding rock and the stress state of the main roof obtained by numerical simulation, a simply supported beam calculation model was established based on the damage factor D, main roof support reaction RA, RB, and critical range C (9 m) and B (7 m) at the elastoplastic junction of the solid coal side and mining face side (hereinafter referred to as “junction”). Considering that the damage area still has a large bearing capacity, the vertical stress of the main roof at the junction is K1γH (0.05γh, 0.15γh, and 0.25γh) and K2γH (0.01γh, 0.10γh, and 0.2γh). The maximum deflection is 21 mm, 324 mm, and 627.6 mm, respectively. According to the criterion of tensile failure, the maximum bending moment of the top beam is 209 mN·m at the side of the working face 3.1 m away from the roadway side when K1 = 0.15 and K2 = 0.10, and the whole hard main roof is in tensile failure except the junction. To control the stability of the top beam and simplify the supporting reaction to limit the deformation of the slope angle, RC and RD are used to construct the statically indeterminate beam. By adding an anchor cable and advance self-moving support to the roadway side angle, the problem of difficult control of the surrounding rock with a large deformation of the side angle roof is solved, which provides a reference for roof control under similar conditions.

With the deployment of China’s energy strategy in the western regions, complex geological mining conditions such as thin bedrock and ultrathick seams in western China have caused a series of problems such as serious deformation of the surrounding rock at the ends of the working face and the increase in the lead abutment pressure of the roadways; the research on end roof deformation in the resource exploitation in western China has become one of the great demands of the industry. Based on the failure characteristics of rock mass, relying on the actual mining geological conditions of a coal mine in Inner Mongolia, the failure characteristics of the overlying rock strata under the influence of mining were simulated and analyzed using similar material simulation experiment, which intuitively reproduced the failure and deformation processes of the immediate roof, main roof, and key strata and revealed the mechanical mechanism of the directional weakening of the end roof. It is of great significance for the stability control of the surrounding rock at the end of the fully mechanized caving face in the thin bedrocks and ultrathick seams, reducing the abutment pressure of gate roadway and controlling the spontaneous combustion of residual coal in the goaf.

Contrast simulation analysis under different cutting distance between top lane, cut the top lane area stress state, according to different stress state analysis of the optimal cutting top lane spacing, so as to realize the optimization of cutting top lane setting parameters.Results show that due to the inhomogeneity of rock strength, the main roof breaking are mainly shear stress play a role, as a result, the vertical stress of roof fracture need conditions may be much smaller than mine pressure strength limit.Considering cutting top lane for the larger spacing, cutting the top coal lane area of stress concentration degree is higher, easy to cause impact danger, from this aspect to consider cutting the top lane spacing should be small as far as possible, but the spacing is too small and cut the top lane roadway of quantities will increase, at the same time has the potential to cut two top lane of the superposition of stress, high impact and increase the working face danger.

Based on the occurrence conditions of a thick and hard main roof and wedge-structure immediate roof in the Zhuxianzhuang Coal Mine, the fracture characteristics and instability migration law of a thick and hard roof (THR) were examined via physical simulations. Mining zones were divided with respect to the strata behaviors and roof control difficulty levels, and the principles and methods of zonal control under THR were put forward. This study proposed a coordinated control strategy of using confined blasting in water-filled deep holes, and reasonable support optimization, which could effectively reduce the roof fracture size, increases the supporting intensity and eliminate roof-control disasters. The length of confined blasting blocks and supporting intensity were calculated using a mechanical model for roof control in the strong strata behavior zone and less-strong strata behavior zone. These key parameters were determined as 20–25 m and 1.15–1.28 MPa, respectively, and the mining strategy was successfully applied in working face 880, performing high security and reasonable economical efficiency.

In order to realize the safe and efficient mining of the short-distance isolated island working face under the deep goaf area, the 120502 isolated island working face of Liuzhuang Mine was taken as the engineering background. The method of combining numerical simulation and field measurement were used comprehensively to systematically simulate and study the spatial evolution of the stress field, plastic strain field, and fracture field of coal rock during the mining process. The leading support pressure and the vertical displacement of the roof in the overlapping section and noncoinciding section of the isolated working face and the goaf above were measured on site. The results are that the peak value of the advanced support pressure of the overlap section and the nonoverlapping section is 10 m before the coal wall of the working face; the advanced support pressure of the nonoverlapping section is 33.3 MPa, and the vertical displacement of the roof is 300 mm. The advanced support pressure and the vertical displacement of the roof in the noncoincidence section were significantly higher than those in the coincidence section of 18.2 MPa and 210 mm. The results are consistent with those predicted by numerical simulation. This provides theoretical support for the safe mining of the 120502 isolated island working face in Liuzhuang Mine and, at the same time, provides a reference for the study of similar working faces in other domestic mining areas.

This paper presents an integrated approach for analytical analysis and field tests to estimate the break line in a main roof over the goaf edge. An analytical model which treated the main roof as a beam seating on the Winkler foundation and subjected to nonuniformity roof loading was established. Further analysis of the bending moment distribution of such a main roof beam was undertaken. Based on the geological conditions pertaining to a case study at Wangjialing coal mine, Shanxi Province, China, the break line in the main roof in a typical longwall panel was calculated in the rib-sides at a distance of 5.6 to 7.4 m from the goaf edge. The influence of main roof flexural rigidity and foundation rigidity and so forth on the bending moment distribution was revealed by a parametric study. Borehole camera detection was employed to further validate the analytical model and its results. The results of the field test demonstrated that the break line detected in the main roof was about 5.5 to 6.8 m away from the goaf edge, which was in good agreement with the analytical model.

Gob-side entry retaining through precut overhanging hard roof (GERPOHR) method is one of the commonly used methods for nonpillar mining. However, feasibility studies of controlling rockburst by this method are few. Rockburst occurs in hard thick strata with a higher probability, larger scale, and higher risk. To better understand the GERPOHR method is beneficial for rockburst mitigation. In this paper, the design of GERPOHR was first introduced. And the layout of the working face was optimized. Then, based on the numerical simulation, the stress and displacement distribution characteristics were compared under the condition of conventional mining and GERPOHR method. The research shows that the intervals of main roof weighting could be decreased through the precut overhanging hard roof method. And the peak value of abutment pressure decreased. Meanwhile, the energy accumulation and the stress fluctuation could be alleviated in roadway surrounding rock.

Purpose The study of the friction law and wear characteristics of the middle trough material can better select the appropriate material for the scraper conveyor of fully mechanized working face and provide theoretical support for the wear-resistant treatment technology. Design/methodology/approach This paper investigated friction and wear of the middle trough in a scraper conveyor under different media. Lignite, coking coal and anthracite were selected media, and middle trough wear was maximum for anthracite and minimum for lignite, with coking coal being intermediate. Findings Wear increased linearly with increasing load nonlinearly with increasing sliding speed. Middle trough wear also increased with increasing media granularity up to approximately 0.4 mm (40 mesh), but had little effect beyond that. Originality/value It can provide a reference for the scraper conveyor running resistance. At the same time, it has great social significance and economic benefits for the safe, green and efficient coal mine industrial adjustment, etc.

Abstract A steep seam similar simulation system was developed based on the geological conditions of a steep coal seam in the Xintie Coal Mine. Basing on similar simulation, together with theoretical analysis and field measurement, an in-depth study was conducted to characterize the fracture and stability of the roof of steep working face and calculate the width of the region backfilled with gangue in the goaf. The results showed that, as mining progressed, the immediate roof of the steep face fell upon the goaf and backfilled its lower part due to gravity. As a result, the roof in the lower part had higher stability than the roof in the upper part of the working face. The deformation and fracture of main roof mainly occurred in the upper part of the working face; the fractured main roof then formed a “voussoir beam” structure in the strata’s dip direction, which was subjected to the slip- and deformation-induced instability. The stability analysis indicated that, when the dip angle increased, the rock masses had greater capacity to withstand slip-induced instability but smaller capacity to withstand deformation-induced instability. Finally, the field measurement of the forces exerted on the hydraulic supports proved the characteristics of the roof’s behaviors during the mining of a steep seam.
