The former Northern Coalfield, comprising much of the Newcastle‐Maitland‐Cessnock‐Lake Macquarie region, has now been mined for two hundred years. Most of the twenty‐odd seams in the Newcastle, Tomago and Greta Coal Measures have been worked, but the bulk of production has been drawn from just four coalbeds: the Borehole, Greta, Homeville and Great Northern Seams. Literally hundreds of mine names are on record for the coalfield, the great majority working these seams at depths of less than 30 m. This paper reviews regional subsidence problems in the context of mining history, past mining practices and coal measures geology. Subsidence over shallow bord‐and‐pillar workings may result in highly disturbed ground, open fissures, cratering, seam fires and ‘creeps’ (slow surface movements caused by gradual closure of mine cavities). This form of subsidence differs from that over modern longwall mines in being less predictable, affecting much smaller areas, and occurring sometimes decades after mine abandonment. The geological factors contributing to this subsidence hazard include the multiplicity of seams, the strong roof sandstones, stiff coal and relatively soft floors, and the presence of faults and dykes. The working of thick seams like the Borehole Coal in up to three phases, leaving high, slender pillars, also contributed to later ground instability. Contrary to expectation, the main problem areas are not over haphazardly laid‐out convict‐era pits, but rather above small hand‐worked scavenger mines (‘ratholes’) which operated as late as the 1950s. Many of these short‐lived collieries still contain large voids at shallow depth, sometimes only a few metres, which must eventually collapse or be backfilled. 相似文献

Sinkhole subsidence due to mining 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2
This paper reviews the modes of formation of sinkhole subsidence associated with mining activities, drawing on examples in India. Sinkhole (pot-hole) subsidence is an abrupt local depression at the surface which can be hazardous to life and property due to its tendency to occur without warning. Shallow extraction, weak overburden and geological discontinuities are the main factors which cause them. Sinkholes occur due to the failure of a mine roof which migrates through the overlying strata until the failure zone intercepts the unconsolidated overburden. Alternatively they may occur by the creation of cavities in the overburden following the inflow of sand and soil from the overlying weathered and friable strata through faults. Overburden cavities eventually cave in and sinkholes appear at the surface. Sinkholing phenomena can be controlled to some extent by proper design of mining supports and construction of walls to create a barrier around an area prone to sinkholes in bord and pillar workings. Backfilling and grouting can be used to stabilize abandoned underground workings. 相似文献

Investigations were carried out at seven underground coal mines in India to characterise the responses of roof and pillars of underground workings to the vibrations induced by adjacent open-pit blasting. The roof rocks of the selected underground instrumented panels were having RMR between 36.7 to 57. Monitoring of strata behaviour was carried out before and after blasts. Arrangements were made to mount the transducers of seismographs in roof and pillars to monitor the vibration. Attempts were made to monitor the vibration simultaneously, for a blast, in the pillar and at the junction of the roof or away from the junction in the gallery. 102 sets of such vibration data were recorded in the underground mines. It was observed that the roof of underground roadways vibrated with higher peak particle velocity (PPV) compared to pillars. The amplification of vibration in the roof compared to pillars, away from the junction, was 1.02 to 2.58 times whereas at the junctions, it was 2.04 to 5.57 times. 相似文献

煤岩层对比工作贯穿于整个煤炭地质勘查与矿井生产阶段的全过程,针对近距离、多煤层且构造复杂的矿井生产阶段煤岩层对比困难的问题,以贵州盘县煤田火烧铺煤矿为研究对象,通过对地质勘查资料的分析,结合地面瓦斯勘查钻孔、井下地质调查、瓦斯参数测试工程从地质勘查阶段已经建立的煤岩层对比标志层中提取适应于矿井生产阶段的标志层;结合矿井生产过程中井筒、巷道、工作面及其两巷道、切眼等井巷工程生产揭露资料的宏/微观煤岩、煤质化验、煤层顶底板岩石力学、煤层的光学特征等资料,提炼矿井生产过程中基于开采技术条件的煤岩层对比的标志;综合地质勘查与矿井生产阶段重新构建矿井生产阶段煤岩层综合对比标准体系。研究表明:地质勘查阶段构建的煤岩层对比标志层在矿井生产阶段岩性组合、地球物理测井曲线,高位标志性岩层以及古生物化石层基本上失去了指导意义,而煤层结构、伪顶或低位直接顶板古生物化石层、岩性标志层仍具有指导意义,可以指导实践生产;矿井生产阶段大量的地层倾角数据、宏/微观煤岩组分特征、煤层夹矸岩性,尤其是可见光、热红外等光学特征,煤层瓦斯含量、压力参数,煤层顶底板岩石力学参数等是煤岩层对比的良好标志层;构建的煤岩层综合对比技术体系可以有效地指导煤矿巷道高效掘进、工作面快速回采并识别断层发育特征。研究成果不仅可以指导煤矿井下生产工作而且可以为构造复杂区的煤矿井下工作面智能化开采提供基础地质资料,为煤矿安全、高效、智能化开采提供地质保障技术。 相似文献

Sensitivity analysis of support safety factor for predicting the effects of contributing parameters on roof falls in underground coal mines 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Roof falls accounted for 18.18% of all fatal accidents in Indian coal mines, contributing about 35.29% of all fatal accidents in below-ground operations in 2005. The support safety factor, always preferred in support planning and design of underground coal mines, may be an important predictor for roof falls. In this paper, geotechnical data were collected from 14 roof fall incident places in an underground coal mine, located in the Eastern India, which has bord and pillar method of workings. The mean value of probabilistic support safety factor for the case study mine was found to be 1.24. However, the probability, of the estimated support safety factor of less than or equal to one, was found to be 0.246. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of the contributing parameters on support safety factor and the likelihood of the roof fall. The multi-variate regression analysis was carried out for the data generated by Monte Carlo method to correlate the contributing factors to support safety factor. It ranked gallery width as the first parameter to control the support safety factor. 相似文献

Roadway instability has always been a major concern in deep underground coal mines where the surrounding rock strata and coal seams are weak and the in situ stresses are high. Under the high overburden and tectonic stresses, roadways could collapse or experience excessive deformation, which not only endangers mining personnel but could also reduce the functionality of the roadway and halt production. This paper describes a case study on the stability of roadways in an underground coal mine in Shanxi Province, China. The mine was using a longwall method to extract coal at a depth of approximately 350 m. Both the coal seam and surrounding rock strata were extremely weak and vulnerable to weathering. Large roadway deformation and severe roadway instabilities had been experienced in the past, hence, an investigation of the roadway failure mechanism and new support designs were needed. This study started with an in situ stress measurement programme to determine the stress orientation and magnitude in the mine. It was found that the major horizontal stress was more than twice the vertical stress in the East–West direction, perpendicular to the gateroads of the longwall panel. The high horizontal stresses and low strength of coal and surrounding rock strata were the main causes of roadway instabilities. Detailed numerical modeling was conducted to evaluate the roadway stability and deformation under different roof support scenarios. Based on the modeling results, a new roadway support design was proposed, which included an optimal cable/bolt arrangement, full length grouting, and high pre-tensioning of bolts and cables. It was expected the new design could reduce the roadway deformation by 50 %. A field experiment using the new support design was carried out by the mine in a 100 m long roadway section. Detailed extensometry and stress monitorings were conducted in the experimental roadway section as well as sections using the old support design. The experimental section produced a much better roadway profile than the previous roadway sections. The monitoring data indicated that the roadway deformation in the experimental section was at least 40–50 % less than the previous sections. This case study demonstrated that through careful investigation and optimal support design, roadway stability in soft rock conditions can be significantly improved. 相似文献

确定合理的区段煤柱宽度及巷道支护型式和参数,对于提高资源回采率和巷道安全性及实现综放开采高产高效意义重大。以王家岭煤矿20103区段运输平巷为工程背景,采用FLAC3D数值分析了不同煤柱宽度下围岩主应力差、变形及破坏演化规律,认为合理煤柱宽度为6～10 m,并结合实际地质和生产条件确定试验巷道煤柱宽度为8 m。采用理论分析和现场钻孔窥视方法综合确定基本顶断裂线位于距采空区约7 m处,认为由于综放沿空巷道围岩性质结构和应力分布沿巷道中心线呈明显非对称性,将引发煤柱侧顶板严重下沉和肩角部位煤岩体错位、嵌入、台阶下沉等非对称破坏特征,靠煤柱侧顶板及肩角部位是巷道变形破坏的关键部位。在此研究基础上,针对性地提出了以高强锚梁网、不对称锚梁、锚索桁架为主体的综合控制技术,详细阐明了具体支护措施的控制机制,并进行现场应用。工程实践表明,8 m煤柱宽度合理,该支护技术能够保证窄煤柱沿空巷道围岩稳定,并已在王家岭煤矿大面积推广应用,对类似工程条件的支护技术具有一定的理论意义和实用价值。 相似文献

The presence of hard and massive sandstone above the coal seam in underground coal mines often leads to delay in caving of overlying rock beds thereby causing excessive load on supports and posing danger to underground workings. The problem is more prominent in blasting gallery (BG) as well as longwall mining methods in Indian coal mines. Induced caving by blasting is a promising means for hard roof management in underground coal mines. Based on extensive studies and data collected from different mines in India, a Blastability Index (BI) has been developed which can be used for the classification of roof according to the degree of ease in caving by induced blasting. Different charge factors have also been suggested based on the Blastability Index. Due to wide change in the method of extractions, ??Cavability Index?? for longwall panel was found ineffective in case of BG method of working as well as bord and pillar working. For this reason, this proposed Blastability Index would be of immense help for caving of hard roof by induced blasting. 相似文献

倾斜煤层沿空半煤岩巷由于围岩结构的非对称性和非均质性,受采掘扰动影响,巷道围岩呈现更严重的变形破坏。为揭示不同基本顶断裂形式对倾斜煤层沿空半煤岩巷围岩稳定性的影响规律,采用数值模拟方法针对该类巷道4种基本顶断裂形式下巷道围岩变形特征进行了研究。结果表明:基本顶断裂线位置对该类巷道围岩稳定性的影响程度由小到大依次为:采空区侧、煤柱上方、实体煤侧、巷道上方;基本顶断裂线位于采空区侧时,煤柱轴向、横向应力增速均小于其他情况,垂直位移也最小,煤柱变形在允许范围内,可保持后期对顶板的支承能力,对巷道维护最有利。在此基础上,以贵州某矿1511工作面回风巷为工程背景进行了工业试验,通过理论计算和现场钻孔探测综合分析得出,为避免基本顶断裂线位于煤柱上方靠巷道侧,下一步掘进时煤柱宽度应由3 m改为5 m。掘采期间断面检测结果显示,断面最大收缩率为23.3％,最大非对称变形率为5.2％,巷道整体均匀协调变形,进一步验证了研究成果的可靠性。 相似文献

The effect of faults on seismicity has been investigated for mining-induced seismicity associated with coal extraction in the North Staffordshire Coalfield, U.K. The studies show that seismic events occur if the mine workings cause the redistribution of strata pressure in such a way that sliding movements take place along major faults. In particular, movements occur when the active longwall face is driven in the footwall of the faults and parallel to the fault plane. 相似文献

Composite statistical analysis of the lithological composition of the rock mass above underground workings in coal seams and experimental work (laboratory mechanical tests and boring for the determination of hollows) in Donetsk city (Ukraine) have been used to develop a method for predicting the presence of hollows. The empirical criteria K1–K2>0 and K32.5 which relate to the physical characteristics of the overlying strata were found to predict the existence of such hollows in abandoned underground workings at shallow depth. The values of K1–K2 and K3 depend on the thicknesses of the different rock layers and the uniaxial compressive strength of the immediate roof over underground openings. The different layers e.g. sandstones, argillites, aleurolites and alluvium in the rock mass are shown to influence the existence of hollows in abandoned workings. Large thicknesses of sandstones in the rock mass or relatively high uniaxial compressive strength rock in the immediate roof contribute to the existence of hollows in abandoned workings. On the other hand, sandstones of small thickness, weak alluvium, argillites and aleurolites only give additional weight on immediate roof of the opening and allow collapse of the rock mass. The method of prediction for hollows was developed from the back-analysis of data from 41 boreholes which were drilled from the ground surface above underground openings. 相似文献

为解决超长工作面过大断面空巷极易发生片帮和大面积冒顶等难题,以晋城成庄矿某超长工作面为背景,建立大断面空巷的三维模型,将工作面顶板划分为煤柱顶板、空巷顶板和待采区顶板3部分。通过理论分析,推导了煤柱失稳的判据,并利用FLAC3D数值模拟分析了大断面空巷顶板应力演化过程。结果表明:煤柱宽度W≤40 m时,工作面超前支承应力与空巷超前支承应力在煤柱上叠加,煤柱开始发生塑性变形;W≤10 m时,煤柱顶板应力逐渐达到峰值16.6 MPa,煤柱发生破坏并失去承载能力,工作面超前支承应力向待采区转移,空巷顶板应力达到峰值12.7 MPa。根据空巷顶板应力演化规律,确定高水材料充填支柱支护的合理强度及空巷两帮煤壁注浆加固的时机,辅以空巷锚索梁补强,提出了大断面空巷综合治理措施,现场应用效果良好。 相似文献

特厚煤层小煤柱沿空掘巷数值分析及应用 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
沿空掘巷开采技术成功的关键主要取决于采场覆岩稳定的时间和沿空掘巷的位置。采场采动岩体运动导致围岩应力重新分布,动态采场应力作用于围岩并使其状态发生灾变是发生矿山灾害的根本原因。特厚煤层分层综采巷道布置（包括内错、外错和垂直）,合理确定煤柱尺寸、巷道支护方式和参数选择能够最大可能发挥围岩的自承能力,是提高巷道稳定的重要保证。在稳定的内应力场范围内布置小煤柱护巷,能够明显提高巷道围岩稳定状态,减少巷道维护费用。通过理论分析、数值模拟和现场实测等方法,对特厚煤层下分层沿空掘巷小煤柱不同巷道布置设计,通过煤柱的应力、应变和位移进行对比分析,确定特厚煤层下分层沿空掘巷合理的巷道位置和煤柱尺寸及上覆岩层防控技术,并得到工程验证是正确可靠的,从而为特厚煤层小煤柱开采技术提供了重要的科学依据。 相似文献

Influenced by mining activities in adjacent coal seams, stresses on rocks surrounding roadway were redistributed, and the roadways in lower coal seam were subjected to the asymmetrical roof falling and roof sagging. Considering stresses effect on the plastic zone around the roadway, numerical models were carried out by FLAC to investigate plastic zone with respect to stress ratio and direction of stresses. The relationship between the properties of surrounding rock and plastic zone boundary was also investigated by another numerical model and analytical study, whereby the tailgate stability of panel 30,501 in Tashan coal mine was implemented. It is shown that the rocks surrounding a roadway in the lower coal seam were subjected to unequal stresses, and the principal stress direction was deflected from the original direction. High stresses and big stress ratio can produce butterfly-shaped or X-shaped plastic zone. The direction of stresses was deflected, causing the plastic zone around the roadway to be transferred from the shoulder to the roof of the roadway. Consequently, asymmetrical stresses produce asymmetrical plastic zone. On this basis, the tailgate should be assigned conditions of the stresses and stress ratio at a low level. In this way, the tailgate was arranged at the position where the horizontal distance from the roadway in the lower seam to the centre line of the coal pillar in the upper seam (x) is 52.5 m, and was stable relatively. 相似文献
