Abstract
To address the issue of roadway support failure in narrow coal pillars under dual-lane layout, this study takes the 4309 working face of Changping Coal Mine as the engineering background and employs theoretical calculations, numerical simulations, and on-site monitoring to investigate the instability mechanisms of narrow coal pillars under dual-lane conditions and to optimize technical solutions. The results indicate that the internal stress distribution within the coal pillar is influenced by the advanced support stress, and as the working face advances, the gradually increasing advanced support pressure causes the vertical stress peak within the coal pillar to shift away from the goaf area. Computational analysis reveals that the vertical stress in the top region of a 6 m narrow coal pillar is 38% higher than that in the bottom region, with an average stress of 16 MPa in the coal pillar. The asymmetric high-level stress concentration within the coal pillar significantly affects its stability. A UDEC (Universal Distinct Element Code) model was established to compare four simulation schemes with cut-off angles of 0°, 5°, 10°, and 15°. Based on the analysis of damage parameters and fracture distribution in the narrow coal pillar roadway, it was concluded that the stability is best when the cut-off angle is 10°. The dense drilling cut-off unloading technology was applied to the 4309 working face of the Changping Mine based on the aforementioned research. On-site monitoring results show that the relative deformation of the roof and bottom plates and the two sides of the test section were controlled within 267 mm and 198 mm, respectively, effectively resolving the deformation and instability issues of the narrow coal pillars.

Qin H, Zhao Y, Wang H, Ge L, Tong X. Damage prediction and improvement method based on cutting mode of circular empty hole. Sci Rep 2024; 14:11322. [PMID: 38760393 PMCID: PMC11101616 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61599-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Based on the theory of empty hole effect of cutting blasting, the Hopkinson effect and Saint-Venant principle are integrated to establish a two-dimensional calculation model of dynamic stress evolution of the holes wall, and then the dynamic fracture mechanism and damage distribution mode of the rock mass in the cutting area under the action of longitudinal waves are predicted. The results of the calculation and numerical simulation are verified by experiments, and the results show that: The time-varying stress function of the circular cavity wall conforms to the periodic dynamic evolution of the trigonometric function, and the theoretical calculation is consistent with the simulation results. Through the calculation of the round holes cut model and the square empty hole cut model, the change of the shape of the holes in the cut area changes the failure form of the surrounding rock mass. The circular empty hole wall is affected by the stress wave to produce "interval ring" destruction, and the effect of the reflected stretch wave is inhibited. The large range of rock mass in the square empty hole wall produces tensile and shear failure, and the rock mass collapses inward under the influence of the second stage stress. Among them, the empty space utilization rate of the square empty hole model is about 8.5 times that of the circular holes model. Vibration monitoring in the center of the cutting area shows that the vibration effect of the circular empty hole is larger than that of the square empty hole, and the proportion of rock breaking energy is lower.
