- Abstract
To gain a deep understanding of the interaction between underground mining and mountain deformation, based on historical deformation and the UAV video, we analyzed the evolution process of deformation and failure in detail and comprehensively evaluated the slope deformation and fracture network under the action of underground mining via the bottom friction physical simulation test, DPDM technology, fractal theory, and percolation theory. We simulated the whole process of mining, deformation, and failure of the Pusa collapse. DPDM technology was employed to obtain the evolution process of the total displacement, maximum shear strain (γmax), and volumetric strain εv of the Pusa collapse and establish a relationship between the fractal dimension and settlement. Simultaneously, the fractal dimension, fracture number, fracture rate, and percolation probability of the fracture network were calculated in MATLAB software. The research results of the bottom friction physical simulation test and DPDM technology indicated that after the M10 coal seam was mined, the maximum total displacement and maximum shear strain γmax were mainly located in the direct roof, resulting in volume expansion due to the direct roof collapse. After the M14 coal seam was mined, the maximum total displacement and volume strain εv developed towards the slope top, and the maximum shear strain was located in the middle and lower parts of the model surface and the leading and trailing edges of the slope top, respectively. The research results of fractal dimension and percolation probability indicated that after the M10 coal seam was mined, the development form of the fracture network at this stage mainly entailed the formation of new fractures. After the M14 coal seam was mined, the fracture network developed from beyond this stage mainly included fracture expansion and opening. The test results are consistent with the historical change process and the UAV video showing the method and signs of deformation. These research results help to better explain the deformation evolution process of a given slope under the action of underground mining and provide a technical reference for accurate assessment and proper mitigation of similar landslide disasters.
