- Abstract
According to the mine ground pressure and soil mechanics, the stress under a pillar is proportional to the coal pillar pressure and is in inverse proportion to the vertical depth and the pressure diffusion angle and is spreading along the gravity direction elliptically. In Tashan Coal Mine, by using UDEC, the stress distribution of lower seams was analyzed in three kinds of panels (panel 1, with coal unexcavated on both sides of the panel; panel 2, with coal unexcavated on one side and a pillar on the other side of the panel; and panel 3, with pillars on both sides of the panel). Numerical results show that (1) the area below the gob is a stress-reducing area and this stress is less than half of the original in situ stress and (2) the area below the pillar is a stress-increasing area and this stress is approximately 2.2∼2.8 times the stress of the primary rock, and the diffusion angle of the pillar floor is 18°∼20°. As a result, the roadway in the lower coal seam should be outside of the diffusion angle in order to avoid the influence of the stress-increasing area. The horizontal distance (starting from the edge of the upper pillar) at different depths (starting from the bottom of 2# coal) can be calculated. The roadway at the bottom of 3-5# coal (lower seam) should be set 7∼8 m outside of the upper coal pillar. The length of the panel in the lower coal seam should be approximately shorter than that of the upper panel.
