- Abstract
At present, research on the failure laws and depths of coal seam floors mainly concentrates on the working surface level, and there are few studies focused on the entire mining area. For this study, the No. 12 coal mine in Pingdingshan, China, was selected as the study site. Combining field tests, numerical simulations, and the vulnerability index method, the prediction of the destroyed floor depth was studied for the whole mining area. The ultrasonic detection method was used to measure the floor failure depth in two working faces, which laid the foundation for later numerical simulation. The orthogonal test results from a FLAC3D numerical simulation were analyzed using the deviation analysis method, and the weight of each factor influencing floor failure was determined. Based on the borehole exploration data of the mining area and the graphic superposition function of GIS, the vulnerability zoning model of the coal seam floor in the mining area was established. Through a comparison with the predictive values of the floor damage depth of the typical working faces, the corresponding relationship between the floor damage depth and the fragility zone was established. The following results were obtained: the six factors that affect the floor damage depth in order of weight were the working face oblique length, roof lithology combination, mining depth, floor lithology combination, coal thickness, and coal seam inclination, respectively. When the degree of the coal floor vulnerability increases by 1 level, the depth of damage increased by 5 m; the predicted values of the floor damage depth of the mining area were from 14.45 m to 30.84 m. The prediction of the floor failure depth based on the improved vulnerability index method is a new method for the study of the floor failure depth of coal seams in mining areas.
