Abstract

This study considered the mining roadway with coal pillar protection in the fully mechanized caving face of the Dananhu No.1 Coal Mine, China. Theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field tests were conducted, and the stress environment, deformation, and failure characteristics of the mining roadway in the fully mechanized caving face were analyzed. The results revealed that the intrinsic cause for the large asymmetrical floor deformation in the mining roadway is the asymmetrical phenomenon of the surrounding rock’s stress environment, caused by mining. This also results in the non-uniform distribution of the mining roadway floor’s plastic zone. The degree of asymmetrical floor heave is internally related to the thickness of the caving coal. When the thickness of the caving coal was in the range of 5.9 m, the deformation of the asymmetrical floor heave, caused by the plastic failure in the floor, became more obvious as certain parameters increased. As the rotation angle of the principal stress direction increased, the maximum plastic failure depth position of the floor gradually moved toward the middle of the roadway. This caused a different distribution for the maximum deformation position. The control of the floor heave deformation was poor, and it was not feasible to use high-strength support under the existing engineering conditions. Hence, the control should mainly be applied to the floor heave deformation. When the thickness of the caving coal was more than 5.9 m, the main roof strata was prone to instability and being cut along the edge of the coal pillar; the rock stress environment surrounding the roadway tended to revert back to the initial geostress state. The proposed floor heave control strategy achieved good results, and as the deformation of the floor heave decreased, the workload of the floor heave was also greatly reduced.
