Abstract

Water inrush disasters from the coal seam floor occur frequently due to the high water pressure of the Ordovician limestone aquifer, multiple aquifers and strong mining disturbance. We presented a model of water-resisting key strata (WRKS) to investigate the mechanism of floor water inrush from multiple aquifers in deep coal mines. Roof hydraulic fracturing (RHF) for controlling floor water inrush and multi-parameter monitoring were proposed and validated in the Xingdong coal mine in Xingtai, Hebei Province. The results indicated that the periodic weighting step of the test working face after RHF was 9.53 m, which was 61.42% less than that of the working face without RHF (24.7 m). The floor failure depth was 30 m, which was 34.4% less than that of the zones without RHF (45.7 m). Hydraulic fracturing weakened the strength of the overlying strata to control the weighting step and reduce the mining disturbance stress, and the stability of the floor WRKS was enhanced, thereby preventing water inrush from the coal seam floor. The research results provide a solution for preventing floor damage and floor water inrush under strong mining disturbance and in complex hydrogeological environments in deep mining.
