Abstract

The water inrush from the roof of the coal mine is closely related to the movement failure of overburdened rock and the height of the water-conducting fracture zone. In this work, based on the research background of water disaster prevention and control of the No. 2 coal seam roofs in Jinxinda Coal Mine, the stability characteristics of overlying rock in the working face are analyzed through combining theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. According to the theory of key strata, the fracture conditions of hard rock and soft rock are analyzed, and the maximum height of the water-conducting fracture zone in the 201 working face is calculated to be 35.72 m. The crack evolution law of composite roofs was simulated and analyzed using discrete element software. It was found that the basic roof (4.50 m thick) and the fine sandstone (7.64 m thick) are the two inferior key strata, and the maximum development height of the water-conducting crack is 36 m, which is basically consistent with the field measured results. Transient electromagnetic exploration technology was used to detect the working face, and nine abnormal areas were found. In order to prevent the influence of water disasters in abnormal areas during mining, drilling verification is carried out in abnormal areas. According to the analysis of drilling verification, there are no water disasters in the geophysical anomaly area, but the management of the roof after mining should be strengthened during mining. The expected research results not only enrich the rock formation control theory and roof water inrush mechanism; they also have important practical significance in guiding the safety production of a coal mine.
