This study established a mechanical model and used numerical simulations and field tests to show that artificial faults created by blasting can reduce the influencing range of abutment pressure and control deformation in deep coal seams.

The paper studies deep coal seam mining pressure control using artificial fault technology, developing a mechanical model based on pressure transfer and stress distribution around a fault and analyzing prefabrication support effects during roof cutting. It finds that system total energy is conserved, blasting destroys rock-layer integrity, and deformation/damage in the pressure-relief zone absorbs energy, thereby reducing the accumulated strain energy and the influence range of abutment pressure; it also reports that farther cutting from the working surface yields smaller stress differences and a less obvious blocking effect, while closer cutting yields higher abutment pressure peaks due to stress superposition. Numerical simulation results indicate that forming an artificial fault by cutting the roof can cut off the influence range of mining pressure and effectively control dynamic-pressure tunnel deformation, with field rock blasting pressure-relief engineering showing a one-third reduction in the abutment pressure influence range after pressure reduction. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Based on the pressure transfer principle and stress distribution characteristics around a fault, introducing artificial fault technology to control the propagation of abutment pressure, and a mechanical model of abutment pressure under the influence of artificial fault was established. This new mechanical model can well fit the distribution law of mining stress after roof cutting. The pressure transfer mechanism of prefabrication support of rock blasting was analyzed, and the transfer trend of pressure and the mining stress of rock top was determined. It is of great significance to guide the implementation of the pressure relief work at the top of the stope. The study shows that the total energy of the system is conserved, the integrity of rock layer is destroyed by blasting, and the deformation and damage of pressure relief zone absorb a large amount of energy. Thus, the accumulated strain energy of abutment pressure region is released, and the influencing range of abutment pressure is reduced. As the horizontal distance from the cutting surface is farther away from the working surface, the smaller the stress difference on both sides of the cutting top, the less obvious the blocking effect of mining pressure. When the cutting point is closer to the working surface, the higher the peak value of abutment pressure due to the superposition of peripheral stress concentration caused by the cutting and peak of abutment pressure caused by mining. Then, the numerical simulation analysis was carried out, the results show that the technology of forming artificial fault by cutting the top can cut off the influence range of the mining pressure. It can effectively control the deformation of dynamic pressure tunnl. Finally, a practice of rock blasting pressure relief engineering was carried out, and the influencing range of abutment pressure of working face before blasting pressure reduction was reduced by 1/3 compared with that before the pressure relief.

introducing artificial fault technology to control the propagation of abutment pressure, and a mechanical model of abutment pressure under the influence of artificial fault was established. This new mechanical model can well fit the distribution law of mining stress after roof cutting. The pressure transfer mechanism of prefabrication support of rock blasting was analyzed, and the transfer trend of pressure and the mining stress of rock top was determined. It is of great significance to guide the implementation of the pressure relief work at the top of the stope. The study shows that the total energy of the system is conserved, the integrity of rock layer is destroyed by blasting, and the deformation and damage of pressure relief zone absorb a large amount of energy. Thus, the accumulated strain energy of abutment pressure region is released, and the influencing range of abutment pressure is reduced. As the horizontal distance from the cutting surface is farther away from the working surface, the smaller the stress difference on both sides of the cutting top, the less obvious the blocking effect of mining pressure. When the cutting point is closer to the working surface, the higher the peak value of abutment pressure due to the superposition of peripheral stress concentration caused by the cutting and peak of abutment pressure caused by mining. Then, the numerical simulation analysis was carried out, the results show that the technology of forming artificial fault by cutting the top can cut off the influence range of the mining pressure. It can effectively control the deformation of dynamic pressure tunnl. Finally, a practice of rock blasting pressure relief engineering was carried out, and the influencing range of abutment pressure of working face before blasting pressure reduction was reduced by 1/3 compared with that before the pressure relief.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Study on Mining Pressure Control of Deep Coal Seam——Based on Artificial Fault Technology","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2021-03-23 22:32:45","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-333799/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"edfefa29-0846-4023-8283-c170fff59845","owner":[],"postedDate":"March 23rd, 2021","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":3172212,"name":"Civil Engineering"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2021-04-08T16:59:04+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2021-03-23 22:32:45","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-333799","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-333799","identity":"rs-333799","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"FbvkV6FR0MCFSLy54lSbu","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}

My notes (saved in your browser only)

Ask this paper AI returns verbatim quotes from the full text · source: preprint-html

Answers must be backed by verbatim quotes from this paper's full text. Hallucinated quotes are dropped automatically; if no verbatim passage answers the question, we say so. How this works
