Abstract:
Most coal mines in China are opting for deep mining due to the rapid reduction of shallow coal reserves, which increases the risk of water-inrush accidents. Given the limitation of water-inrush coefficient method in evaluating the risk of water inrush from the coal seam floor, we analyzed the permeability resistance of the floor under different lithology combinations, and structural conditions of the lower group coal in Yanzhou mining area, based on the in situ pressure permeability test data. Our comprehensive analysis of the influencing factors of water inrush from the coal seam floor reveals key indices for evaluating the water inrush from the coal seam floor and also recommend values for average water-resistance strength of the different lithology, and structure of the lower coal seam floor of Xinglongzhuang coal mine. Besides, we establish a model based on the water-resistance conditions, and two adjacent lower coal working faces minefields of Xinglongzhuang coal mine in Yanzhou are used for the evaluation. Comparative analysis of water-inrush coefficient method and impermeability resistance condition to evaluate the applicability of safety conditions of coal mining under pressure are also performed. Our results show that the impermeability strength is a better measurement for the water-resistance capacity of the floor. These findings may guide the prevention and control of water disasters in coal mining under pressure in the lower formation of the minefield.
