Abstract:
To study and prevent bed separation water inrush accidents in coal mines, it is necessary to evaluate the risk according to the limited geological data correctly. In this work, based on hydrogeological and mining conditions, we established a risk evaluation model and selected seven important factors, including the aquifer thickness, aquifer water abundance, hydraulic pressure of the aquifer, effective aquifuge thickness, mining failure ratio, mining height of the working face, and advancing distance as evaluation indexes. The intuitionistic fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (IFAHP) and entropy weight method (EWM) were used to analyze the weights of the original data, and the minimum information entropy principle was used to further integrate the abovementioned calculation results. With the weight results, set pair analysis-variable fuzzy set (SPA-VFS) theory was applied to determine the risk grade of each working face, which provided scientific guidance for the safe mining of coal mines. For the working face where water inrush may occur, the risk of bed separation water inrush can be reduced by optimizing the parameters or changing the mining conditions through the model analysis.
