Abstract:
The planned viaduct in Jining, Shandong is a priority project in the city. However, the 63 working faces of a mine in Jining is only 3 m away from the planned viaduct, posing a serious threat to the safety of the viaduct's construction. Consequently, it is essential to evaluate the stability of the planned viaduct's goaf area under the influence of the 63 working faces. However, the 63 working faces are short faces, and there is a lack of corresponding prediction of surface residual subsidence. To address this issue, this paper employs theoretical analysis and numerical simulation to uncover the foundation deformation mechanism and characteristics of fractured rock and soil mass in the short goaf. Subsequently, a residual subsidence prediction method for the short goaf was proposed for the viaduct mined-out area. This new approach was implemented for the planned viaduct in Jining, and its effectiveness was validated through InSAR and leveling monitoring results. The research findings offer technical support for viaduct construction in areas affected by underground mining.
