Abstract
The slow excavation speed of coal roadways has always been a key factor restricting the safe and efficient production of large-scale coal mines in China, and the problem of unbalanced mining replacement caused by this is widespread. This paper takes the S1231 heading face of the Ningtiaota coal mine of Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group as the research object, analyzes the characteristics of the stress evolution of coal roadway driving, reveals the principle of low-density cross-border support, and proposes a low-density cross-border support plan. Using FLAC3D to study the roadway stress-displacement evolution law of the new support scheme during the driving and mining phases, the results show that the peak stress during the driving is 5.3 MPa, and the coal pillar side stress concentration is the most obvious during the mining period, with the peak value being 7.9 MPa. The moving distances of the two banks are both 10 mm, which verifies the feasibility of low-density cross-border support. Field application shows that during roadway excavation, the amount of roof subsidence and the displacement of the two sides are 9 mm and 11 mm, respectively, and the development depth of roof cracks is controlled within 0.5 m. The overall control effect is good, and the speed of coal roadway driving is increased by 77.19% compared with the original. The new support builds a thick roof anchor structure to ensure the safety and stability of the roadway. At the same time, by reducing the number of bolts, the bolt support time has been greatly reduced, effectively alleviating the tight situation of mining replacement, and providing solutions for mines under the same conditions.
