Abstract
Shenfu Dongsheng coal field is a cross-century energy base which is developed and constructed in China. In recent years, some mines have successively entered to the coal seam of the second layer. Due to the reasons of early mining, many coal pillars are left in the coal seam of the first layer, resulting in the phenomenon of strong ore pressure in the mining range before and after the coal pillar in the lower coal seam and even causing the buckling accident. In order to solve such safety problems, this paper takes the 22,307 working face in Bulianta coal mine as the research object, adopts physical similarity simulation experiment and theoretical analysis to systematically study the overlying rock characteristics and abnormal ore pressure manifestation mechanism of shallow and close coal seam in different working stages. The results show that the roof overburden of the key layer in the lower group bends and sinks when the coal pillar is mined, resulting in the activation and instability of the "masonry beam" structure formed by the roof of the upper coal seam. When the coal pillar is discharged, the residual concentrated coal pillar and the room type coal pillar are unstable under the action of high supporting stress, resulting in shear failure of the inter-layer rock in the upper part of 22,307 working face, causing the strong dynamic pressure of the working face to appear and then leading to the buckling accident. The working resistance of the support in each stage is obtained by establishing the structure diagram of the overlying rock under each stage and the corresponding mechanical structure model. Finally, the working resistance required by the support in the mining stage under the goaf is 16,692.6 kN, the working resistance required by the support in the coal pillar stage is 19,692.6 kN, the working resistance required by the support in the mining stage under the concentrated coal pillar is 13,150.6 kN, and the working resistance required by the support in the coal pillar stage is 19,215.6 kN.
