Study on the Influence of Mining Stress on the Sustainable Utilization of Floor Roadway in Qinan Coal Mine

Aiming at the problem of large deformations and difficult maintenance of cross-mining floor roadways, taking the track transportation roadway of the cross-mining east wing floor in Qinan Coal Mine as the engineering background, the stress field distribution of mining stress in floor strata and surrounding rock of floor roadway during the cross-mining process of the working face is studied by combining theoretical analysis with numerical simulation. The results show that the influence of mining stress on the vertical stress of floor strata is reflected in the stress-increasing area in front of the coal wall and the stress-decreasing area in the rear of the coal wall. With the increase in the depth of the floor strata, the peak value of the vertical stress gradually decreases, and the distance from the peak value of the vertical stress to the coal wall and the influence range of the vertical stress gradually increases. When the width of the coal pillar is greater than the influence range of advance abutment pressure of the working face, the development speed of the plastic zone is slow. When the roadway is located in the influence range of advance abutment pressure, the plastic zone of the roadway’s surrounding rock develops rapidly. When the working face crosses the floor roadway more than 10 m, the depth of the plastic zone of the surrounding rock of the roadway is no longer increased; the siltstone above the roadway is the key layer of fracturing, and the deformation of the roadway has been effectively improved after hydraulic fracturing. Through the analysis of numerical simulation results, the fracturing scheme has a significant effect on the stability control of the surrounding rock of the cross-mining floor roadway. This study has certain guiding significance for the maintenance and sustainable utilization of floor roadways in the cross-mining process, which is conducive to ensuring the sustainable mining of underground coal and the safety of personnel and equipment and is of great significance to the sustainable development of the coal mining industry.
