Article Abstract
In order to study the development of overburden fractures and the distribution characteristics of the “three zones” in extra-thick coal seams, a rota-table physical similarity simulation test platform was used to analyze the deformation and failure characteristics of overburden during the mining of extra-thick coal seams. The displacement patterns of key layers were measured under different excavation distances. A statistical analysis of the overburden fracture distribution was conducted, revealing the evolution characteristics of fracture development in the overburden with increasing advancing distance. Stress changes in key layers during excavation were also recorded and analyzed. By combining the study of the influence of overburden fracture development on gas migration, the mechanism of elliptical paraboloid-shaped fracture zones formed by mining-induced overburden fractures in extra-thick inclined coal seams was identified. A method for arranging directional high-level long boreholes based on fracture development characteristics was proposed. In field practice, the average pure gas drainage volume increased from 3.40 m/min to 5.70 m/min, showing a significant improvement in drainage efficiency.

In response to the spontaneous combustion hazards occurring during the mining of multiple coal seams at the Dananhu second mine in Xinjiang, this study aims to enhance the understanding of the combustion mechanism in this open-pit mining. Utilizing thermogravimetric analysis (TG) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) and simultaneous thermal analysis involving thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), key parameters such as mass variation, gaseous products, and functional groups during the coal combustion process were systematically obtained. The self-ignition propensity classification for the various coal seams was determined to be at Level I, indicating a high susceptibility to spontaneous combustion.

Taking a mine in Guizhou Province as the research background, a combination of similar simulation experiments and numerical simulation was used to analyse the spatial distribution of overburden collapse and the development of fissures during the mining process. The results indicate that: (1) During the mining of the upper coal seam, the overlying rock is not affected by faults, the 'three zones' are significantly developed, the collapse morphology exhibits a typical 'trapezoidal' structure, and the fractures undergo stages of formation, expansion, and closure; (2) The lower coal seam is affected by reverse faults, resulting in asymmetrical overburden collapse patterns and discontinuous fissure development. When mining across faults, periodic pressure is intense, and the stride length is significantly reduced, with severe rock fragmentation near the faults.

With the gradual extension of global coal mining to the deep, the problem of surface subsidence caused by repeated mining of multiple coal seams has attracted much attention. In this paper, the methods of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and field monitoring are used to study the settlement model and settlement law under the condition of repeated mining of multiple coal seams, and the engineering application is carried out. Through theoretical analysis, it is concluded that there is a linear relationship between the amount of broken expansion of overlying rock mass, the buried depth of coal seam, the thickness of coal seam and the maximum subsidence value of surface.
