Key Parameters of the Roof Cutting and Pressure Relief Technology in the Pre-Splitting Blasting of a Hard Roof in Guqiao Coal Mine
The phenomenon of crushing the support of the hard roof of a coal seam occurs occasionally during the coal mining process. However, making the hard roof fall is difficult due to its good integrity and high strength. A vast area of unsupported, suspended roof can easily form in the goaf, inducing the...

| description | The phenomenon of crushing the support of the hard roof of a coal seam occurs occasionally during the coal mining process. However, making the hard roof fall is difficult due to its good integrity and high strength. A vast area of unsupported, suspended roof can easily form in the goaf, inducing the hidden dangers of rock burst and coal and gas outbursts. A deep-hole pre-splitting blasting technique is used to fracture the roof and relieve the pressure exerted by the rigid roof in order to improve the caving of the hard roof and protect the stability of the roadway, ensuring safe and effective operational production of the 1127 (1) working face in Guqiao Coal Mine. By collecting field samples, the mechanical properties of relevant rock formations are ascertained. Combining numerical simulation with theoretical computation, a roof cutting pressure-relief scheme with a roof cutting height of 13.5 m and a roof cutting angle of 20° is selected. This scheme can decrease the peak vertical stress on the roadway roof from 22.01 MPa to 13.63 MPa compared to when roof cutting is not performed. By ensuring the effectiveness of roof cutting for pressure relief, this scheme can optimize the actual construction workload to a minimum. The study’s conclusions provide insightful information and can be used as a guide for future research on related technical topics. |
