Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for determining the pressure relief range of the overburden space in longwall mining. Background Technology

[0002] Existing technologies for determining the stress relief range in the overburden space of longwall mining suffer from several key issues: low quantification of the stress relief range, lack of integration with the stress recovery characteristics of the goaf, and absence of verification methods. Consequently, they cannot provide precise data for the spatial layout of gas drainage boreholes. Specific shortcomings are as follows:

[0003] (1) The decompression range is vague and lacks quantitative standards: Traditional methods are mostly based on experience to vaguely divide the "decompression zone" and "non-decompression zone". The degree of decompression of the overlying rock is judged only by the "fracture zone height". The direction, dip and height of the decompression range are not quantified, making it difficult to reflect the decompression difference in different spatial locations, resulting in a large degree of blindness in the layout of gas drainage boreholes.

[0004] (2) Failure to combine the stress recovery characteristics of the goaf: Ignoring the core influence of the stress recovery distance of the goaf on the stress relief range of the overburden, and failing to combine the stress recovery law with the stress-displacement field of the overburden, resulting in unreasonable setting of the extraction borehole depth. If it is too deep, it will enter the re-compaction zone of the goaf (without stress relief effect), and if it is too shallow, it will not enter the effective stress relief zone (low extraction efficiency).

[0005] (3) Numerical simulation is disconnected from engineering reality: The existing numerical simulation model does not fit the stress boundary according to the actual stress recovery characteristics on site. The model parameters are mostly general values, which cannot restore the recovery process of stress in the goaf from 0 to the original rock stress. The simulation results deviate greatly from the actual engineering reality.

[0006] (4) The verification methods are limited and lack dual calibration: Most methods obtain the pressure relief range only through numerical simulation, without combining similar material simulation tests and field measurements for verification and correction. There is no error control mechanism, and the reliability of the theoretical division results is low. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for determining the stress relief range of the overburden space in longwall mining. Taking the stress recovery distance of the goaf as the core input parameter, the method constructs an overburden stress-displacement field simulation model through the technical approach of "FLAC3D numerical simulation quantification + similar simulation verification and correction + three-dimensional parameter definition", defines standardized stress relief parameters and critical conditions, and realizes the accurate quantitative division of the stress relief range of the overburden space, thus solving the core defects of the traditional method.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for determining the pressure relief range of the overburden space in longwall mining, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1: Determine the stress recovery distance in the goaf;

[0010] S2: Construct a FLAC3D numerical model;

[0011] S3: Simulated overburden stress-displacement field;

[0012] S4: Define the pressure relief parameters and critical conditions;

[0013] S5: Define the pressure relief range of the overburden space;

[0014] S6: Similarity simulation verification and correction;

[0015] S7: Output overburden space depressurization range.

[0016] Preferably, in step S1, the final stress recovery distance of the goaf in the longwall working face is accurately obtained through the steps of "basic parameter collection, independent calculation of multiple models, obtaining measured values ​​through similar material model tests, verification of field measured data, and weighted fusion of multiple results". This parameter is used as the core input for this method, and it is required that... The calculation error, verified by on-site measurements, is less than 10%. The specific operating method is as follows: First, obtain the coal seam mining height M, coal seam burial depth H, and uniaxial compressive strength of the roof rock mass through on-site geological exploration, laboratory tests, and similar simulation tests. , Collapsed rock mass fragmentation coefficient b, Overburden unit weight Working face width P0, internal friction angle of coal The complete set of basic parameters is obtained; then the stress recovery distance is calculated using the load conservation model, the lateral propagation model, and the surface subsidence fitting model, respectively. Subsequently, a 1:100 similarity ratio material model was constructed to obtain the measured value X of the stress recovery distance in the goaf. 实测 Then, based on the calculated values ​​from the three sets of models and X... 实测 The weighting coefficients are determined by the inverse ratio of the absolute error. Through weighted average method The fusion results are obtained; finally, a vibrating wire stress sensor is deployed at the coal mine site for field measurement and verification. If the error is greater than 10%, the basic parameters are recalibrated and the above calculation process is repeated until the error meets the requirements.

[0017] Preferably, in step S2, the stress recovery distance of the goaf is used. Based on this core principle, a FLAC3D numerical model for mining overburden in longwall face mining was constructed. The model dimensions, constitutive model, and rock mechanics parameters were determined. The stress recovery boundary of the goaf was fitted to ensure a high degree of matching between the model and actual geological and mining conditions. The specific steps are as follows:

[0018] (1) Model size determination: based on the stress recovery distance of the goaf. The dimensions of the three-dimensional model are determined by the coal seam burial depth H, ensuring that the model covers the stress recovery area of ​​the goaf and the overlying rock pressure relief area:

[0019] Along the direction of length: Sufficient stress recovery and boundary effect areas are reserved;

[0020] Length along dip: X = 300 (m), suitable for the dip width of conventional coal mine working faces;

[0021] Height: Z = H + 100 (m), covering the full thickness of the coal seam overburden, with a reserved area at the top boundary of the overburden;

[0022] (2) Constitutive model selection: The Hoek-Brown strength criterion is adopted, which is suitable for stress analysis of overburden with fractured rock mass and developed fissures, and fits the actual mechanical properties of overburden in goaf.

[0023] (3) Transformation of rock mass mechanical parameters: The macroscopic mechanical parameters of the rock mass are transformed into numerical simulation parameters, such as the elastic modulus E, by using the GSI rock mass geological strength index and the rock mass disturbance coefficient D. m The conversion formula for (MPa) is:

[0024]

[0025] in, The uniaxial compressive strength of the rock mass (MPa) is given by denoted as D, which is the rock mass disturbance coefficient. The standard values ​​are: D=0.8 for coal seams, D=0.3 for roof sandstone, and D=0.5 for floor mudstone.

[0026] (4) Stress fitting in the goaf: By applying vertical stress to the nodes of the top and bottom plates of the goaf, the vertical stress of the top and bottom plates of the goaf is simulated to change continuously as the working face advances, and the support also moves forward continuously as the working face advances; finally, the stress recovery distance of the goaf is calculated. Fitting the numerical model, the simulated stress in the goaf linearly recovers from 0 MPa behind the working face to... Original rock stress The process restores the actual stress evolution characteristics of the goaf;

[0027] Input: Stress recovery distance in the goaf Coal seam burial depth H, rock mass GSI index, and rock mass uniaxial compressive strength Rock mass disturbance coefficient D, original rock stress ;

[0028] Output: FLAC3D three-dimensional numerical model, including model dimensions, constitutive model, mechanical parameters, and stress fitting boundary.

[0029] Preferably, in step S3, based on the constructed FLAC3D numerical model, the actual advancement process of the longwall working face is simulated, and stress and displacement data at different spatial locations of the overburden are extracted to provide data support for the subsequent decompression range division. The specific steps are as follows:

[0030] (1) Working face advance simulation: According to the actual mining step distance at the coal mine site, simulate the gradual advance process of the working face, advance 2m each time, until the working face advance distance reaches the actual mining distance at the site, and record the overburden stress-displacement data after each advance;

[0031] (2) Monitoring point layout: Monitoring points are arranged along the strike, dip and height of the overburden in three dimensions, with a spacing of 5m×5m×5m, to achieve full-range monitoring in three-dimensional space;

[0032] (3) Data extraction: Extract the effective stress values ​​of each monitoring point. With absolute displacement value This forms a three-dimensional dataset of overburden stress-displacement field;

[0033] Inputs: FLAC3D numerical model, actual advance step and distance of the working face, and monitoring point layout parameters;

[0034] Output: Stress values ​​of the overburden along its strike, dip, and height. Displacement value Three-dimensional dataset.

[0035] Preferably, in step S4, to achieve a quantitative division of the overburden pressure relief range, two core pressure relief parameters, "pressure relief coefficient" and "pressure relief angle," are defined. Furthermore, based on the requirements for gas extraction and outburst prevention, the critical conditions for effective pressure relief are clarified. The parameter definitions and critical conditions are as follows:

[0036] (1) Stress relief coefficient k: reflects the degree of stress relief in the overburden, and is the percentage of the difference between the original rock stress and the actual stress in the overburden relative to the original rock stress. The calculation formula is as follows: ;

[0037] in, The original rock stress (MPa) The actual effective stress of the overlying strata (MPa) is given by k. The larger the k value, the higher the degree of stress relief.

[0038] (2) Pressure relief angle : Reflects the spatial morphology of the overburden pressure relief range, and is the arctangent value of the pressure relief height and the horizontal distance of pressure relief. The calculation formula is: ;

[0039] in, b1 is the pressure relief height (m), which is the vertical distance from the coal seam roof to a certain pressure relief position in the overburden; b2 is the pressure relief horizontal distance (m), which is the horizontal distance from the coal wall to a certain pressure relief position in the overburden.

[0040] (3) Critical conditions for effective pressure relief:

[0041] Critical stress relief coefficient: k0≥10%, at which point the overburden stress is significantly reduced, fractures are fully developed, and the risk of gas outburst in the protected layer is eliminated; when the gas content of the protected layer is >15m 3 At / t, the critical pressure relief coefficient is dynamically adjusted to k0≥15%;

[0042] Critical pressure relief angle: At this time, the spatial morphology of the overlying rock pressure relief range meets the spatial requirements for the arrangement of gas drainage boreholes;

[0043] Input: original rock stress Actual stress of overlying rock Decompression height , pressure relief horizontal distance b1, gas content of the protected layer;

[0044] Output: Pressure relief coefficient k and pressure relief angle at each monitoring point of the overburden. Effective pressure relief critical condition k0 for on-site adaptation .

[0045] Preferably, in step S5, based on the overburden stress-displacement field dataset and the calculation results of the pressure relief parameters, combined with the effective pressure relief critical conditions, the overburden spatial pressure relief range is quantitatively divided from three dimensions: along strike, along dip, and along height, and the pressure relief boundaries of each dimension are clarified. The specific division method is as follows:

[0046] (1) Division of stress relief range along strike: Based on the distribution characteristics of stress relief coefficient k, the overburden is divided into five regions along strike. The horizontal distance boundary of each region is determined with the working face position as the origin:

[0047] In the original rock stress zone: k < 5%, the overlying rock stress has not changed, and there is no pressure relief effect;

[0048] Compression zone: 5%≤k<10%, the overburden stress is slightly compressed, and the degree of pressure relief is low;

[0049] The expansion zone, also known as the pressure relief core zone, has a k≥k0, where the overburden stress is significantly reduced and the fractures are fully developed, making it the optimal area for gas extraction.

[0050] Stress recovery zone: 5%≤k<10%, overburden stress gradually recovers, and the degree of stress relief decreases;

[0051] Recompacted zone: k < 5%, the rock mass in the goaf is recompacted, the overlying stress is restored to the original rock stress, and there is no stress relief effect;

[0052] The effective pressure relief range along the direction was ultimately determined to be the horizontal distance boundary of the expansion zone;

[0053] (2) Division along the depressurization range: based on the depressurization angle Based on the distribution characteristics, starting from the coal pillar side and ending in the middle of the goaf, the variation law of the pressure relief angle is determined: the pressure relief angle changes from the coal pillar side... Gradually increasing to the middle of the goaf area Then gradually reduce the size to the side of the incision. The effective pressure relief range along the dip direction was ultimately determined to be the pressure relief angle. Horizontal distance from the boundary;

[0054] (3) Division along the height of the pressure relief range: based on the stress value of the overlying rock. Based on the distribution characteristics, the overburden pressure relief height H is determined upwards from the coal seam roof. 卸压 (m), that is, the stress recovery from the coal seam roof to the overburden is... The vertical distance of the location; the final effective pressure relief range along the height is determined to be from the coal seam roof to H. 卸压 The vertical height boundary;

[0055] (4) Integration of three-dimensional pressure relief range: The effective pressure relief boundaries along the strike, dip and height are integrated, and the boundaries of the overburden space pressure relief range are defined by three-dimensional coordinates, namely strike Y, dip X and height Z, to form the outline of the three-dimensional pressure relief area.

[0056] Input: Overburden stress-displacement field dataset, stress relief coefficient k, stress relief angle Critical conditions for effective pressure relief ( , );

[0057] Output: Effective stress relief boundaries of the overburden along strike, dip, and height; three-dimensional coordinates (Y, X, Z) of the stress relief range in the overburden space.

[0058] Preferably, in step S6, a similar material model for longwall mining is constructed to simulate the overburden pressure relief process. The overburden pressure relief range is measured and compared with the FLAC3D numerical simulation results. The boundary of the pressure relief range is corrected to ensure that the error is controlled within 8%. The specific steps are as follows:

[0059] (1) Construction of similar material model: Similar materials are configured according to geometric similarity ratio of 1:100, bulk density similarity ratio of 0.6 and time similarity ratio of 1:12 to restore the lithology and mechanical properties of coal seam, roof and floor and overburden, and replicate the on-site mining parameters and stress recovery characteristics of goaf;

[0060] (2) Monitoring methods deployment:

[0061] Displacement measuring points: arranged at intervals of 10cm×10cm to monitor the three-dimensional displacement changes of the overlying rock;

[0062] Strain gauges: arranged in 4 layers, 15 gauges per layer, to monitor stress and strain changes in the overburden;

[0063] Ground-penetrating radar: A ground-penetrating radar with a resolution of 0.1m was used to detect the development of overlying rock fissures and verify the consistency between the stress relief zone and the fissure connection zone;

[0064] (3) Test and data acquisition: Simulate the working face advance process, record the measured data of overburden pressure relief coefficient, pressure relief angle and pressure relief range, and obtain similar simulated measured pressure relief range;

[0065] (4) Result comparison and correction: Compare the measured pressure relief range of similar simulation with the FLAC3D numerical simulation results, calculate the error of each dimension boundary, and correct the pressure relief range of the overburden space obtained by numerical simulation to ensure that the error after correction is ≤8%;

[0066] Input: FLAC3D numerical simulation results of decompression range, similar material proportioning parameters, monitoring layout parameters, and similar simulation measured data;

[0067] Output: Corrected three-dimensional coordinates (Y, X, Z) of the overburden space decompression range.

[0068] Preferably, in step S7, the corrected overburden space pressure relief range is output in the form of "3D model + engineering drawings", which clarifies the specific values ​​of the pressure relief boundary in each dimension, the location and range of the pressure relief core area, and marks the distribution characteristics of the pressure relief coefficient and pressure relief angle, providing direct engineering guidance for the layout of gas drainage boreholes and the design of surrounding rock support in coal mines.

[0069] Input: Corrected three-dimensional coordinates of the overburden space decompression range and distribution characteristics of decompression parameters;

[0070] Output: 3D model of the overburden space depressurization range, engineering drawings, and marking of depressurization boundaries and depressurization core area.

[0071] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0072] This invention uses the stress recovery distance of the goaf as the core input parameter. Through a technical approach of "FLAC3D numerical simulation quantification + similar simulation verification and correction + three-dimensional parameter definition," it constructs a stress-displacement field simulation model for the overburden, defines standardized stress relief parameters and critical conditions, and achieves precise quantitative division of the overburden spatial stress relief range, thus overcoming the core shortcomings of traditional methods. Specific advantages and beneficial effects are as follows:

[0073] (1) High degree of quantification and accurate three-dimensional division: For the first time, standardized pressure relief coefficient and pressure relief angle parameters are defined, the critical conditions for effective pressure relief are clarified, the boundary of the overburden pressure relief range is quantified from three dimensions: strike, dip and height, and the pressure relief area is defined by three-dimensional coordinates, which completely solves the problem of fuzzy division by traditional methods.

[0074] (2) Core parameter correlation, in line with engineering reality: The stress recovery distance of the goaf is used as the core input and stress fitting basis of numerical simulation, restoring the linear recovery process of the stress in the goaf from 0 to the original rock stress, so that the numerical simulation model is highly matched with the actual stress evolution characteristics of the goaf, and the simulation results are more in line with engineering reality.

[0075] (3) Dual verification, controllable error: The pressure relief range is calibrated and corrected by using the dual verification method of "FLAC3D numerical simulation + similar material simulation test". At the same time, the development of overlying rock fissures is detected by ground radar to verify the consistency between the pressure relief area and the fissure penetration area, ensuring the reliability of the results.

[0076] (4) Parameters are adjustable and highly adaptable: The critical pressure relief coefficient can be dynamically adjusted according to the gas content of the protected layer. The rock mass mechanical parameters are accurately converted from the GSI index to the rock mass disturbance coefficient, which can be adapted to the mining conditions of high gas and low permeability coal seam groups with different gas contents and different lithologies.

[0077] (5) The project is highly practical and has direct guiding significance: the quantified overburden space pressure relief range can directly guide the design of parameters such as direction, inclination, height, diameter and spacing of gas drainage boreholes, accurately locate the pressure relief core area, significantly improve gas drainage efficiency, reduce the risk of gas outburst accidents, and provide scientific basis for strata control and surrounding rock support.

[0078] (6) Standardized methods are easy to promote in the industry: A standardized process has been established from core parameter input, numerical modeling, depressurization range division to verification and correction. Depressurization parameter definition, model construction and test methods have all formed a unified standard, which is convenient for coal mine on-site engineering technicians to operate and is suitable for promotion and application in the high-gas coal mine industry.

[0106] To achieve precise quantification of the pressure relief range of the overburden space.

[0107] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 10-13 As shown, the specific method for determining the stress recovery distance of the goaf in step S1 is as follows:

[0108] Step 1: Collection of basic parameters;

[0109] Step 2: Calculate the stress recovery distance based on the load conservation model ;

[0110] Step 3: Calculate the stress recovery distance based on the lateral propagation model ;

[0113] Step 6: Verification of on-site measured data;

[0114] Step 7: Weighted fusion of multiple results to determine the final stress recovery distance.

[0115] In step 1, geological and mechanical parameters of the coal seam in the longwall working face are comprehensively obtained through three methods: on-site geological exploration, laboratory testing, and similar simulation testing. This provides basic data for subsequent model calculations. The parameter acquisition methods and specific indicators are as follows:

[0116] (1): On-site geological exploration: using ground-penetrating radar to detect the thickness, depth, roof lithology distribution and dip angle of the coal seam, measuring the actual width of the working face, and determining the coal seam mining height.

The lateral pressure coefficient was determined by combining on-site measurements at the coal mine. interlayer friction coefficient ;

[0118] (3): Similarity simulation test: A similar material model of longwall mining was constructed using a 1:100 similarity ratio, and the collapse rock mass fragmentation coefficient b and the surface subsidence propagation angle were determined. The coefficient of rock mass fragmentation, b, ranges from 1.2 to 1.5, and the surface subsidence extension angle... The value ranges from 18° to 21°.

[0119] (4): Parameter calibration requirements: Uniaxial compressive strength of the roof rock mass The scale effect needs to be considered, and 15% of the strength of the laboratory rock sample should be taken; all parameters need to be tested in three or more parallel tests, and the average value should be taken as the final calculated value to ensure the accuracy of the parameters.

[0122] In step 2, based on the elastoplastic limit equilibrium theory and considering the load transfer law of the overlying rock mass in the mining area, the load transfer relationship between the plastic and elastic zones in front of the coal face is taken into account. The load conservation model formula is derived, and the stress recovery distance is calculated. The specific steps are as follows:

[0123] (1): Theoretical derivation: According to the principle of energy conservation, the increase in the support pressure in front of the coal wall is equal to the decrease in the load in the goaf. The total load in the load-increasing zone in front of the coal wall is Ls, the initial load is Lo, and the total load increment is Ls'. The rock mass in front of the coal wall is divided into a plastic zone and an elastic zone, and the range of the plastic zone is determined. , elastic zone range The roadway support constraint force is ;

Let be the distance, in meters, from any point within the stress-increased zone to the coal face. Stress concentration factor at the coal face;

[0127] (3): Numerical simulation calibration: The FLAC3D numerical simulation software was used to construct the pressure distribution model of the coal wall front support, and the boundary between the plastic zone and the elastic zone was calibrated to ensure that the boundary calculation error was less than 5%;

[0128] (4): Integral calculation: Combine the basic parameters and the calibrated plastic zone , elastic zone Substituting into the model formula, the stress recovery distance under the load conservation model is obtained through integration. ;

[0131] In step 3, considering the characteristics of surface subsidence expansion, the surface subsidence expansion angle is used. The core parameter is based on the coal seam burial depth. With working surface width The ratio relationship is used to derive the formula for the lateral propagation model under different working conditions, and to calculate the stress recovery distance. The specific steps are as follows:

[0132] (1): Working condition judgment: Calculate the ratio of coal seam burial depth to working face width Combined with the surface subsidence extension angle The tangent value is used to divide the calculation into two working conditions, among which... The value was determined by fitting measured data from similar mining areas, and ranged from 18° to 21°.

[0138] Output: Stress recovery distance calculated by the lateral spread model. .

[0139] In step 4, combining the stress-strain relationship of the goaf rock mass with the variation law of surface subsidence, the stress recovery distance is calculated by fitting the model formula with the measured surface subsidence data in the field, using the overburden unit weight, the collapse rock mass fragmentation coefficient, and the uniaxial compressive strength of the roof rock mass as core parameters. The specific steps are as follows:

The specific steps are as follows:

[0147] (1): Model construction: Similar materials were configured according to a geometric similarity ratio of 1:100, a bulk density similarity ratio of 0.6, and a time similarity ratio of 1:12 to simulate the lithology and mechanical properties of the coal seam, roof and floor, and overburden, and to restore the actual mining parameters of the working face;

This ensures that the model with the smaller error has a higher weight, ultimately yielding the accurate stress recovery distance of the goaf. The specific steps are as follows:

Based on this core principle, a FLAC3D numerical model for mining overburden in longwall face mining was constructed. The model dimensions, constitutive model, and rock mechanics parameters were determined. The stress recovery boundary of the goaf was fitted to ensure a high degree of matching between the model and actual geological and mining conditions. The specific steps are as follows:

[0190] (1) Model size determination: based on the stress recovery distance of the goaf. The dimensions of the three-dimensional model are determined by the coal seam burial depth H, ensuring that the model covers the stress recovery area of ​​the goaf and the overlying rock pressure relief area:

[0191] Along the direction of length: Sufficient stress recovery and boundary effect areas are reserved;

[0192] Length along dip: X = 300 (m), suitable for the dip width of conventional coal mine working faces;

[0193] Height: Z = H + 100 (m), covering the full thickness of the coal seam overburden, with a reserved area at the top boundary of the overburden;

[0194] (2) Constitutive model selection: The Hoek-Brown strength criterion is adopted, which is suitable for stress analysis of overburden with fractured rock mass and developed fissures, and fits the actual mechanical properties of overburden in goaf.

[0195] (3) Transformation of rock mass mechanical parameters: The macroscopic mechanical parameters of the rock mass are transformed into numerical simulation parameters, such as the elastic modulus E, by using the GSI rock mass geological strength index and the rock mass disturbance coefficient D. m The conversion formula for (MPa) is:

[0196]

[0197] in, The uniaxial compressive strength of the rock mass (MPa) is given by denoted as D, which is the rock mass disturbance coefficient. The standard values ​​are: D=0.8 for coal seams, D=0.3 for roof sandstone, and D=0.5 for floor mudstone.

[0198] (4) Stress fitting in the goaf: By applying vertical stress to the nodes of the top and bottom plates of the goaf, the vertical stress of the top and bottom plates of the goaf is simulated to change continuously as the working face advances, and the support also moves forward continuously as the working face advances; finally, the stress recovery distance of the goaf is calculated. Fitting the numerical model, the simulated stress in the goaf linearly recovers from 0 MPa behind the working face to... Original rock stress The process restores the actual stress evolution characteristics of the goaf;

[0199] Input: Stress recovery distance in the goaf Coal seam burial depth H, rock mass GSI index, and rock mass uniaxial compressive strength Rock mass disturbance coefficient D, original rock stress ;

[0200] Output: FLAC3D three-dimensional numerical model, including model dimensions, constitutive model, mechanical parameters, and stress fitting boundary.

[0201] In this embodiment of the invention, in step S3, based on the constructed FLAC3D numerical model, the actual advancing process of the longwall working face is simulated, and stress and displacement data at different spatial locations of the overburden are extracted to provide data support for the subsequent decompression range division. The specific steps are as follows:

[0202] (1) Working face advance simulation: According to the actual mining step distance at the coal mine site, simulate the gradual advance process of the working face, advance 2m each time, until the working face advance distance reaches the actual mining distance at the site, and record the overburden stress-displacement data after each advance;

[0203] (2) Monitoring point layout: Monitoring points are arranged along the strike, dip and height of the overburden in three dimensions, with a spacing of 5m×5m×5m, to achieve full-range monitoring in three-dimensional space;

[0204] (3) Data extraction: Extract the effective stress values ​​of each monitoring point. With absolute displacement value This forms a three-dimensional dataset of overburden stress-displacement field;

[0205] Inputs: FLAC3D numerical model, actual advance step and distance of the working face, and monitoring point layout parameters;

[0206] Output: Stress values ​​of the overburden along its strike, dip, and height. Displacement value Three-dimensional dataset.

[0207] In this embodiment of the invention, in step S4, to achieve a quantitative division of the overburden pressure relief range, two core pressure relief parameters, "pressure relief coefficient" and "pressure relief angle," are defined. Furthermore, based on the requirements for gas extraction and outburst prevention, the critical conditions for effective pressure relief are clarified. The parameter definitions and critical conditions are as follows:

[0208] (1) Stress relief coefficient k: reflects the degree of stress relief in the overburden, and is the percentage of the difference between the original rock stress and the actual stress in the overburden relative to the original rock stress. The calculation formula is as follows: ;

[0209] in, The original rock stress (MPa) The actual effective stress of the overlying strata (MPa) is given by k. The larger the k value, the higher the degree of stress relief.

[0210] (2) Pressure relief angle : Reflects the spatial morphology of the overburden pressure relief range, and is the arctangent value of the pressure relief height and the horizontal distance of pressure relief. The calculation formula is: ;

[0211] in, b1 is the pressure relief height (m), which is the vertical distance from the coal seam roof to a certain pressure relief position in the overburden; b2 is the pressure relief horizontal distance (m), which is the horizontal distance from the coal wall to a certain pressure relief position in the overburden.

[0212] (3) Critical conditions for effective pressure relief:

[0213] Critical stress relief coefficient: k0≥10%, at which point the overburden stress is significantly reduced, fractures are fully developed, and the risk of gas outburst in the protected layer is eliminated; when the gas content of the protected layer is >15m 3 At / t, the critical pressure relief coefficient is dynamically adjusted to k0≥15%;

[0214] Critical pressure relief angle: At this time, the spatial morphology of the overlying rock pressure relief range meets the spatial requirements for the arrangement of gas drainage boreholes;

[0215] Input: original rock stress Actual stress of overlying rock Decompression height , pressure relief horizontal distance b1, gas content of the protected layer;

[0216] Output: Pressure relief coefficient k and pressure relief angle at each monitoring point of the overburden. Effective pressure relief critical condition k0 for on-site adaptation .

[0217] In this embodiment of the invention, in step S5, based on the overburden stress-displacement field dataset and the calculation results of the pressure relief parameters, combined with the effective pressure relief critical conditions, the overburden spatial pressure relief range is quantitatively divided from three dimensions: along strike, along dip, and along height, and the pressure relief boundaries of each dimension are clarified. The specific division method is as follows:

[0218] (1) Division of stress relief range along strike: Based on the distribution characteristics of stress relief coefficient k, the overburden is divided into five regions along strike. The horizontal distance boundary of each region is determined with the working face position as the origin:

[0219] In the original rock stress zone: k < 5%, the overlying rock stress has not changed, and there is no pressure relief effect;

[0220] Compression zone: 5%≤k<10%, the overburden stress is slightly compressed, and the degree of pressure relief is low;

[0221] The expansion zone, also known as the pressure relief core zone, has a k≥k0, where the overburden stress is significantly reduced and the fractures are fully developed, making it the optimal area for gas extraction.

[0222] Stress recovery zone: 5%≤k<10%, overburden stress gradually recovers, and the degree of stress relief decreases;

[0223] Recompacted zone: k < 5%, the rock mass in the goaf is recompacted, the overlying stress is restored to the original rock stress, and there is no stress relief effect;

[0224] The effective pressure relief range along the direction was ultimately determined to be the horizontal distance boundary of the expansion zone;

[0225] (2) Division along the depressurization range: based on the depressurization angle Based on the distribution characteristics, starting from the coal pillar side and ending in the middle of the goaf, the variation law of the pressure relief angle is determined: the pressure relief angle changes from the coal pillar side... Gradually increasing to the middle of the goaf area Then gradually reduce the size to the side of the incision. The effective pressure relief range along the dip direction was ultimately determined to be the pressure relief angle. Horizontal distance from the boundary;

[0226] (3) Division along the height of the pressure relief range: based on the stress value of the overlying rock. Based on the distribution characteristics, the overburden pressure relief height H is determined upwards from the coal seam roof. 卸压 (m), that is, the stress recovery from the coal seam roof to the overburden is... The vertical distance of the location; the final effective pressure relief range along the height is determined to be from the coal seam roof to H. 卸压 The vertical height boundary;

[0227] (4) Integration of three-dimensional pressure relief range: The effective pressure relief boundaries along the strike, dip and height are integrated, and the boundaries of the overburden space pressure relief range are defined by three-dimensional coordinates, namely strike Y, dip X and height Z, to form the outline of the three-dimensional pressure relief area.

[0228] Input: Overburden stress-displacement field dataset, stress relief coefficient k, stress relief angle Critical conditions for effective pressure relief ( , );

[0229] Output: Effective stress relief boundaries of the overburden along strike, dip, and height; three-dimensional coordinates (Y, X, Z) of the stress relief range in the overburden space.

The overburden decompression range is measured and compared with the FLAC3D numerical simulation results. The decompression range boundary is then corrected to ensure that the error is controlled within 8%. The specific steps are as follows:

[0232] (2) Monitoring methods deployment:

[0233] Displacement measuring points: arranged at intervals of 10cm×10cm to monitor the three-dimensional displacement changes of the overlying rock;

[0234] Strain gauges: arranged in 4 layers, 15 gauges per layer, to monitor stress and strain changes in the overburden;

[0235] Ground-penetrating radar: A ground-penetrating radar with a resolution of 0.1m was used to detect the development of overlying rock fissures and verify the consistency between the stress relief zone and the fissure connection zone;

[0236] (3) Test and data acquisition: Simulate the working face advance process, record the measured data of overburden pressure relief coefficient, pressure relief angle and pressure relief range, and obtain similar simulated measured pressure relief range;

[0237] (4) Result comparison and correction: Compare the measured pressure relief range of similar simulation with the FLAC3D numerical simulation results, calculate the error of each dimension boundary, and correct the pressure relief range of the overburden space obtained by numerical simulation to ensure that the error after correction is ≤8%;

[0238] Input: FLAC3D numerical simulation results of decompression range, similar material proportioning parameters, monitoring layout parameters, and similar simulation measured data;

[0239] Output: Corrected three-dimensional coordinates (Y, X, Z) of the overburden space decompression range.

[0240] In this embodiment of the invention, in step S7, the modified overburden space pressure relief range is output in the form of "three-dimensional model + engineering drawings", which clarifies the specific values ​​of the pressure relief boundary in each dimension, the location and range of the pressure relief core area, and marks the distribution characteristics of the pressure relief coefficient and pressure relief angle, providing direct engineering guidance for the layout of gas drainage boreholes and the design of surrounding rock support in coal mines.

[0249] (2) Rock mass parameter conversion: GSI of protected layer #3 is 75. D=0.8, substituting into the formula, we get ; 8# protective layer GSI=75, D=0.8, therefore E m =3020.50MPa; GSI of the roof sandstone =90, D=0.3, therefore E m =6566.53MPa;

[0250] (3) Stress fitting: The stress in the goaf is linearly restored from 0 MPa behind the working face to 13 MPa of the original rock stress at 136 m by writing code in FISH language.

The specific division method is as follows: (1) Division of stress relief range along strike: Based on the distribution characteristics of stress relief coefficient k, the overburden is divided into five regions along strike. The horizontal distance boundary of each region is determined with the working face position as the origin: In the original rock stress zone: k < 5%, the overlying rock stress has not changed, and there is no pressure relief effect; Compression zone: 5%≤k<10%, the overburden stress is slightly compressed, and the degree of pressure relief is low; The expansion zone, also known as the pressure relief core zone, has a k≥k0, where the overburden stress is significantly reduced and the fractures are fully developed, making it the optimal area for gas extraction. Stress recovery zone: 5%≤k<10%, overburden stress gradually recovers, and the degree of stress relief decreases; Recompacted zone: k < 5%, the rock mass in the goaf is recompacted, the overlying stress is restored to the original rock stress, and there is no stress relief effect; The effective pressure relief range along the direction was ultimately determined to be the horizontal distance boundary of the expansion zone; (2) Division along the depressurization range: based on the depressurization angle Based on the distribution characteristics, starting from the coal pillar side and ending in the middle of the goaf, the variation law of the pressure relief angle is determined: the pressure relief angle changes from the coal pillar side... Gradually increasing to the middle of the goaf area Then gradually reduce the size to the side of the incision. The effective pressure relief range along the dip direction was ultimately determined to be the pressure relief angle. Horizontal distance from the boundary; (3) Division along the height of the pressure relief range: based on the stress value of the overlying rock. Based on the distribution characteristics, the overburden pressure relief height H is determined upwards from the coal seam roof. 卸压 (m), that is, the stress recovery from the coal seam roof to the overburden is... The vertical distance of the location; the final effective pressure relief range along the height is determined to be from the coal seam roof to H. 卸压 The vertical height boundary; (4) Integration of three-dimensional pressure relief range: The effective pressure relief boundaries along the strike, dip and height are integrated, and the boundaries of the overburden space pressure relief range are defined by three-dimensional coordinates, namely strike Y, dip X and height Z, to form the outline of the three-dimensional pressure relief area. Input: Overburden stress-displacement field dataset, stress relief coefficient k, stress relief angle Critical conditions for effective pressure relief ( , ); Output: Effective stress relief boundaries of the overburden along strike, dip, and height; three-dimensional coordinates (Y, X, Z) of the stress relief range in the overburden space.
