AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies that use theoretical calculations or stress gauge monitoring methods to determine the boundary of the plastic zone are not accurate enough, making it difficult to accurately determine the extent of the lateral plastic zone in the goaf.
By installing microseismic sensors around the mining face, microseismic events caused by rock mass fracturing or fluid disturbance are monitored. The location information of microseismic events is determined using the microseismic monitoring system, and the boundary of the plastic zone is determined based on the distance from the goaf.
It improves the accuracy of determining the boundary of the plastic zone, enabling more accurate prediction of the range of plastic deformation around the mining face, and guiding the rational layout of the roadway in the next working face.
