TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of coal mining strata damage and movement control and ecological protection of mining area. Specifically relates to a method for characterizing the evolution of overburden fissure field under different geological conditions. The core of the application is to establish a unified topological characterization method to describe the spatial distribution of overburden fissure field under different geological conditions. The topological parameters in the model can be quantitatively calculated according to the overburden structure and mechanical parameters, breaking the bottleneck that most parameters in traditional strata movement prediction models are empirically valued. According to the overburden fissure field and the mechanical parameters of each rock layer, the inflection point layer and the concave-convex nature of the overburden fissure field are determined, and it is found that there are three evolution patterns of overburden fissure field under different geological conditions. The overburden fissure field does not have an inflection point, the overburden of shallow mining has no key layer, and the strata movement pattern can be grouted in the goaf; the overburden fissure field has a pair of inflection points, the overburden of conventional depth has a key layer, and the strata movement pattern can be grouted in the separation zone below the inflection point of the key layer; the overburden fissure field has two pairs of inflection points, the overburden of deep mining has a key layer, and the strata movement pattern can be grouted in the separation zone below the convex inflection point of the first key layer. In the three cases, accurate grouting can control the surface subsidence and protect the ecological environment of the mining area. BACKGROUND

[0002] Safety, efficiency and green are the three major themes of today's coal mining. In the process of coal mining, as the ore is removed, the stress balance of the rock mass above the goaf is destroyed, causing displacement and deformation of the surrounding rock, and then causing surface subsidence. This subsidence not only affects the stability of the surface, but also can cause damage to ground buildings. Especially in mining areas with high water level, ground subsidence can also cause large areas of farmland to become water accumulation basins, causing serious impact on the local ecological environment and landform structure. Surface subsidence has a high probability of triggering geological disasters such as mudslides and landslides. Coal mine surface subsidence not only directly damages land resources and agricultural production, but also threatens the safety of buildings, and has a profound impact on local social stability and economic development. Therefore, the harm of coal mine surface subsidence is quite large, and effective control measures need to be taken to alleviate its impact.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to understand a unified topological characterization method of overburden fissure field evolution under different geological conditions, understand the development law of overburden fissure field under different overburden conditions, and establish a unified topological model to characterize and describe. Through the characterization equation, it is determined whether there is a separation zone in the overburden fissure field and its layer, and scientific guidance is provided for accurate grouting in the separation zone to control surface subsidence and protect the ecological environment of the mining area.
