Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mine safety monitoring and early warning technology, and in particular to a method for identifying precursors of roadway instability induced by activation of multi-parameter faults in fusion renormalization groups. Background Technology
[0002] Tunneling is the lifeblood of underground engineering projects such as mines and tunnels, and its stability directly affects the safety and production efficiency of the entire project. In deep, high-stress environments, excavation activities disrupt the original rock stress balance, leading to stress redistribution and easily activating existing geological structures such as faults and joints within the project area. Fault zones are weak zones composed of fractured rock and fault gouge, characterized by low strength and low stiffness. Under mining stress, the two sides of these faults will experience relative slippage, a process known as "fault activation." This process not only directly shears through the fault-crossing tunnel, causing abrupt damage, but also releases a large amount of elastic energy, generating strong dynamic loads, disturbing the surrounding rock mass, and triggering widespread rock instability, posing a significant hazard. Therefore, effective monitoring and accurate early warning of fault zone activation processes have become paramount for disaster prevention and control in deep engineering projects.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream fault-induced tunnel instability mechanism can be summarized in two aspects: (1) Stress triggering mechanism. The excavation of the tunnel or the advancement of the working face forms a goaf, which causes stress to transfer and concentrate in all directions. In particular, the stress component perpendicular to the fault strike increases significantly, which overcomes the static friction of the fault plane and thus induces sliding. (2) Activation-instability chain effect. Engineering activities break the original stress balance of the crust. The stress is highly concentrated at the fault end or locked area, which leads to the initiation and expansion of microcracks. The locked part of the two sides of the fault accumulates a large amount of strain energy before the displacement. When the stress reaches the critical state, the energy is suddenly released in the form of brittle fracture (microseismic event) and macroscopic slip. The released energy acts on the surrounding rock of the tunnel in the form of stress wave (dynamic load) and dislocation (static load). Static load causes shear and compression deformation of the surrounding rock of the tunnel; dynamic load may directly trigger rockburst, causing instantaneous catastrophic damage. When the tunnel is located on the footwall of the fault, it is particularly susceptible to the serious impact of the sliding of the footwall rock.
[0004] To prevent such disasters from harming engineering facilities and personnel, monitoring and early warning have become indispensable and effective means. The industry widely uses microseismic monitoring technology for disaster early warning, primarily based on changes in statistical parameters such as microseismic event frequency, energy release rate, and b-value. Existing early warning technologies often rely on single parameters (such as microseismic b-value or energy index) or involve isolated monitoring of faults and tunnels, exhibiting the following significant drawbacks: (1) Isolation: Existing methods may monitor fault activation and roadway response separately, failing to establish a causal relationship and linkage early warning mechanism between the two, and thus failing to answer the key question of "to what extent fault activation will pose a threat to the roadway".
[0005] (2) Uniqueness: It relies on a single parameter such as b value, and its changes are often accompanied by lag and randomness, resulting in insufficient reliability of early warning and inability to cross-verify the critical state of the system from multiple dimensions.
[0006] (3) Ambiguity: Parameter changes are easily affected by factors such as data integrity and external interference, resulting in a high false alarm rate and a high false alarm rate.
[0007] (4) Representational and empirical: The parameters are mostly based on empirical statistics, failing to deeply reveal the physical essence of fault activation as a "critical phase transition" in the rock mass system. The warning thresholds are mostly based on historical statistical experience, lacking universal criteria based on the inherent physical evolution law of the system.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can deeply integrate the "cause" of fault activation and the "effect" of roadway instability, capture the inherent evolutionary laws of the system earlier, and identify and warn of multi-parameter coordinated precursors based on rigorous physical theory. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Taking the 3987m section of the East Mining Area of Hongniu Copper Mine in Shangri-La City as an example, the mine has a mining depth of 450 meters. At this section level, the roadway crosses the F6 fault. The source material of the fault zone is relatively broken, and the risk of fault activation due to mining activities is high, which restricts the safe production of the mine.

The sensors have a sampling frequency of 10kHz, enabling them to accurately locate microseismic events (location error ≤10m) and record their energy.
[0033] Step S2: Install seismic-resistant displacement monitoring instruments (five-point displacement gauge 4) in the roadway. At least two detection points of the seismic-resistant displacement monitoring instruments should not be located within the fault rupture zone, for real-time monitoring of roadway convergence deformation. For example... Figures 2-3 As shown, three five-point displacement meters 4 and two laser rangefinders 2 are installed on the roof and sides of the 115 roadway. The vertical receiver 1 and the horizontal receiver 3 are used in conjunction with the laser rangefinders 2 to monitor the convergence deformation of the roadway surface in real time, and the data is automatically transmitted to the ground server.
[0034] Step S3: Preprocess the data acquired in real time in Step S1, analyze the microseismic event signals to obtain data for each microseismic event. The data for each microseismic event includes the occurrence time, the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the occurrence point, and the released energy. The set of data for all microseismic events is as follows: , For the first Data on microseismic events, The total number of microseismic events. Preprocessing includes format conversion and quality check, bandpass filtering, wavelet denoising, automatic picking of initial P-wave and S-wave values using the AIC algorithm, manual sampling to verify the picking results, and event filtering based on feature parameters and waveform clustering.
[0035] Step S4: Define the rolling time window and spatial analysis area.
[0036] It automatically collects and analyzes monitoring data within a rolling time window of the past 24 hours, with a 1-hour cycle.
[0037] Step S5: Calculate the association length based on the data preprocessed in Step S3. b-value and spatial fractal dimension .
[0038] Association length ( ): By calculating the spatial correlation function of microseismic events The fitting results show that the calculated value for the current time window is 65 meters.
[0039] b-value: The slope of the GR relationship is calculated using the maximum likelihood method, and the current value is 0.78.
[0040] spatial fractal dimension The value is 1.85, calculated using the correlation integral method.
[0041] By analyzing monitoring data from historically stable periods in the region, background reference values for each parameter were determined. , as well as The values are 20m, 1.2m, and 2.5m respectively.
[0042] Step S6: Calculate the quantitative index of the roadway's response to fault activation based on the data from Step S2. The roof subsidence and sidewall convergence of the roadway were extracted from the roadway deformation monitoring system, and their overall deformation rate was calculated. Based on the mine's support design specifications, It is 0.5 mm / h.
[0043] Step S7: Calculate the critical early warning index .
[0044] , , as well as The values were set to 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, and 0.1 respectively, and were determined through inversion and optimization using historical instability case data of the mine.
[0045] Substitute the processed real-time data and corresponding parameters into the critical early warning index. Calculation formula .
[0046] Step S8: Based on the critical early warning index and critical early warning index The rate of change is used to identify the precursors of roadway instability induced by fault activation, and an early warning level is obtained for early warning.
[0047] First threshold Second threshold and the third threshold We set the values to 1.0, 1.3, and 1.5 respectively. The system is in a critical instability state, and a disaster is imminent. A red alert has been triggered, an alarm has been immediately issued, relevant responsible persons have been automatically notified, and the emergency response plan has been activated, requiring the immediate cessation of production and evacuation of personnel from the danger zone.
[0048] Table 1 shows calculation examples for other time windows. Figure 4 This is a time series curve of the critical warning index, and related warnings are also issued in other time windows.
[0049] Table 1 Calculation Examples of Other Time Windows ;
[0050] Upon receiving the red alert, on-site engineers immediately organized the evacuation of workers in roadway 115. Approximately two hours after the evacuation, a significant slip event with a magnitude (ML) of 1.8 was detected on the F6 fault, causing approximately 150 mm of roof subsidence and severe rib bulging in the roadway near the fault zone. However, due to the timely warning, no casualties were reported. This example fully demonstrates that the warning method can effectively integrate multi-source precursor information, quantify instability risks, and provide sufficient advance warning time, ultimately successfully preventing a potential major safety accident.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
