[0002] Currently, although the proportion of coal in primary energy consumption is declining, the demand for coal remains very high. During coal mining, cavities are easily formed. If not supported or treated in time, these cavities can create large areas of voids underground, leading to changes and damage to the underground rock structure. This alters the originally stable geological structure and causes ground subsidence. Ground subsidence not only damages the surrounding environment, buildings, and roads, but also triggers geological disasters such as earthquakes and landslides, affects groundwater resources, and can even lead to ecological imbalance. The problem of mining subsidence caused by coal mining is increasingly attracting global attention; however, there is currently no method to identify the extent of soil disturbance caused by coal seam mining.

[0073] The preferred embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0074] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a coal and rock strata tunneling simulation method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method can be implemented as follows: S101-S105:

[0080] In this application, the first mechanical parameters of the target coal and rock strata are obtained. In one embodiment of this application, the mechanical parameters of the target coal and rock strata are obtained by conducting on-site drilling measurements. Specifically, firstly, on-site drilling is performed on the target coal and rock strata. Then, during the on-site drilling process, at least one of the following mechanical parameters is received by sensors: density of the coal and rock strata blocks, bulk modulus of the coal and rock strata blocks, shear modulus of the coal and rock strata blocks, cohesion of the coal and rock strata blocks, tensile strength of the coal and rock strata blocks, internal friction angle of the coal and rock strata blocks, normal stiffness between coal and rock strata blocks, tangential stiffness between coal and rock strata blocks, bond force between coal and rock strata blocks, friction angle between coal and rock strata blocks, and tensile strength between coal and rock strata blocks.

It should be noted that the first mechanical parameter of the target coal and rock strata in this application includes both the mechanical parameters of the target coal and rock strata and the mechanical parameters of the joint surfaces of the target coal and rock strata, as shown in Tables 1 and 2, which are the mechanical parameters of the target coal and rock strata and the mechanical parameters of the joint surfaces of the target coal and rock strata obtained in an embodiment of this application, respectively.

[0084]

[0085] It is understandable that the first type of mechanical parameter obtained above is pre-selected, and the selection principles are as follows: ① Engineering experience principle: Based on the actual situation of similar projects and previous experience data, select geotechnical parameters similar to those of the actual project. This method is relatively simple, but requires certain engineering experience. ② Field testing principle: Obtain actual geotechnical parameters through field sampling and testing. This method can obtain relatively accurate parameter values, but it requires time-consuming and labor-intensive testing at the actual construction site. Based on relevant experimental data and the geological characteristics of the study area, and fully considering the characteristics of coal-bearing strata with multiple joints and fractures and the geological conditions of significant differences in lithology between coal seams and rock strata, the mechanical parameter data obtained from the experiments are appropriately converted. Furthermore, in order to obtain objective and accurate results, the mechanical parameters in this application can also be obtained by converting multiple sets of experimental results, that is, by adding up each type of mechanical parameter obtained from the experiment for each rock stratum and taking the average value, thereby obtaining more reasonable rock stratum mechanical parameters.

[0086] An initial geometric model corresponding to the target coal and rock strata is constructed based on the first mechanical parameters. To determine the initial geometric model corresponding to the target coal and rock strata, it is necessary to determine the size range of the geometric model, and then classify and demarcate the geology in the geological mining profile, assigning identifiers and assigning values ​​to their dimensions. Specifically, the geological boundaries in the geological mining profile are classified, including: topography, engineering boundaries, strata, and faultless areas. The specific steps for constructing the initial geometric model corresponding to the target coal and rock strata are as follows: First, determine the size range of the model. This size can be a pre-fixed value or adjusted proportionally according to the actual size of the target coal and rock strata. Then, generate geometric model blocks corresponding to the size range, perform a first joint on the geometric model blocks to generate a first preset number of primary sub-blocks; assign the mechanical parameters obtained from borehole measurements to the contact surfaces between each primary sub-block; then perform a second joint on each primary sub-block to further divide each primary sub-block into smaller secondary sub-blocks; assign the corresponding first mechanical parameters to the contact surfaces between each secondary sub-block. In one embodiment of this application, a UDEC model is established based on the obtained first mechanical parameters. Specifically, based on the requirements for creating a general UDEC model based on geological coal mining profiles, a command file is designed, and the design and template compilation of the UDEC command file are completed. The requirements are based on the relevant coal and rock strata mechanical parameters (as shown in Table 1) and joint surface mechanical parameter diagrams (as shown in Table 2) obtained from on-site measurements of the coal and rock strata. The UDEC model is established based on the aforementioned first mechanical parameters. Figure 2 As shown. The initial geometric model establishment process is as follows: After determining the size range of the geometric model, according to the different rock layers in Table 1, the geometric model block is jointed once to generate 8 first-level sub-blocks. Then, the mechanical parameters obtained from borehole measurements are assigned to the contact surfaces between each first-level sub-block. That is, each rock layer is divided into a separate interval, and the size range of the lithological layer is controlled according to the thickness of each rock layer in Table 1. The remaining mechanical parameters are assigned to the corresponding rock layers, and the remaining parameters are the identifiers. Then, the 8 first-level sub-blocks are jointed a second time to further subdivide each first-level sub-block into smaller second-level sub-blocks. Finally, the corresponding mechanical parameters are assigned to the contact surfaces between each second-level sub-block.

[0087] In one specific embodiment, the geometric model has a length of 400 meters and a height of 125 meters. First, create a new file and name it; set the radius of the rounded corner blocks of the cubes to 0.1 meters, and the maximum embedding distance between blocks to 1 meter; then generate a rectangular block range with a length of 0-400 meters and a height of 0-125 meters. Next, draw a straight line between the points (0, 113) and (400, 113), thus establishing a rectangular block at the four points (0, 113), (400, 113), (0, 125), and (400, 125). This block is defined by a joint, named 1. Then, define the joint angle as 90°; the joint length; the joint distance (vertical spacing); and the horizontal distance, with the starting point coordinates being 0, 113. Next, draw a straight line between the points (0, 104) and (400, 104), thus establishing a rectangular block at the four points (0, 104), (400, 104), (0, 113), and (400, 113). The scope of this block is defined by a joint, named 2. Then, the joint angle (90°), joint length, joint distance (vertical spacing), and lateral distance are defined, with the starting point coordinates being 0, 104. Next, a straight line is drawn between the points (0, 90) and (400, 90), thus establishing a rectangular block scope at these four points. This block is defined by a joint, named 3. Then, the joint angle (90°), joint length, and joint distance (vertical spacing) and lateral distance are defined, with the starting point coordinates being 0, 90. Next, a straight line is drawn between the points (0, 68) and (400, 90). Draw a straight line between points (0, 68), thus establishing a rectangular block at the four points (0, 68), (400, 68), (0, 90), and (400, 90). This block defines a joint, named 4. Then, define the joint angle (90°), joint length, joint distance (vertical spacing), and horizontal distance, starting at coordinates 0, 68. Next, draw a straight line between points (0, 54) and (400, 54), thus establishing a rectangular block at the four points (0, 54), (400, 54), (0, 68), and (400, 68). This block defines a joint, named 5. Then, define the joint angle... 90°; joint length; joint distance, i.e., longitudinal interval; lateral distance, starting point coordinates are 0, 54; then draw a straight line between the two points (0, 20) and (400, 20), thus establishing a rectangular block area at the four points (0, 20), (400, 20), (0, 54), and (400, 54). This block defines the joint, named 6, and then continues to define the joint angle 90°; joint length; joint distance, i.e., longitudinal interval; lateral distance, starting point coordinates are 0, 20; then draw a straight line between the two points (0, 3.5) and (400, 3.5), thus establishing a rectangular block area at the four points (0, 3.5) and (400, 3.5).The four points (0, 20) and (400, 20) define a rectangular block area. This block is defined by joints, named 7. Then, the joint angle (90°), joint length, joint distance (vertical interval), and lateral distance are defined, with the starting point coordinates being 0, 3.5. Next, a straight line is drawn between the points (0, 0) and (400, 0), thus establishing a rectangular block area at these four points. This block is defined by joints, named 8. Then, the joint angle (90°), joint length, joint distance (vertical interval), and lateral distance are defined, with the starting point coordinates being 0, 0. Finally, the maximum deformation of the block is defined, and the block conforms to the Coulomb criterion, with contact slip between joint surfaces – coulmb slip. Next, the block mechanical parameters of rock strata 1-8 are defined: density, bulk modulus, shear modulus, cohesion, tensile strength, and internal friction angle. The contact surface mechanical parameters of the contact surfaces between the blocks of rock strata 1-8 are also defined: normal stiffness, tangential stiffness, bond strength, friction angle, and tensile strength.

[0088] Understandably, before obtaining the second mechanical parameters of the target coal and rock layer through the Brazilian disc test block experiment, the gravitational acceleration of the target coal and rock layer can be set, for example, the gravitational acceleration velocities in the vertical direction at the bottom of the model and the horizontal direction on both sides can be set to 0 respectively.

[0089] The second mechanical parameters of the target coal and rock strata were obtained through Brazilian disc block experiments. These second mechanical parameters were then used to calibrate the first mechanical parameters of the primary sub-blocks, the contact surfaces between primary sub-blocks, the secondary sub-blocks, and the contact surfaces between secondary sub-blocks in the initial geometric model, thus obtaining the final geometric model corresponding to the target coal and rock strata.

[0090] The UCS (Unconfined Compressive Strength) test block model is calibrated by adjusting the input parameters of the block and contact surface using a trial-and-error method. The Brazilian disc test block model uses the spatial coordinates (x0, y0, z0) of the disc center to determine the location of the structural plane, and the angle between the disc and the rectangular coordinate system to determine the dip angle of the structural plane. The disc radius r is used to determine the size of the structural plane. The rock mass structural plane is calculated according to the following expression:

[0091] A(x-x0)+B(y-y0)+C(z-z0)=0

[0092] (x-x0) 2 +(y-y0) 2 +(z-z0) 2 <r

[0093] Among them, A=sinαsinβ, B=sinαcosβ, and C=cosα.

[0094] The use of a disk model can improve the statistical efficiency and accuracy of structural surfaces, and improve the accuracy of soil disturbance and collapse displacement to the centimeter level, making local displacement characteristics more obvious.

[0095] In one embodiment of this application, a UDECtrigon logic calibration model is established by creating a UCS test block model with a width of 3m and a height of 6m, and a Brazilian disc test block with a diameter of 3m. The input parameters of the blocks and contact surfaces are adjusted using a trial-and-error method to match the characteristics of the ore body and soil. The principle of trial and error is as follows: 1. Model alignment and positioning: When creating complex 3D models, defining a suitable UCS allows specific parts of the model to be aligned to coordinate axes that are easy to manipulate or measure. 2. Precise measurement and editing: Using a UCS, designers can measure and edit objects more precisely because it allows reference to local features of the model, rather than the global coordinate system. This is very helpful for verifying the dimensional accuracy of the model or checking for construction errors. 3. Visual verification: By viewing the model under different UCSs, designers can check the correctness of the model from multiple perspectives, helping to discover hidden alignment errors or inconsistencies. 4. Trial and error iteration: During the design process, the UCS may be adjusted multiple times to try different alignment methods or perspectives. This "trial and error" process is actually optimizing the model design through continuous adjustment and verification. By measuring various parameters of the coal and rock strata through on-site drilling, these data are edited into code to establish a rock strata topography similar to that on-site to match the characteristics of the ore body and soil, thus obtaining the final geometric model.

[0096] The final geometric model is subjected to tunneling simulation to obtain changes in the observed indicators within the final geometric model. These observed indicators include changes in depression depth, ground fissures, the overall collapse depth of the model, and the characteristics of model stress. For example, by adjusting indicators such as the excavation advance distance, excavation size, and excavation advance speed of the blocks located at the coal and rock strata in the final geometric model, the coal mining process is simulated; during the simulated coal mining process, changes in the observed indicators within the geometric model are obtained.

[0097] Numerical simulation was used to invert the fracture patterns of the ore body during tunneling in coal mining. Specifically, the UDEC model generated by the code was used for excavation, and the excavation advance distance of the coal seam was adjusted, along with the excavation parameters in the command code, for correction. During the inversion of coal mining, data of different strengths were embedded into the UDEC model via Fishfunction. The fracture patterns of the ore body were measured using these different strengths of data, including the settlement displacement, direction of settlement velocity, stress, and plastic failure zone of the ore body. The fracture patterns of the ore body included changes in model depression depth, ground fissures, overall model collapse depth, and model stress. In one embodiment of this application, the changes in the observed index are determined by the following method: A UDEC fracture basic model is generated; the block numbers, boundary composition of each block, and the order and coordinates of nodes on the boundaries are updated; UDEC commands for the blocks and the contact surfaces between these blocks are generated; the fracture basic model command file is meshed and edited; constitutive parameters of the blocks and contact surfaces are assigned values, boundary conditions are set, and calculation control operations are performed to generate a fracture calculation model and corresponding UDEC commands for calculating and determining the range of disturbance to the coal mining subsidence soil. See the specific model below. Figure 2 The mesh is generated based on the thickness of each rock layer, the angle of the joints, the longitudinal spacing, and the lateral distance. To update the block number, simply change the joint angle, longitudinal spacing, or lateral distance; the software will automatically update the block number based on the change in the size of each block. The parameters in Tables 1 and 2 are compiled into the aforementioned UDEC code command stream to assign values ​​to the constitutive properties and parameters of the blocks and contact surfaces. Based on the size of the established model, the left and right side boundaries and the bottom boundary of the model are fixed to prevent movement. The software automatically presents the results after the program finishes running. The model collapses, moves, and deforms, and fractures occur between the rock masses. The changes in crack formation, settlement, and stress are interpreted based on the phenomena observed in the results and the different colors corresponding to different data.

[0098] The formula for surface settlement is as follows:

[0099]

[0100] Where: S is the maximum settlement of the ground surface; Q is the volume change (volume instability or cavity volume) caused by underground mining; E is the elastic modulus of the soil; H is the thickness of the soil layer; R is the radius of influence, usually an estimate of the pit opening diameter or the range of the affected area; and r is the distance from the settlement calculation point to the center of the pit opening.

[0101] The formula for cracks is as follows:

[0102] D=(L S +L t ) / L C ×100%

[0103] Where: D is the number of cracks; L S It is the total length of the shear fracture; L t It is the total length of the tensile crack; L C It is the total contact length.

[0104] The results of the inversion of ore body fractures are as follows Figures 3 to 5 As shown, Figure 3 The black area on the right side of the image represents ground fissures, showing the progression from fewer fissures to more fissures. Figure 3 b, at this point, almost no cracks are formed. Figure 3 d, Delamination cracks appear. Figure 3 fhj, cracks are clearly developed. Figure 4 a. Stress concentration occurs at both ends of the goaf, while the direct top stress above the goaf is relatively small. Figure 4 b. Stress redistribution occurs, resulting in stress concentration zones on both sides of the goaf coal face. Figure 4 The stress disturbance pattern of the overlying strata in the goaf is similar as the working face continues to advance. Figure 5 a) The direct collapse caused a small displacement. Figure 5 b, directly causing a complete collapse. Figure 5 c The rock mass exhibits significant vertical displacement, indicating that it is in a stage of intense deformation.

[0105] This application uses the UDEC numerical calculation model to invert orebody fractures. UDEC is used to simulate the response of discontinuous media, such as joints and fissures in rock masses, under static or dynamic loads. From the perspective of discretization, rock masses are essentially jointed media. After coal seam mining, the overlying rock is fractured, fractured, and delaminated, which can be treated as discrete bodies. Moreover, there are force connections between blocks. The generated UDEC basic fracture model can be used to calculate the disturbance range of coal mining subsidence soil. The disturbance range of coal mining subsidence soil can be identified by the microseismic activity of orebody fractures during mining. This makes discrete element method widely used in mine rock mechanics and mine pressure research, and it is particularly suitable for simulating coal seam mining subsidence problems.
