Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining technology, and specifically to a method for determining fiber modification parameters of backfill materials based on energy evolution brittleness evaluation. More specifically, it relates to a method for designing and optimizing fiber modification parameters and performance of high-water-content backfill materials in goaf retention and backfill mining projects. Background Technology

[0002] High-water materials have been widely used in coal mine backfilling engineering due to their advantages such as good fluidity, fast setting speed, and adjustable mechanical properties. However, with the increase in mining depth and intensity, traditional high-water material backfills can no longer meet engineering requirements. To address this, researchers have explored incorporating fibers as admixtures into high-water material backfills, achieving modification and optimization of the backfill's mechanical properties through the interaction between the fibers and the matrix.

[0003] However, the brittleness of fiber-modified high-moisture fillers directly affects their safety: excessive brittleness can lead to sudden fracture of the filler under roof pressure, causing overall failure; while excessive toughness (i.e., insufficient brittleness) may result in excessive deformation and loss of load-bearing capacity. Therefore, how to scientifically regulate fiber modification parameters to achieve precise control of filler brittleness has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed.

[0004] While research on the mechanical modification of cement-based materials such as ordinary concrete by fibers is relatively mature, high-water-content materials, as a special type of cement-based material, exhibit significant differences in their high water content characteristics and internal hydration reaction mechanisms compared to traditional cement-based materials. Currently, the regulatory mechanisms of fiber modification parameters (including fiber length, fiber type, and fiber content) and the water-cement ratio of high-water-content materials on the brittleness of infill bodies are still unclear, making it difficult to establish a quantitative correlation between "modification parameters-brittleness-strength". This leads to problems of insufficient or excessive modification in practical engineering, making it impossible to accurately match engineering requirements.

[0005] In addition, existing methods for evaluating the brittleness of fiber-modified high-water-content fillers have significant drawbacks: they rely heavily on single indicators such as "strain magnitude at fracture" and fail to incorporate the energy evolution characteristics of the entire loading process (such as changes in elastic energy accumulation, release, and dissipation). Therefore, they cannot distinguish the essential differences between the "brittleness of the crack initiation stage" before the peak and the "brittleness of the failure propagation stage" after the peak. Based on the above analysis, a method for determining fiber modification parameters of high-water-content material fillers based on energy evolution brittleness evaluation is established, which is of great significance for ensuring safe production in coal mines. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on this, this invention proposes a method for determining fiber modification parameters of backfill materials based on energy evolution brittleness evaluation. This invention innovatively reveals the brittle mechanism of fiber-modified high-moisture material backfill materials from an energy evolution perspective, solving the problems of lack of energy characterization in brittleness evaluation and reliance on empirical design for fiber modification parameters in existing technologies. It achieves precise matching between energy evolution analysis, brittleness quantitative evaluation, and modification parameters of the backfill material. This method provides a scientific basis for parameter optimization of fiber-modified high-moisture material backfill materials in coal mine goaf retention and backfilling mining projects, effectively reducing the risk of brittle failure of backfill materials, improving the safety and stability of coal mine backfill materials, and is of great significance for promoting green, safe, and efficient coal mining.

[0046] All reagents used in this invention can be purchased commercially or prepared by the methods described in this invention.

[0047] The engineering background of this embodiment: A mine mainly mines the No. 3 coal seam. The 1305 working face has a dip length of 210m and a strike length of 1200m. The average mineable thickness of the coal seam is 5.5m. It is a stable coal seam with a dip angle of 3°~5° and an average dip angle of 4°. The northern part of the working face is the goaf of the 1303 working face, and the southern part is the 1307 working face. The 1305 working face haulage roadway is left along the goaf and used as the return air roadway for the 1307 working face. The schematic diagram of the mining project of the 1305 working face is shown below. Figure 1 As shown in Figure A, the columnar section of the top and bottom strata of the 1305 working face is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Figure B, based on the production geological conditions of the 1305 working face, the mining situation of adjacent working faces, and the lithology and rock mechanics parameters, the support resistance of the high-water-content material roadway backfill in the 1305 working face transport roadway was determined to be 20MN / m. The width of the roadway backfill was set at 2.0m and the height at 4m. The compressive strength of the roadway backfill in the goaf-retention roadway during the stable bearing stage (7 days after construction) should be greater than 10MPa. To adapt to the rotation and subsidence of the key roof block, the strain value corresponding to the peak stress of the roadway backfill should be greater than 0.065. During the implementation of the goaf-retention roadway in the 1305 working face transport roadway, a high-water-content material backfill without fiber was used (water-cement ratio 1.8). Due to the insufficient toughness (excessive brittleness) of the roadway backfill, local cracking occurred under the slow subsidence of the roof, resulting in severe roadway deformation, frequent repairs, and seriously affecting the mining succession of the working face.

[0048] Example 1 like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a method for determining fiber modification parameters of infill bodies based on energy evolution brittleness evaluation, which specifically includes the following steps: (1) Preparation and curing of fiber-modified high-water-content material filling samples To systematically study the effects of fiber parameters and water-cement ratio on the mechanical properties of high-water-content filling materials and to determine the optimal material proportioning scheme, this experiment selected polypropylene fiber as the modifying material. The experimental parameters were designed using the controlled variable method. The specific scheme and preparation and curing process are as follows: Experimental parameter design: The fiber type was fixed as polypropylene fiber, with fiber lengths of 3mm, 6mm, and 9mm, fiber content of 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5%, and water-cement ratio of 1.0, 1.2, and 1.5.

[0049] Experimental preparation procedure: Accurately weigh the high-moisture material powder, polypropylene fiber, and water according to the above parameter combination. First, thoroughly dry-mix the fiber and powder evenly, then add the corresponding proportion of water and stir until the slurry is uniform and free of lumps. Next, slowly pour the slurry into a standard cylindrical mold with a diameter of 50mm × 100mm. During the pouring process, use a vibrator to gently vibrate and vent air to ensure the sample is dense and free of pores. Finally, smooth the surface of the mold and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent moisture evaporation. To ensure the reliability of the experimental data, three samples were prepared in parallel for each parameter combination.

[0050] Curing condition control: Place the cast specimens along with the molds into a standard curing chamber. Strictly control the curing environment parameters: temperature 20±2℃, relative humidity 96%, and continue curing for 7 days. After curing, remove the specimens from the molds for later use. Specimen preparation and curing are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0051] (2) Unconfined compressive strength test and energy parameter calculation Unconfined compressive strength tests were conducted on specimens of different ages using a compression testing machine. The loading rate was set to 0.5 mm / min. Stress-strain curves were simultaneously acquired, and the total energy (Us) was calculated using curve integration. T ), pre-peak elasticity (U e1 ), peak dissipation energy (U d1 Post-peak release elastic energy (U) e2 Post-peak dissipation energy (U) d2 The calculation models for each energy parameter are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A illustrates how the total energy (U) can be obtained from the full stress-strain curve. T and post-peak dissipation energy (U d2 The curve integral interval of ) Figure 3 B illustrates the extraction of the pre-peak dissipated energy (U) from the full stress-strain curve.d1 ), pre-peak elasticity (U e1 The integration method of ) Figure 3 C illustrates the extraction of post-peak elastic energy (U) from the full stress-strain curve. e2 The integration method of ).

[0052] The following example uses a sample of a high-water-cement material with polypropylene fiber, a fiber content of 0.3%, a fiber length of 6 mm, and a water-cement ratio of 1.5 to demonstrate the calculation process.

[0053] 1) Basic test data, the full stress-strain curve of the specimen is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the peak stress σ of this specimen p =11.9MPa, elastic modulus E=0.46GPa, residual stress σ r =9.5MPa, peak stress corresponds to strain α p =0.074, residual stress corresponds to strain α c =0.195; 2) Total Energy (U) T ), calculated using formula (1),

[0054] By integrating the pre-peak stress-strain curve using Origin software, U is obtained. T =463.55kJ; 3) Pre-peak elasticity (U e1 ), calculated using formula (2),

[0055] 4) Peak dissipation energy (U d1 ), calculated using formula (3),

[0056] 5) Post-peak release of elastic energy (U e2 ), calculated using formula (4),

[0057] 6) Post-peak dissipation energy (U d2 ), calculated using formula (5),

[0058] By integrating the post-peak stress-strain curve using Origin software, U is obtained. d2 =1209.68kJ.

[0059] (3) Calculation of brittleness and comprehensive brittleness evaluation index Taking a sample with a water-cement ratio of 1.5, a fiber content of 0.3%, and a fiber length of 6 mm as an example, the brittleness index of the filling body was calculated. The pre-peak brittleness D1 was calculated using formula (6), and the post-peak brittleness D2 was calculated using formula (7), respectively.

[0060] Standardized pre-peak brittleness D F The standardized pre-peak brittleness D is calculated using formula (8). B The calculations are performed using formula (9), as follows:

[0061] The comprehensive fragility evaluation index D is calculated using formula (10).

[0062] Figure 5 This study presents the variation characteristics of brittleness indices. These indices rely solely on pre-peak and post-peak energy characteristics, making them more suitable for brittleness analysis of high-water-content material infills under different fiber modification parameters and water-cement ratios. Depending on the engineering objective, pre-peak, post-peak, or combined indices can be analyzed. When focusing on the crack resistance of the infill, the pre-peak brittleness index D is used. F When considering the stability of the filling material after failure, post-peak brittleness D is used. B When a comprehensive balance of brittleness and toughness is required, a comprehensive index D is used. These indices make the brittleness analysis of fillings more flexible and adaptable.

[0063] (4) Analysis of the brittle-ductile transition characteristics of fillers under different fiber modification parameters The above tests and calculations were repeated for samples with all parameter combinations, and the results are as follows. Figure 6 As shown, the brittleness-ductility transition law of the infill body under different fiber modification parameters and water-cement ratios is analyzed.

[0064] 1) Analysis of the brittle-ductile characteristics before the peak For the standardized pre-peak brittleness D F Filler D under different parameter combinations F The values ​​range from 0.32 to 1.85, with the fiber content of the filling material being 0. F A value below 1 indicates a brittle range, meaning that the energy input from the outside during the pre-peak stage is mostly stored as releasable elastic energy, with a relatively small proportion of energy used for damage such as pre-peak crack propagation and ductile deformation. Figure 6 B and Figure 6 D shows that as the fiber content increases, D F It shows a significant increasing trend. When the fiber content reaches 0.3% or higher, sample D... FWhen the value exceeds 1, the region enters a range where toughness characteristics are prominent. This is because the incorporation of fibers improves the compactness of the internal structure of the filler, reduces primary porosity and microcracks, and the crack-blocking effect of fibers in the pre-peak stage makes the energy dissipation process more complete. More input energy is used for the interfacial interaction between fibers and the matrix and for inhibiting the development of microcracks, resulting in enhanced pre-peak toughness characteristics.

[0065] 2) Post-peak brittle-ductile characteristics analysis Figure 6 A and Figure 6 B shows that, unlike the pre-peak characteristics, the standardized post-peak brittleness of the filling material under all parameter combinations is D. B All values ​​are greater than 1, falling within the toughness range, and generally showing an increasing trend with increasing fiber content. In the post-peak stage of unfiber-infused fillers, crack propagation and penetration are not constrained by fibers; energy is mainly consumed in interparticle frictional slippage and fracture surface slippage, resulting in relatively concentrated energy release. However, with the addition of fibers, the bridging effect of the fibers restricts further crack propagation, requiring more external energy input post-peak to drive sustained ductile deformation of the filler. The post-peak dissipated energy U... d2 A significant increase, leading to D B As the value increases, the toughness characteristics become more pronounced.

[0066] Figure 6 A and Figure 6 C shows that, at the same fiber content, the water-cement ratio has a significant effect on post-peak brittleness and toughness. As the water-cement ratio increases from 1.0 to 1.8, the filler D... B The value increased from 1.63 to 1.95 because, under high water-cement ratio conditions, the hydration reaction inside the filling material was insufficient, leading to increased porosity and a higher residual elastic energy U after peak stress. e2 The reduced storage capacity, slower energy release rate, decreased post-peak external force input, relatively enhanced toughness characteristics, and increased water-cement ratio weaken the load-bearing capacity of the filling material, leading to a change in the balance between post-peak energy release and dissipation.

[0067] 3) Comprehensive transformation law of brittleness and toughness The comprehensive brittleness evaluation index D comprehensively reflects the brittleness and toughness characteristics before and after the peak. Its value first increases and then decreases with increasing fiber content, and increases with increasing water-cement ratio. The minimum D value of the filler with 0% fiber content and water-cement ratio of 1.0 is 0.45 (obvious brittleness characteristics), while the maximum D value of the polypropylene fiber modified filler with 0.3% fiber content and water-cement ratio of 1.8 is 1.70 (obvious toughness characteristics).

[0068] Further analysis revealed a distinct parameter threshold for the brittle-ductile transition of the filling material, such as... Figure 6As shown, when the fiber content is between 0.2% and 0.3% and the water-cement ratio is between 1.2 and 1.5, the comprehensive brittleness evaluation index D is concentrated around 1.0, forming a parameter range that marks the transition between brittleness and toughness. The modification parameters regulate the energy evolution and brittleness-toughness state of the material. When the parameter combination crosses this threshold range, the energy distribution pattern (the ratio of elastic energy storage to dissipation) of the filling material changes, and the brittleness-toughness characteristics change significantly.

[0069] (5) Parameter optimization and screening Based on the engineering requirements: strength > 10 MPa, strain > 0.065, and comprehensive brittleness index D > 1, a reasonable combination of fiber modification parameters was finally selected for the high-water-content material filling body. The fiber type is polypropylene fiber, the fiber content is 0.3%, and the water-cement ratio of the high-water-content material is 1.5. The comprehensive brittleness index D of the filling body obtained by the fiber modification parameters of this high-water-content material filling body is 1.63, which is within the safe range of toughness. The strength is 11.9 MPa, and the strain corresponding to the peak stress is 0.074. Before the peak, it is mainly weakly brittle, and after the peak, it is mainly strong and tough. It meets the comprehensive requirements of "crack resistance-bearing capacity-deformation coordination" for the filling body of the goaf retention.

[0070] (6) On-site engineering application verification Fiber-modified high-water-content material slurry was prepared according to the above parameters and poured into the roadway side filling using an underground pumping system. Field application results showed that during the stable bearing stage (7 days after construction) of the roadway side filling in the goaf retention roadway, no local cracking or brittle fracture occurred, and the integrity was good. The convergence of the roof and floor plates in the goaf retention roadway stabilized at 497 mm, the deformation of the solid coal face was 205 mm, and the deformation of the roadway side filling was 48 mm, meeting the roadway usage requirements. This effectively solved the problem of severe roadway deformation and frequent repairs caused by insufficient toughness of the non-fiber-added filling, verifying the scientific validity and engineering applicability of the parameter determination method. The deformation of the surrounding rock after the on-site implementation of the goaf retention roadway is as follows: Figure 7 As shown. From Figure 7 The surrounding rock deformation diagram shows that as the distance from the working face increases, the deformation of the roadway filling, the deformation of the solid coal side, and the approach of the roof and floor first increase and then tend to stabilize. When the distance from the working face is 120m, the maximum deformation of the roadway filling is 48mm, the maximum approach of the roof and floor is 497mm, and the maximum deformation of the solid coal side is 205mm. The deformation of the surrounding rock in the goaf-retained roadway is within the expected range.
