This invention relates to the field of roadway safety optimization technology, and discloses a roadway
layout method for water control and scour prevention in mining-induced fault zones. The method includes: analyzing the geological and hydrological conditions of the mining area to obtain parameters of the fault
fracture zone,
aquifer parameters, and the range of mining-induced
impact; dividing the mining area into multiple
hazard level zones, including a
stress reduction zone, based on the fault's
water conductivity and
stress concentration; determining the safe distance for water control between the roadway and the fault based on the width of the fault
fracture zone,
water pressure, and the
impact of mining, and optimizing the width of the water-control column; and arranging the roadway within the
stress reduction zone according to the characteristics of mining-
induced stress distribution, and controlling the angle between the roadway direction and the fault direction to be an
acute angle. This invention can significantly reduce the risk of fault-induced water inrush, effectively mitigate the danger of rockburst, achieve coordinated water control and scour prevention, improve the rationality of roadway
layout, enhance the stability of the surrounding rock, and reduce disaster management and maintenance costs.
