With the increase in mining depth and deterioration of conditions, movement of thick and hard overburden frequently leads to mine earthquakes and rock bursts. This study investigates the dynamic disaster mechanism of an exceptionally thick and hard roof induced by hydraulic fracturing of vertical wells, providing insights for preventing and controlling such disasters.
With the increase in mining depth and the deterioration of mining conditions, thick and hard overburden movement frequently induces mine earthquakes and rock bursts. Some mines are expected to prevent and control super thick hard rock mine earthquakes through vertical ground well water fracturing technology. However, the dynamic underground disaster appears more intense. Taking the '11.30' mine earthquake in a mine in Shandong Province as the engineering background, the dynamic disaster mechanism of an extraordinarily thick and hard roof induced by hydraulic fracturing of vertical wells on the ground was studied utilizing field investigation, accident case analysis, similar material simulation test, and theoretical analysis. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) After hydraulic fracturing vertical wells on the ground, the movement mode of thick and hard roofs changed from layer-by-layer to overall sliding movement; (2) The influence range of the advanced abutment pressure of the working face is reduced by the hydraulic fracturing of the vertical shaft, and the peak value of the advanced abutment pressure increases. Furthermore, the advanced abutment pressure's peak is far from the coal wall; (3) The hydraulic fracturing technology of cross-arranged vertical surface deep and shallow wells and the hydraulic fracturing technology of cross-perforated surface multi-branch horizontal wells are proposed to avoid the dynamic disaster of overall sliding movement of an extremely thick hard roof induced by surface hydraulic fracturing. Therefore, these research results provide significance for preventing and controlling mine earthquakes and rock bursts in super thick hard roof mines.
