Analysis of Surface Deformation Induced by Backfill Mining Considering the Compression Behavior of Gangue Backfill Materials
Coal gangue, as a solid waste produced in the coal mining process, can be disposed by being prepared into backfill materials and then filled in underground goafs, thus controlling strata movement and surface subsidence. However, gangue backfill materials are non-continuous; therefore, research into...

description | Coal gangue, as a solid waste produced in the coal mining process, can be disposed by being prepared into backfill materials and then filled in underground goafs, thus controlling strata movement and surface subsidence. However, gangue backfill materials are non-continuous; therefore, research into the surface deformation induced by backfill mining should consider the creep compression behavior of gangue backfill materials. The research took a backfill panel in Tangshan Coal Mine (Tangshan City, Hebei Province, China) as the background. In addition, broken coal gangue was collected in the field to prepare specimens of gangue backfill materials, and their creep compression properties were measured. The corresponding constitutive equation of creep compression was then established and embedded in the numerical software, FLAC<sup>3D</sup>. By building the numerical model for surface deformation induced by backfill mining, the surface deformation above the backfill panel under conditions of different creep durations of backfill materials was simulated and evaluated. In addition, two measuring lines were arranged on the surface to monitor changes in surface subsidence. After surface subsidence stabilized, the maximum surface subsidence was 163.4 mm, which satisfied the fortification criterion of surface buildings. This means the backfill mining did not affect nearby buildings. The results provide a theoretical basis for predicting surface deformation induced by backfill mining and its effective control. |
