Stability mechanism and countermeasure of the solid coal rib in deep gob-side entry retaining: Insights from theoretical analysis numerical simulation

The stability and integrity of the solid coal rib in deep gob-side entry retaining (GER) can be compromised due to the cyclic loading and unloading caused by mining-induced stress. This can lead to failure of the deep GER during depressurized mining operations. In this study, we focus on a specific...

description The stability and integrity of the solid coal rib in deep gob-side entry retaining (GER) can be compromised due to the cyclic loading and unloading caused by mining-induced stress. This can lead to failure of the deep GER during depressurized mining operations. In this study, we focus on a specific case at the 94103 working face in Qishan Coal Mine of Xuzhou Mining Bureau. We establish an engineering model that describes the interaction between the solid coal rib and the main roof in GER, aiming to elucidate the characteristics of main roof failure and instability throughout the entire GER process. this model particularly emphasizes the mechanical properties of the solid coal rib as a contributing factor. Additionally, developed a limit stress state model for evaluating bolt-supported plastic solid coal ribs, which helps determine appropriate support resistance levels to prevent two common forms of failure in these ribs. Furthermore, created a numerical calculation model to investigate different bolt conditions' impact on solid coal rib failure mechanisms. Finally, based on field monitoring data validation, we propose control measures for reinforcing solid coal ribs along with suggestions for roof support design and filling body construction schemes under similar geological conditions. These research findings offer valuable guidance for developing effective reinforcement strategies for filling bodies.
