Research on the First Breaking Mechanism of the Main Roof of Coal Seam with High Dip Angle

الملخص EN

In order to study the mechanism and characteristics of the first breaking of the roof in thick coal seams with high dip angles, a mechanical model of elastic thin plate with four clamped edges of the roof was established, and the expressions of the deflection and stress of the roof were obtained by the energy method.

The influence of the change in seam dip angle on the first breaking distance of the roof was presented.

Based on the stress solution, the roof breaking criterion was proposed, and the breaking distance of the roof was calculated.

Combined with numerical simulation, the stress distribution characteristics of the upper and lower surfaces of the stope roof were analyzed.

The results show that the first breaking distance of the roof is inversely proportional to the seam dip angle.

Broken morphology of roof in high dip seam is different from the “O-X” morphology of horizontal roof.

The roof breaking order of the seam with high dip angle is middle-middle upper-middle lower-upper-lower.

These research results have certain theoretical guiding significance for the study of the first breaking mechanism of the main roof of highly inclined working face of coal seams.
