Study and Application of Roof Cutting Pressure Releasing Technology in Retracement Channel Roof of Halagou 12201 Working Face

الملخص EN

The retracement channel roof cutting (RCRC) technology can change the overburden structure actively by cutting off the roof of channel along the direction of working face tendency and make use of the gangue collapsing from roof cutting range to fill the goaf and weaken the mining pressure during the retracement process of working face.

In order to solve the problems of high stress in surrounding rock and serious deformation of retracement channel in Halagou coal mine, it is the first time that the pressure releasing test is carried out on the 12201 working face by the method of the directional presplitting roof cutting in retracement channel.

First, according to statics theory and energy theory, the stress state of hydraulic support and roof deformation mechanism of retracement channel are analyzed.

Then the roof cutting design of retracement channel is determined according to the geological conditions of 12201 working face, and the cutting effect is analyzed by numerical simulation.

Finally, the field test is carried out on the 12201 working face to verify the effect of pressure releasing by roof cutting.

The result shows that, with the roof cutting design including the roof cutting height being 8m and roof cutting angle being 45°, the roof subsidence of the 12201 working face retracement channel in Halagou mine is reduced to 132.5mm, and the hydraulic support resistance is maintained at 1361KN.

And there is no hydraulic support crushed; the deformation of the retracement channel is also small; namely, the effect of roof cutting for pressure releasing is obvious.
