Evaluation Method for Rock Burst Hazards in Strip Filling of Working Faces in Deep Coal Mines

Abstract

The impact risk evaluation for the strip filling of working faces has always been a research hotspot and a difficulty in the field of rock bursts. In this paper, the concept of the critical filling rate is first proposed, and the criterion for identifying the impact risk of the strip filling of a working face is established. Then, the membership function of coal body stress and the coal seam elastic energy index to impact risk was established, and the classification index of the impact risk grade was formed. On this basis, the overall and local evaluation method of the rock burst hazard for the strip filling of working faces was proposed. Finally, the C8301 working face of the Yunhe coal mine was taken as the engineering background, and the impact risk evaluation was carried out. It was found that the overall risk of the C8301 working face was determined as a strong impact risk, and there were six local risk areas, which included two weak impact risk areas, two medium impact risk areas, and two strong impact risk areas. This study can provide guidance and a reference for the impact risk evaluation of strip-filling mining under the same or similar conditions.
