Theoretical analysis of anchorage-seepage coupling effect of the surrounding rock stability in deep buried abandoned chambers

Abstract

Abstract How to ensure the safety of abandoned mine resources, scientifically develop and utilize abandoned mine resources, and promote the transformation of resource-exhausted mining areas have become an important issue in the field of energy and environment in the world today. Aiming at the stability of the surrounding rock in deep closed/abandoned mine chamber, the mechanical model of the surrounding rock under the coupling effect of anchorage and seepage field was proposed. Considering the elastic brittleness degradation and plastic dilatancy effect of rock mass, the analytical solutions of stress and displacement of rockbolt-seepage-surrounding rock coupling system were respectively deduced, and the accuracy of the results were verified. Based on the analytical results, the evolution law of stress and displacement of the surrounding rock under the combined action of seepage field and anchorage effect were further revealed, and a new quantitative design method of rockbolt parameters was proposed. Results show that the influence of rockbolt spacing and rod diameter on the mechanical field is obvious, while the rockbolt length and pre-tension load is small. Dense, short rockbolt with larger diameter should be used in the surrounding rock of deep chamber. The influence of seepage on the displacement of the surrounding rock is very significant. The more serious the seepage is, the more obvious the control effect of rockbolt on the displacement is. Appropriately increasing the density and diameter of rockbolt can effectively reduce the displacement of the surrounding rock.
