This results in a very low production efficiency and in a low degree of extraction. In recent years short-wall continuous mechanical mining has been extensively used in many situations except shallowly buried coal seams with thin bedrock. The principles governing movement of the overlying strata above the 2-2 coal seam were deduced from in-situ experience, laboratory data, calculations and computer simulations. The thicknesses of the bedrock in the Shendong Coal Field where the coal is shallowly buried are classified into 5 types: <10 m, 10–15 m, 15–25 m, 25–35 m and >35 m, which was done using fuzzy clustering results. A series of reasonable, relative parameters in each category have been calculated and analyzed. One proposed way to perform short-wall continuous mechanical mining in shallowly buried coal seams is given. This is significant for coal mines with similar geological conditions.展开更多

Based on a hard-and-thick strata,which acts both as the floor of the upper coal seam and as the roof of the lower coal seam, nine mining projects were put forward to examine the mining of upper and lower coal seams, and a numerical simulation was used to study in detail the corresponding top-coal compressed volume of the lower coal seam. By the simulation effects of different layouts of coalface, the rational mining method was determined to be the staggered layout of coalface in the upper and the lower coal seam. This can ensure the successful use of fully-mechanized coalface with top–coal caving in the lower coal seam.展开更多
