Study on Key Techniques for Multi-scale Expression of Laneway Traverse Data in MGIS

The multi-scale expression of enormously complicated laneway data requires differentiation of both contents and the way the contents are expressed. To accomplish multi-scale expression laneway data must support multi-scale transformation and have consistent topological relationships. Although the laneway data generated by traverse survey-ing is non-scale data it is still impossible to construct a multi-scale spatial database directly from it. In this paper an al-gorithm is presented to first calculate the laneway mid-line to support multi-scale transformation; then to express topo-logical relationships arising from the data structure; and,finally,a laneway spatial database is built and multi-scale ex-pression is achieved using components GIS-SuperMap Objects. The research result is of great significance for improv-ing the efficiency of laneway data storage and updating,for ensuring consistency of laneway data expression and for extending the potential value of a mine spatial database.

Simulation of goaf heating law and the fire cooling effect during methane drainage in high level laneway

For spontaneous combustion possibilities under large flux methane drainage in the goal, dynamic permeability in combination with the Forchheimer nonlinear equation was used to solve the problem of 3D oxygen distribution, heating law in goaf and to forecast the effects of fire protection by taking the fifth section face of the No. 18 coal seam in Nanshan Coal Mine as the basis for this study. The results demonstrate that if the vertical position of the drainage laneway is so low as to cause serious air leakage, a high oxygen concentration area exists in the return side of the goaf, and there is also a high temperature region which has faster heating rate than in the other areas. The effect of methane drainage on goal heating can be alleviated dramatically by simultaneous plugging and nitrogen injection. The results show that gas data in the return side of the goaf must be detected carefully in the work face, which is of similar drainage arrangement. Therefore, comprehensive fire protection measures should be carried out if conditions permit.

Mine laneway 3D reconstruction based on photogrammetry

Aiming at the problem of 3D reconstruction for mine laneway, the technique route and step were given based on digital close range photogrammetry and traverse surveying. 3D coordinates of laneway traverse point, photogrammetric station, control strip points were obtained by electronic total station based on mine coordinate system. The feature points were extracted from the scene images. The camera was calibrated by direct linear transformation (DLT). 3D relative coordinates of the arbitrary feature points in mine laneway were calculated after feature points being matched, in which the origin of coordinate system is photogrammetric station. The 3D absolute coordinates of the feature points in mine laneway can be obtained by the combined adjustment of photogrammetry and non-photogrammetric observations and coordinate conversion. The measurable 3D model of the underground laneway terrain surface was constructed with the 3D coordinates of feature points on the image pairs obtained. The measurable 3D model of a corridor was reconstructed by the mentioned method and the experiment precision with an average standard deviation of 0.013 6 m between the 3D model and practical measure was obtained by electronic total station. The experimental resulted show the validity of the proposed approach.

Simulation of groundwater level recovery in abandoned mines, Fengfeng coalfield, China

Abandoned mines are of high potential risk as they could be a large underground storage of pollutants(heavy metals and organic wastes, etc.). Various physical, chemical and biological reactions would take place when groundwater flows into underground spaces, which makes abandoned mine a huge potential hazard to groundwater environment. The recovery of groundwater level is one of the key elements controlling the reactions and causing such hazards. This paper simulated groundwater level recovery processes in the abandoned mines, Fengfeng coalfield by using the computer program FEFLOW. The paper integrated the pipe flow model, "three zones" model and groundwater inrush(discharge) model in the simulation of groundwater in the complex laneway-aquifer system. Groundwater flow in the laneway systems was considered pipe flow and described in Bernoulli equation. The water-bearing medium(coal seam roof) overlying the laneway systems was divided into "three zones" composed of the caving zone, fissure zone and bending zone based on the disruption degrees of previous mining. Groundwater in the Ordovician limestone aquifer(bottom of coal seam) flowing into laneway systems was considered a major inrush/recharge source, and its flow rate was calculated by an inrush(discharge) model which was newly developed in this study and incorporated into FEFLOW. The results showed that it would take approximately 95 days for groundwater in abandoned mines to recover to regional groundwater level elevation, and the total amount of water filling up would be about 1.41195×10~7 m^3, which is consistent with the actual data. The study could be of theoretical and practical significance to mitigate abandoned mines' hazards and improve mine groundwater utilization.

Fine analysis on advanced detection of transient electromagnetic method

Fault fracture zones and water-bearing bodies in front of the driving head are the main disasters in mine laneways,thus it is important to perform their advanced detection and prediction in advance in order to provide reliable technical support for the excavation.Based on the electromagnetic induction theory,we analyzed the characteristics of primary and secondary fields with a positive and negative wave form of current,proposed the fine processing of the advanced detection with variation rate of apparent resistivity and introduced in detail the computational formulae and procedures.The result of physical simulation experiments illustrate that the tectonic interface of modules can be judged by first-order rate of apparent resistivity with a boundary error of 5%,and the position of water body determined by the fine analysis method agrees well with the result of borehole drilling.This shows that in terms of distinguishing structure and aqueous anomalies,the first-order rate of apparent resistivity is more sensitive than the secondorder rate of apparent resistivity.However,some remaining problems are suggested for future solutions.

Supporting characteristics analysis of constant resistance bolts under coupled static-dynamic loading

To study the tensile mechanical properties of constant resistance bolts, the RFPA(Rock Failure Process Analysis) statics software is used to perform a uniaxial tensile test on a constant resistance bolt. The numerical test results show that the plastic strain value is 12 times the magnitude of the elastic strain. During plastic deformation, the fluctuation in the stress magnitude is relatively stable, indicating that the bolt has good constant resistance characteristics. The numerical test results are in good agreement with the laboratory test results of M.C. He, and the accuracy and reliability of the numerical test method are verified. Therefore, the RFPA software with coupled static-dynamic loading is further adopted to study the supporting effects of traditional bolts and constant resistance bolts under coupled staticdynamic loading. The numerical comparison of the test results show that the constant resistance bolts can effectively control the deformation amount and rate of the laneway surrounding rock, reduce the total and rate of increase in the accumulated acoustic emissions,decrease the stress on the units in the model and protect the stability of the laneway. This paper verifies that a constant resistance bolt has better impact resistance mechanical properties than those of a traditional bolt and provides an effective way to control rock burst and soft rock that is prone to large deformation damage.

Three-Dimensional Geoscience Modeling and Simulation of Gas Explosion in Coal Mine

Gas explosion is one of the most serious events in coal mine. In consideration of the limitation of past research method about gas explosion, three-dimensional(3D) modeling and simulation are suggested. This paper analyzes the research achievements on 3D modeling, and studies the modeling method of strata and laneway based on geoscience modeling. After the 3D modeling of strata and laneways, the simulation of gas explosion(such as gas exploding, color, burning, virtual wandering and rock caving) is performed. The research method is meaningful for safety analysis and safety survey.

Key Technology of 3D Geosciences Modeling in Coal Mine Engineering

A new method for simulation technology of laneway engineering seamless excavation based on 3D geoscience modeling(3DGM)was proposed to overcome the deficiency in current research.The generalized triprism(GTP)data model was used as the basic modeling element in this method.The models of geological body were created by the method of rock pillar body partition(RPBP)modeling.The laneway engineering models were built with component method,while the corresponding triangles in sections were connected and transformed into tunnel GTP models.All the GTP models were converted into tetrahedron models based on the smallest vertex identifier(SVID).The simulation and spatial analysis of laneway engineering seamless excavation could be realized through the local hierarchical intersection(LHI)algorithm.The application case showed that the method was fast and effective,and it could meet the needs of design and spatial analysis for mine laneway engineering.
